To produce output, a factory must have the needed raw materials, and also must have someone to sell the product to. That means you need to bring in goods (cow, flour, fish...) and pick produced goods (food) and bring it somewhere else (supermarket).

Yes, I know I know  ;) But my problem is different...Factories after some time (e.g 1 year in game) stop produce.Produce less and less until at last stop.

Maybe some numbers could help. Or if you provided a savegame, maybe someone could test it and take a look on it.

If any of the elements from the chain is saturated with goods, the whole chain stops producing, until that element consumes enough goods.

Hmm...So what I should do ?A time limit for transportation between the elements and then it returns to normal?

Check to see if you have 'Just In Time' set to '1' in simuconf.tab. The one in the PAK Cofig. If so, set it to '0'.

But maybe your problem is the max. production per month. For example this coal mine:

If you connect it with a power plant, the coal mine will be able to produce more units per month.
