Most equipment has [[cable]] and/or [[pipe]] connection points, which need to be connected after the equipment is installed for the equipment to function.

Equipment that requires power has a light red hexagon shaped connection point. A [[cable]] carrying power should be run to this connection point.

#When equipment is not receiving power, the equipment icon is darkened and a red lightning bolt flashes on it.
#When equipment is connected to power, it will begin powering up. During this time the equipment remains dark, but the flashing lightning bolt is replaced by a light red power bar that begins filling.
#Once the power bar fills, the equipment will be fully powered up, and the icon will lighten.

Pipe connections are circles that are color coded to match the fluid/gas.
*When not connected the circle is unfilled, has an arrow indicating the direction of flow, and displays text labelling the type.
*Once connected, the text and arrow disappear. If the connection is an input with nothing flowing, the circle will be unfilled, otherwise the circle will be filled.
*[[Tank]]s do not have a pre-defined type, nor a flow direction, so when empty and unconnected the circle will be a generic gray color and lack an arrow or text label.
