After 53 hours, I made it to Director but maintenance and warehouse costs were so high that they overwhelmed earnings.

For example, rail was making $12m a year but maintenance was also $12m so net earnings were zero. This isn't about having maintenance buildings. This is the fixed cost for stations, tracks, and warehouses.

The final straw was I missed my first of many dozens of subsidies and was fined $42 million. I couldn't recover from that, so I'll start a new game and see if I learned from my mistakes.

Still a lot of fun and a more complicated puzzle than TP2.

How far have you reached and what were your opinions?

I have all the necessary goods, but they are not moving where needed.

Do you pass them from one zone to another with:

1. RC Commanders and drone zones.

2.Routes set with the delivery vehicles.

3. Overlapping drone hubs.

4. Overlapping colonies, which I have now and don't work that way.

5. Other

I discovered a cargo ship needing repairs. I shipped the needed repair parts and it confirmed completion.

But the cargo ship has disappeared. It's not at the trade dock. It's not listed at the top menu listing number of ships.

Was I missing the proper tech? Will it reappear after the tech? Does the trade dock need some sort of upgrade?

I cannot figure out how to extend the pipe into the ocean from the waste icon on the other end. I've hit every key and can't figure it out. It won't let me place the waste without extending the pipe so I can't set it and add a pipe.
