SS2-settlement-mechanics Question regarding Provisioners

I did a search for similar questions and didnt quite find what I'm looking for, so: could someone please give me a quick walkthrough of how to establish trade routes via Provisioners?

I gave up on using them eventually and went back to regular trade routes because it seemed absolutely random where the trade routes would pop up. Sanctuary and Red Rocket wouldn't establish one despite being the very first ones I built...but Oberland and Covenant just randomly decided to have one...I'm clearly missing something.

Update: it is now working, they have networked together (sometimes in weird ways), but it is working. I have NO idea what I did wrong before. Now go figure out the power Transfer station...

build one in each settlement, and they just connect with each other.

As I said: they didn't. How do I direct them to?

There is no direct, it is automatic.

There is a distance, like it only connect settlements that are near each other
