===Configuration===
Some equipment has configurable behavior, for example [[loader]]s can be configured to unload.
Pertinent to this section, the selected configuration can change the pipe connection types. This happens with [[Refinery||Refineries]] and [[Chemical Lab]]s for example. In this situation, the pipe connections aren't labeled until the equipment is powered, so it's recommended to select a recipe and power the equipment before connecting pipes.
