So ive downloaded alot of maps on steam to see if i fancy playing them!
havent downloaded any maps from here,only other mod/scripts but i think alot read here but dont post here aswell
but Industries are almost always out of balance,
like 3 oil refineries and 3 x oil well to supply 3x fuel and 3 x plastic, but you actually need 12 oil wells and 6x oil refineries
to fully supply 3x fuel refinery +3x chemical plants
So i thought i would make a small Guide for thoee that make maps, all tho i doubt many will actually use this, i hope some will
Industries are divided into 3 Categories
6 x Raw Materials ( Grain, Iron ore, Coal, Logs, Crude Oil, Stones) all except Stones are 2:1 ratio further down industriychains
4 x Temporary Commodity ( Steel, Oil, Planks, Plastic)
6 x Final Product (Fuel, Machines, Tools, Construction Materials, Food, Goods)
Production Chains
Fuel : 2x Oil Well 1x Oil Refinery 1x Fuel Refinery (2:1 ratio -> 1:1 ratio)
Machines : 2x Forest 1 x Saw Mill 2x Iron ore mine 2x Coal mine 1x Steel Mill 1x Machines Factory (2:1 / 2+2:1 -> 1+1:1 )
Tools : 2x Forest 1x Saw Mill 1x Tools Factory (2:1 -> 1:1 ratio)
Construction Materials : 1x Stone Quarry 1x Construction Materials Plant (1:1 ratio)
Food Processing : 4x Grain Farm 1x Food Processing Plant (2:1 ratio)
Goods : 2x Oil Well 1x Oil Refinery 1x Chemical plant 2x Coal mine 2 x Iron Ore mine 1 x Steel Mill 1 x Goods Factory (2:1 -> 1:1 / 2+2:1 -> 1:1 -> 1+1:1 Ratio)
Example Goods you there need following
2x oil Wells 2:1 ->
1x oil refinery 1:1 ->
1x Chemical plant
2x Coal Mine 2:1 ->
2x Iron ore mine 2:1 ->
1x Steel Mill
1x Goods factory 1+1:1
Example for production of Goods + Machines you would need the following
Raw materials : 4x Iron ore mine, 4x Coal mine, 2x Forest, 2x Oil well (2:1ratio)
Temporary Commodity : 2x Steel Mill (2:2 ratio), 1x Oil Refinery -> 1x Chemical plant, 1x Saw Mill, (1:1ratio)
Final Product : 1x Goods factory 1x Machine Factory (1+1:1 Ratio)"Steel/Planks + Steel/Plastic"
Made a spreadsheet where you can plot in number of final product plants you want and it should calculate number of Raw material/Temporary Commodity/Final plants you need to place to have balanced industries

Hope this makes sense if not plz comment
p.s my first post here on Transportfever.net, hope its ok its only only english, i can read german well but not good at writing in it sorry
Updated Food with correct ratio also in the sheet
