Leveling up?

[MarkShot9]

In a supply chain ...

What makes the chain start level up?

What make the city increase demand?

What make intermediate industries level up?

How can I manipulate things to maximize the ultimate throughput of the chain?

Thanks.

All factories will level up when they have spent a certain amount of continuous time with all of production , shipment and transport in the level up zone on the right (above 75% maybe)

An intermediate producer will be much more likely to level up when the final producer has done so eg 100 planks are required by a tools factory at level 1 but 200 at level 2 , so it will call more planks forward when it is at level 2.

Cities increase demand as they grow so increasing the population multipliers is the key ,they will also grow a bit over time up to about the year 2000.

Chain start level ups when you deliver enough cargo from it. Intermediate industries level up when you deliver enough cargo from and to it. Cities increase demand when they grow and they grow when you transport passengers often enough, transport demanded goods and keep low emmision.

So, passengers are the key drivers. What encourages passengers other than size?

Beyond that leveling up is a "pull"; not "push" process?

Thanks.

Also note that there is now information on all of this in the new wiki that Urban Games has released alongside the patch today.
