Ironline Command: reading a jam before it happens

Ironline Command lives and dies on flow, and the moment a network jams, everything downstream grinds to a halt. The good news is that jams are almost always predictable if you watch the right numbers.

Keep an eye on any node where inputs pile up faster than outputs clear. That's your future bottleneck. Adding a second route before it saturates is far cheaper than untangling a full stall.

Resist the urge to expand fast. A smaller network that flows smoothly beats a sprawling one that chokes. We learned this after a very frustrating scenario reset.

Once you internalize that rhythm, the game turns almost meditative. Building a system that just quietly works is the whole reward, and it's a good one.
