I've been bitten by the #Factorio bug again and it got me wondering: were there are any #DOS games about automation and optimization?
Transport Tycoon (Deluxe) shares some ideas with its signal networks, rail bandwidth/congestion and its resource tree of materials (albeit simple, with iron ore -> steel mill -> factory -> goods being the most complicated one)
Maybe there were some shareware games that went deeper into production chains?
