Indicator Lights are tube lights situated on electricity-powered and generator buildings that reflect the building's operating state. There are four total operating states they can display. Indicator Lights have a hitbox and cannot be walked through, but structures such as Walkways can be built through them if they aren't within the hitbox of a building.
Power consumers or generators that lack Indicator Lights are:
AWESOME Sink
Nuclear Power Plant
Particle Accelerator- Power Storage, which has a charge indicator on its side instead
- Freight Platform and Fluid Freight Platform, which have an icon on the crane that lights up when they are operational instead
- Lights
- Crash Sites
The Radar Tower has three Indicator Lights, the only building to have multiple. All lights display the same color.

Trivia[]
- Indicator Lights were not named until the 0.5.0.2 patch notes, where they were named "Building Status Indicator Lights". 0.5.0.10 patch notes refer to them as "Status Indicator".
- There is an "indigo blue" state which only appeared on unfinished or improperly implemented buildings, it cannot occur during normal gameplay, but can be seen in some older trailers.
