Find the network bottleneck
Separate supply, vehicle capacity, loading and path availability before choosing an upgrade.

How to approach the decision
Editorial planning advice based on the confirmed systems above.
- Follow one delivery from origin to customer.
- If vehicles wait empty, inspect supply and compatibility; if they queue loaded, inspect the receiving stage.
- Use the checklist to record what you have actually checked.
A mistake to avoid
A symptom at one station may originate several transfers upstream.
Unknown values and independent test scope
Reproducible launch-build issue cases and capacity measurements.
Official documentation, historical developer statements and editorial inspection advice have separate scopes. Exact unobserved values remain Unknown. A published global patch does not establish an independent test of this guide.
