What to study

The Conveyor overlay applies the same grey-out trick to logistics: every machine in the electrolyzer room goes monochrome and the shipping network lights up as fat orange rails, segmented like toy track. Direction is never in doubt, the white loader and receptacle machines that interrupt the rails are stamped with big up and down arrows, and the cargo itself is drawn as pale blue squares riding one vertical run, so a player can trace a solid's whole journey from pickup to drop-off in one glance. Even the automation is surfaced in the same picture language: the white machines carry tiny glyph plates (a clock dial, wavy lines) announcing the sensors wired into the line. Frame at about 0:38 in the Launch Trailer (Steam).

Screen inventory

• orange conveyor rails crossing the frame in segmented, bolted sections, one horizontal trunk, three vertical runs
• pale blue square packets riding the right-hand vertical rail, the only cool colour in the frame
• white loader/receptacle machines interrupting the rails at the crossings, stamped with direction arrows (up at the left junction, down at the right)
• small glyph plates on the white machines: a timer/clock dial and a wavy-lines sensor mark
• the greyscaled electrolyzer room behind: gas pumps, filters and batteries all flattened to grey
• a suited duplicant's grinning face visible through its bubble helmet at the right, also desaturated
