Quick review of the starting situation:
- 1 used 8t dump truck
- Depot with 1t (used), 8t (used/new), 20t (used/new) and 40t (used/new) vehicles
- It can also upgrade your trucks with floaties for $ 2,000 / t, or with ocean floaties for $500,000 / t.
- Vehicle limit for this depot starts at 4, increased by 1 for every 10 towns completed to a max of 6.

Available industries in the starting area:
- Gravel Pit (-> Gravel)
- Dry Dock (Wood, Fibreglass, Plastic -> Boats)
- Worm Farm (-> Worms, Fertiliser)
- Oat Farm (Fertiliser -> Oats)
- Sheep Farm (Oats -> Sheep, Fertiliser)

All roads are already 50t (orange) or 100t (pink), so you won't have to do any road upgrades.

Completing Towns in NZ will award you $1 for each person living there, and is one of the main moneymakers of the game. It can award Boost, Power Boost or Loader buffs to your vehicle. Completed towns allow you to create your own industries in that town. There's some easy to complete towns nearby:


Starting with the 4th, every 5th business completed will grant your vehicle a 2× travel speed multiplier up to the max of 6×. If the vehicle already has 6×, it will be granted to the next vehicle in the list. You can see the number of completed business at the top of the screen, left of your money (mailbox icon). Easy to complete businesses in the area:


Complete a Town ($ 1,000)
Complete Mangere (Gravel).

Supply an Industry (+2 Max Game Speed)
Deliver Fertiliser to the Oats Farm, then complete Takanini (Oats).

Moving Sheep ($ 1,000)
Deliver Oats to the Sheep Farm, then complete Red Hill (Sheep).

Exploring More ($ 1,000)
Deliver Gravel to fix the road.

Super Fast Trucks ($ 10,000)
Complete 4 businesses.

The new area has quite a few industries:
- Steel Mill (Iron Ore -> Steel)
- Fibreglass Factory (Sand, Plastic -> Fibreglass)
- Dairy (Sorghum -> Milk, Fertiliser)
- Cheese Factory (Milk -> Cheese)
- Tomato Farm (Fertiliser -> Tomatoes)
- Gold Mine (-> Gold)

The Fibreglass Factory is at Miranda, on the coast east of the Steel Mill, north of a broken road which you can't repair right now. You'll have to drive around for it to show up.

There's another road south which can be repaired with Gravel. This opens up another 4 industries:
- Iron Mine (-> Iron Ore)
- Oil Rig (-> Oil)
- Plastic Factory (Oil -> Plastic)
- Sorghum Farm (Fertiliser -> Sorghum)

We now have unlimited production of Plastic and Steel, which are important for upgrading industries. Oil is also used to repair roads, and to produce Asphalt.

Deliver some oil to the plastic factory and then deliver plastic to the Oil Rig to upgrade it. Upgrading industries is important as it increases production and decreases consumption.

After upgrading an industry 3 times, you are allowed to build new industries of that type in completed towns. This will become important when you reach South Island.

The Oil allows you to repair a road east of Hamilton which unlocks another few industries:
- Asphalt Pit (Gravel, Oil -> Asphalt)
- Timber Mill (Wood -> Planks)
- Paper Mill (Wood -> Paper)
- Spring (-> Water)
- Kiwi Fruit Orchard (Fertiliser -> Kiwi Fruit)
- Piggery (Mung Beans, Sorghum -> Pigs, Fertiliser)
- Chicken Market (Chickens -> Chicken)
- (locked) Flour Mill (Wheat -> Flour)
- At Tauranga on the east coast there's a Ship Depot but ships are way too expensive for now.

One of the industries is "locked" which means you cannot access it until the town is completed.

Deliver some Oil and Gravel to the Asphalt Pit.

Next to the Asphalt Pit is a broken road requiring Asphalt which leads to another few important industries:
- Forest (-> Wood)
- Rock Pit (-> Rock)
- Mung Bean Farm (Fertiliser -> Mung Beans)
- Lettuce Farm (Fertiliser -> Lettuce)

The final important industry you need is north of Auckland, requiring Steel and Gravel to repair the roads.
- Sand Mine (-> Sand)
- Shearing Shed (Sheep -> Wool, Fertiliser)
- Chicken Farm (Wheat -> Chickens, Eggs, Fertiliser)
- (locked) Glass Works (Sand -> Glass, Bottles)

Now you have all of the important industries and can complete almost all broken roads, and upgrade most industries a few times.

