Line 117:

Item outputs block because the item needs to be removed from the machine, either by a crew member or by a [[Robot Arm]].

If the item type has a specific ~~storage location defined, either a~~ [[~~Storage Zone]] or a [[Storage Crate~~]], and all of that specific storage is full, then the crew will not unload the item. This is intended behavior, to avoid overproducing items.

If the item type has a specific [[storage]] location defined, and all of that specific storage is full, then the crew will not unload the item. This is intended behavior, to avoid overproducing items.

*If this behavior is not desired, either avoid specific storage for this item, or have a robot arm unload the item into an empty space (forcing the crew to then move the item to general storage).

*If this behavior is desired, don't use robot arms, or have the robot arm unload into the specific storage.

Line 129:

**The input equipment is itself blocked, and needs to be unblocked.

**The input equipment is operating slower than the output. In this case the "Blocked" on the output equipment tends to flicker as pipe contents move and halt.

~~===Manned Equipment===~~

Certain equipment must be manned to operate. In the schematics view, a green hexagon next to the equipment indicates that the equipment is manned and where the operator must stand. The hexagon will be filled when the equipment is manned.

Line 134:

*The equipment lacks the necessary inputs, either input pipes are empty or item inputs haven't been delivered.

**For pipe inputs this is indicated by the pipe connection circle appearing hollow rather than filled. If the equipment has a right-click menu, the input "reservoir" will be less than full and unchanging.

**For item inputs, the right-click menu will show a ghost of the input item rather than a solid item. (Note that robot arms can deliver items from storage crates or tracks, which will minimize this downtime)

** For item inputs, the right-click menu will show a ghost of the input item rather than a solid item. (Note that robot arms can deliver items from storage crates or tracks, which will minimize this downtime)

*The equipment requires certain environmental conditions that haven't been met.

**[[CO2 Scrubber]]s only operate if CO2 is in the air

**[[Gas Collector]]s only operate if the ship is in a [[Sector Map#Gas Clouds|gas cloud]]

**Hyperspace equipment only operates during hyperspace

** Hyperspace equipment only operates during hyperspace

*The equipment ~~must be manned,~~ and ~~isn't currently~~

*The equipment is a [[:Category:Crew station|crew station]] and lacks an operator
