Not enough buyers? [Industries]

[Ghost of Mildred Monday]

I'm trying to make a small city with a mostly oil-based workforce, I have commercial buildings to keep demand down but my oil industry is a lot larger. Either way it still seems like I'm not able to sell ANY resources for some reason, I even have a cargo airport next to my oil district but literally nobody is using it to export goods. Is there somewhere I need to go to enable exports or am I doing something wrong entirely? Appreciate any help!

You need to increase your storage.

I have 19 crude oil storage centres, almost all of them full

[Mr. Monday]

The storage for your processed goods, not the raw.

So, a warehouse? I have a large warehouse and I still haven't seen a SINGLE freight truck drive to the cargo airport to export anything

[Mr. Monday]

Ideally the warehouses that hold your processed goods should be solely delivering to your Unique Factories. The UFs should then be taking their goods to a nearby warehouse that holds what they make. Those warehouses should be delivering to both your commercial areas and exporting facilities.

Update: After starting a new game on a new map, I seem to have no problem with exporting goods now, I haven't tried using a cargo plane hub yet but they have been delivering via highway, cargo boat and train so far

Do you find you make all that much money off UFs? I have a couple of them and even setup a small metal and glass industry to supply a couple of them, but in all honesty I seem to have been making way more with a well-balanced petroleum network (That wasn't even very large)
