You guys have been using the phrase “cosmonaut mode” a lot lately. That’s a self-imposed restraint thing and not a game setting, right?

I have a problem that I remember happening before, but I can’t remember how I fixed it. My trucks won’t pick up asphalt from the asphalt plant.

Edit: never mind, I am particularly dumb today. There was a bitumen delivery truck tucked into the plant that had its “wait until fully unloaded” flag set.

Dig oil -> refine -> ship out all the bitumen, and enough fuel so your tanks don’t fill up (which would stop the bitumen production).

Unless things have changed a lot, that’s a nearly instant way to print tons of money.

Something like:

Build industry for export income.
Watch industry. Does it appear to be “fully functioning”?
If no, add more people and/or trucks.
If yes, choose another industry (possibly by seeing what you import the most of) and repeat.

Smaller everything. If there is a building try and get the smaller version. Imho.
Except the kindergarten, right? Then you want a much larger one as I remember.
