Hi Guys, I'm relatively new to Anno 1800 and the entire Anno series as a whole, so sorry if this is a dumb question. Here's the scenario, and I'm curious if someone could explain the trading mechanics.

1. Islands A and B both use product X.

2. Only island A is fertile, so trading must happen to supply island B with X.

3. When setting up the trade route, how do I ensure that both islands A and B receive proper supply, instead of the trade route starving A as the supply island, and overstocking B as the receiving island?

I obviously can reduce the quantity of goods in the trade route to properly bottleneck both islands, but is there an automatic way to ensure an even distribution of goods?

Or is it just manual tinkering as you grow?
