Good point, this brings up an interesting dichotomy. The question is then whether a distinction should be made between hand switching and ...

- If the machine is deadlocked, then how could it be cleared?


The fluid should leave the machine as a product would. The player would have to make sure there is space available in the fluid system.


- How would deadlocking the machine this way make the game better and more fun?
