Alerts
Alerts show small triangle icons shown on the right of the toolbelt and make a sound unless muted. Warning icons are shown directly on a given entity. Alerts globally inform the player of the status of the factory, including missing construction material or entities being destroyed, warning icons show the status of a given entity, such as low power or ammunition.
Alerts can be clicked to show the position of the entity which caused the alert on the map.
