| The potential shows how much cargo could be ordered (for requirements) or shipped (for products) per year. The value is calculated based on the sum of production and free storage space of all suppliers respectively consumers. | The potential shows how much cargo could be ordered (for requirements) or shipped (for products) per year.

| + | If an industry has a higher production then its potential for shipping, the output storage will be used to buffer the overproduction until the storage is full. If the potential rises above the maximum production, the output storage will get emptied. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Frequency of shipping** | ||
| + | |||
| + | Consequently, the lower value (maximum production or potential) determines the frequency of the shipping. For example, if the maximum production is 200 (per year) and the potential is 100 (per year), then 50 items will get shipped per year - approximately one every 3-4 days. | ||

| - | In the example below, two quarries feed the construction materials plant. The plant is currently producing 108 units per year and its input storage for stone is full. The quarries have a potential of 54 (half of 108) and will try to ship 54 units of stone per year, each to keep up with the construction materials plants demand. If the production at the plant changes, the potential of the quarries will change too (with a delay). An input storage at the plant which is not completely full will also result in a higher potential for the quarries. If the potential of the quarry raises above its yearly production, it will use stone stored in the output storage to keep up with the demand until it gets upgraded. | + | In the example below, two quarries feed the construction materials plant.

| Please note, that this example is just for illustration. There would be no need to feed the plant with two quarries, as one quarry can keep up with a construction materials plants production. | Please note, that this example is just for illustration.