Remaining industries on North Island:
- Flower Farm (Fertiliser -> Flowers)
- Pig Market (Pigs -> Pork/Bacon/Ham)
- Cattle Market (Cattle -> Beef) - no cattle
- Vineyard (Fertiliser -> Grapes)
- Orange Orchard (Fertiliser -> Oranges)
- Wool Mill (Flowers, Wool -> Wool Yarn)
- Printer (Paper -> Newspapers)
- Burger Store (Bread, Beef, Cheese, Tomatoes, Lettuce -> Hamburgers)

To speed things up, get a used 20t truck for $ 75,000 and complete some businesses to get your vehicles to 6× multiplier. Don't spend everything as you will need to start a bunch of new industries when you get started on South Island.

By now you will have gotten Contracts to expand to Australia and Germany. The town required for Australia can be done with your 6× 20t vehicle, but for Germany you will need Wheat from South Island.

To get started on South Island, you need to repair the "road" at Wellington with Boats, and get Floats for the vehicles you want to cross. There's a quarantine sign on the road, which blocks a great number of goods, like Steel, Wood, Sorghum, Wheat and many others.

Using the good that are still allowed, you can repair most of the broken roads and see what industries are on South Island:
- Wheat Farm (Fertiliser -> Wheat)
- Barley Crops (Fertiliser -> Barley)
- Cattle Ranch (Sorghum -> Cattle, Fertilizer)
- Sheep Market (Sheep -> Mutton)
- Bread Bakery (Flour -> Bread)
- Winery (Grapes -> Wine)
- Clay Pit (-> Clay)
- (locked) Brick Works (Clay -> Bricks)

There's a couple of towns which are easy to complete, where you can build the industries you need to get things going on South Island. The size of the industry is determined by where you click on the industry icon, ranging from size 2 at the top to size 10 at the bottom. To keep the prices reasonable, buy small (size 2) industries.

One of your goals here is to get Wheat to North Island, which requires to you max upgrade the Wheat Farm on South Island. To do this you need Steel, Plastic and Wood. Plastic is not blocked by the quarantine, but the other 2 are.

Therefore you'll need to buy at least 1 Sorghum Farm ($ 50,000) for the Cattle Ranch (to produce Fertiliser), and a Forest ($ 80,000) and Steel Mill ($ 100,000) for upgrading. If you're short on money, try completing some easy towns, as they pay $1 per inhabitant on completion.

To unlock Australia, you have to complete Whangarei on the North Island. It requires the following:
- 37 Planks
- 51 Wood
- 51 Steel
- 47 Oil

All of these can be gotten fairly easily and the town can be completed with a single 6× 20t vehicle.

Note: NZ industries initially are locked for the rest of the world and have to be unlocked by completing a certain number of businesses/towns that require their products.

In Australia you start with a brand new dump truck (8t) but are locked into a fairly small area with only a Gravel Pit.

After repairing all the roads around you with Gravel, you unlock 2 more industries:
- Spring (-> Water)
- Rock Pit (-> Rock)

Now you are locked in by a bunch of broken roads that require limestone, but no limestone quarry. You should have gotten the contract "ACT Road Fix". If you haven't make sure you explore all towns in the area.

Completing the contract will modify the resource requirements of the broken roads, but you need to complete Ngunnawal for the contract. Ngunnawal needs:
- 62 Gravel
- 62 Rock

You can barely do this with your starting truck, but to make it easier you can complete some businesses in NZ to give your truck a 2/4/6× multiplier.

Now you can repair the surrounding roads with Rock, and then use Water to put out the bushfires to the east and south, which will reward you a 40t truck.
It also unlocks a few new industries:
- Limestone Quarry
- Clay Pit
- Lettuce Farm
- Tomato Farm

Now with Clay, Limestone, Rock, Gravel you can unlock a large part of Australia.

The second Brush Fire contract (area round Sydney) is a bit more tricky as the area is blocked off by more broken roads, requiring Concrete, Dynamite, Aluminium, Bricks, Oil, or Steel to repair.

You will also find 2 more locked areas to the south (Victoria Road Fix contract) and west (South Australia Road Fix contract). You will need to use rail to complete these. Keep exploring up the east coast and you'll find the rail yard with a contract that awards a free 100t train.

You'll also notice towns with a purple circle. This means they are connected to 2 or more types of transport network, for example road and rail. Once you complete them, you can build a storage here to swap goods from one type to another, for example Iron Ore from rail to road.
