 When you enable the Autoproduction system, the game sets shipping to global. Meaning any vehicle produced at any factory can be shipped anywhere in the world. The game is unable to adjust production numbers and take into account shipping restrictions or distances. Therefore even district shipping restrictions are ignored when Autoproduction is enabled. When you enable the Autoproduction system, the game sets shipping to global.

 Just below the checkboxes in the Auto Production system is the "Limit Production To" system.  This system lets you set specific vehicles that the game can produce at the selected factory. The vehicles on the left are vehicles that you can add to the list. The list on the right is your production list. If no vehicles are on the right-side list, then the factory can produce all vehicles.  Just below the checkboxes in the Auto Production system is the "Limit Production To" system.  This system lets you set specific vehicles that the game can produce at the selected factory.

-When you add new factories, branches, and designs, the game does not recalculate the existing factory line allocations. Therefore it's a good idea to occasionally reset all production lines using the "Idle Factories" Auto Tool in the Mega Menu. FIXME This will reset every factory you own in the game, forcing Autoproduction to recalculate your entire production allocations.

 If you enable "Restrict Shipping to the Same Region/Continent" you won't be able to produce at least two of your vehicles. And if some of your models use more than one production line, you won't be able to produce even more vehicle models. Since you restricted shipping within the Continent, you'll miss sales on all those models, even if you produce them outside of the region. If you enable "Restrict Shipping to the Same Region/Continent" you won't be able to produce at least two of your vehicles.
