I'm trying to build a game with item manufacturing, a bit like a mix of factorio and sim city, with logistics and other stuff. I never really played transport tycoon. I tried, but it felt quite overwhelming.

Cities Skylines: Industries DLC adds some logistics to the game, but it’s relatively rudimentary and the main challenge is not crushing your road network with trucks.

>I tried, but it felt quite overwhelming. How come? TTD (OpenTTD) has a rather gentle learning curve. Find an industry that produces a resource (say a Forest), find an industry that consumes said resource (a Sawmill). Plop a train station next to both, connect it by rail. Place a depot next to the rail, buy a locomotive + a few wood wagons. Set it to go to the Forest station, load up, go to the Sawmill station, unload, repeat. That's pretty much the whole game. You can also learn to design complex tracks making use of signals, but you don't have to.
