You fixed the Industries DLC logic, but now your generic industry is starved, which means imports aren’t reaching them yet.

This is a normal transition issue after resetting an industry area in Cities: Skylines Remastered.

==== 🔴 Why this happened (important) ====

When you erased and rebuilt the forestry area:
* Truck routes were reset
* Warehouses/log yards changed priorities
* Generic industry temporarily lost import routes

Generic industry does NOT use Industries DLC supply chains directly.
It relies on:
* Imports OR
* Warehouses (not log yards)

So even though forestry works now, generic industry can still starve.

==== ✅ FIXES (do these in order) ====

===== 1️⃣ Generic industry needs WAREHOUSES (not log yards) =====

Log yards only serve Industries DLC buildings.

Generic industry needs:
* Warehouse → Zoned for Raw Forest Products (or Generic Goods)

===== ✅ Do this =====
* Place 1–2 Small Warehouses
* Set to BALANCED
* Place them between cargo terminal/highway and generic industry

⏱ Wait 1–2 in-game weeks.

===== 2️⃣ Temporarily boost imports =====

After a reset, imports lag behind demand.

===== ✅ Quick stabilizer =====
* Add one temporary cargo train terminal OR
* Direct highway ramp near generic industry

You can remove it later once supply stabilizes.

===== 3️⃣ Check district policies (VERY important) =====

If your generic industry district has:
* Industry 4.0 → ❌ breaks raw-material demand logic
* No Heavy Traffic → ❌ blocks imports
* Old Town → ❌ blocks trucks

===== ✅ Fix =====

Turn ALL district policies OFF for industry districts.

===== 4️⃣ Don’t overzone generic industry =====

After a reset, demand spikes but supply lags.

===== ✅ Rule =====
* Let existing generic industry fill storage first
* Do NOT zone more for 2–3 in-game weeks

===== 5️⃣ This will self-fix (if you wait) =====

This specific problem often resolves on its own once:
* Warehouses fill
* Import routes stabilize
* Traffic recalculates

⏱ Usually 2–4 in-game weeks.

==== 🧠 How to know it’s fixed ====

Click a generic factory:
* If storage % starts rising → ✔ working
* If trucks say “Importing” → ✔ correct
* If exporting while starved → ❌ warehouse missing

==== ✅ Ideal long-term setup ====

===== 🎯 One last check =====

Tell me:
1️⃣ Do you have any warehouses near generic industry?
2️⃣ Are generic industry trucks importing or idle?

That tells me whether you need one warehouse or a policy fix — nothing more.
