Is it possible to buy factories as 'human' instead of just building them for free as 'public service'?
No, this is not intended, since you're a transport company. You only transport all the goods and p****engers.
The reason you can do this as public service is for creating scenarios.
No, I don't mean that you'll own them. But I mean ; instead of putting the factories on the map for free, is it also possible to pay (let's say) 20.000 $ to build the factory?
No this is noot possible.
But you can switch to the public service and then build the factories. You have to connect these new factories with other factories, if you want to transport goods from or to these new factory.
Where you exactly find the tools epends on the pakset.
okay, thanks :)
