Primary Industries:
In TT, primary industries are there all the time. They just pump out raw materials and you go and deliver them. They can fluctuate with demand and world conditions. Secondaries and consumers are infinite sinks, they will just accept, accept and accept.

Secondary Industries:
These guys process the raw materials, so they are the ones who request the raw materials to be transported. They fluctuate based on economic conditions and supply levels. The consumers are sinks, and the primaries are sensitive to the secondaries.

Consumer:
This is perhaps overkill, but the consumer determines how much the secondaries need to produce, which determines how much the primaries need. Although this is "realistic", it may be too unstable and require too much attention to the routes.

Each one comes with their own set of consequences for how we deal with delivery, payment and how the industries link together.

Locked until the DD discussion arrives at this issue.
