What to study

The cargo counterpart to the city destinations layer, at regional scale: three gradients share one panel (green for transport, cyan for commercial supply, yellow for industrial supply, each Low to High), and the desaturated region map lets a single traced green route read against towns and terrain. Where the city layer answers where passengers want to go, this one answers whether goods can get there, which is the question every cargo chain in the game turns on. Caveat: this pre-release trailer frame carries a small not final software caption at bottom right; it covers no panel content. Timed manual extraction, since the scene-change net cut around this held shot. Frame at about 0:50 in the Release Date Announcement Trailer (Steam).
