Thank you for the feedback! I’d appreciate it a lot if you had any specific suggestions for visual indicators. Currently it’s really just “on fire or not” and “is it a goal”, so I think a few more like “what direction it will move if it’s a motor” and “is the goal activated” would be helpful. As for the pause/play, that’s definitely on the list now so thanks!

If I were making it, I’d maybe connect all the gears to generators with wires. The wires could be different colors for powered/unpowered or an animation could play for the powered generators. Then the goal could shift to powering the unpowered generators. A simpler solution would be to put a little icon (lightning bolt or target) in the middle of the corresponding gears
