Problem — hard to see at a glance which machines are working and which are not.

Possible solution - Add an Andon Light button on the keyboard, similar to the Alt button that shows recipes sturcture is running. When clicking on a unit, there is already a status light shown, so it is in the code already.

Andon lights are often used in manufactuing to be able to quicly see at a glance see if a process is running / if there is a problem / if it is stopped, so would tie into factory vibe.
