Data Format

Each data line defines a flow from source to target with a numeric value:

Sugar Plantations -> Distillery 3000
Distillery -> Taverns 2000
Distillery -> Ship Provisions 1000

Nodes are created automatically from the source and target names. The same node can appear as both a source and a target to create multi-level flows.
