You mean how to get the transports to continously supply you factories with the good they need to work? since your playing X3R you should have the Bonus Pack if not go here and download it: http://www.egosoft.com/download/x3/bonus_en.php

Then use CAG or CLS to supply the factory they do it automatically if you configure them right, check this threads out for how to use them:

They can also be used to sell the wares your factories make.

hope this helped.

As stated previously it's best to use the Commercial Agent script from the bonus pack to deal with this.
The egosoft script is functional but you need double the transports to have an efficent factory.

To get the default script working simply set the transports home base to the factory and then use the trade command in the console to set it to buy a specific resource as far as i'm aware you can only have each transport buy one resource so it quickly gets out of hand if you have a factory with alot of requirements.

The Commercial Agent will do this on its own, buy multiple resources and even sell your products without any further setup. Use it

Ah but they can. Just set the autojump values in the ship settings and it'll jump and refuel.

This also works with sector traders.

That does not exist in X3R.

The "learning" supposedly adds "immersion" and "balance". Without it you simply have AGI.

It is trivial (in S&M scale) to adjust the level parameter and get "top level" instantly.
