What influences the availability in the settlements supply line target selection?
I've seen nice "loops" of supply lines on the net.
But in my game, I often cannot select nearby settlements as targets in the "supply line target selection list" when setting up a supply line, because they are greyed out. The further I progress in the game the more confusing does the supply line target selection become. It seems to get smaller and smaller.
e.g. in Nordhagen Beach I cannot select Finch Farm nor County Crossing. Why is that? Can I influence this by changing other supply lines?
EDIT1: Seems like I have to clarify my personal game state here: I have the local leader perk. I have many settlements, which I usually build by building a recruitment bacon and assigning the first settler which walks into the newly aquired settlement to be provisioner. This worked fine for the first 10 settlements. The issue came up only recently, namely on the settlements of Nordhagen Beach and Somerville Place.
I do not intend to build a supply line hub, I just want to connect the settlements to the nearest settlement in the already existing network (which is not a closed circle, no has it a central hub)
EDIT2: Here is a screenshot of my current supply lines and the target selection list, viewed in Finch Farm. It's not showing Finch Farm being disabled, because I have no savegame from before setting up the supply line and later savegames (after I already created a line to a different settlement) seem to have fixed themself.

What does establishing supply lines between settlements do?
Establishing a supply line between two settlements instantly allows you to access any items stored in the workshop inventory from both locations. This doesn't apply to all things \u2014 strangely enough, the resources for crafting are pooled, but the actual items cannot be found in the inventory selection.Do supply lines work both ways fallout 4?
yes both ways. but always a settler needs to be sent for each base. [vanilla]. Just to add one more thing to the mix, yes, a supply line is two way BUT the provisioner counts towards the population of the settlement of ORIGIN only.What is the purpose of supply lines in Fallout 4?
A supply line is something that connects settlements and allows them to share workshop inventory space. This means you could deposit something in the Sanctuary Hills workshop and retrieve it at the Hangman's Alley workshop without having to schlep it all the way there yourself.What is shared between settlements Fallout 4?
