Trade Routes

Intro
Trade Routes are Player designed routes that enable the transportation of a large number of products across long distances on the map using larger capacity vehicles compared to Destination Trucks. Typically they are used to transport products from industrial centers to Settlements but can be used to deliver products needed in other industrial centers to satisfy a Recipe there.

Depots and Trade Vehicles
Unlike normal Destination Trucks, which can move between any building, Trade Routes are restricted to only transport between Depots. There are 4 different types of Depots: Each Depot uses a specific vehicle that corresponds to their type to move products. Each of these Vehicles also has their own method of movement, Stats, and Costs associated with them. See below
 * Truck Depots
 * Train Stations
 * Boat Depots
 * Zeppelin Stations

Tips and Suggestions
Truck routes are very useful to collecting various Products in medium distances and sending them to a Settlement all at once.

Adding Stops to a route cuts on costs of moving Products since you only pay for the Dispatch of the Trade Truck once. E.G. if you move a product to 4 different cities from a industrial center.

Zeppelins are awesome vehicles to use but are expensive to operate.
