Trace from a real consumer backward

Select the consumer and confirm it currently demands the exact good; not every nearby building accepts every cargo.
Check that the final station or stop is the right type and within the consumer's effective catchment/connection.
Follow the active line backward one segment at a time, including transfers. Confirm a vehicle is assigned and running on each line.
At every station, check that the station handles cargo and the vehicle has a compatible wagon/hold for that good.
Finally confirm the producer has output and is connected to the first station. Fix the first broken edge rather than expanding the whole network.

Find the broken edge

Signal	Likely category to inspect	Next controlled check
Producer has no output	Industry inputs or production state	Read the industry's current input/output panel
Cargo appears at origin but not on vehicle	Station type, line stop or cargo-compatible vehicle	Check station cargo handling and vehicle cargo class
Cargo reaches transfer station and stops	Missing second line, terminal assignment or incompatible leg	Trace the active line from the transfer to a demanding consumer
Consumer is nearby but unserved	No connected last mile or wrong station catchment	Use the line/station coverage view and add a valid final connection

Use community examples carefully

Steam discussions often show one map's line, mod set or industry layout. Use a thread to identify what screenshot might help, then verify with the developer manual and your own cargo/line panels. Do not assume another player's vehicle list or station coverage matches your game.

Before you play

I confirmed current demand for the exact good.
Every station handles cargo and every vehicle carries that cargo type.
Each transfer has an active line and assigned vehicle.
I traced a working final connection to the consumer.
I changed the first broken link before buying more capacity.

Frequently asked questions

Why is cargo not produced even though a station is next to the industry?

A nearby station alone does not prove a complete route to a demanding consumer; check the full connected chain and current industry state.

Can any train carry any cargo?

No. The vehicle and wagons must support the cargo type; use the game UI and manual to verify compatibility.

Does GamerWin inspect my transport lines?

No. This is a checklist based on values you verify in your own save; it does not access game files.
