A workshop that stops should say whether it lacks supplies or has no room

Production buildings stop for two opposite reasons, and players need to know which one, or they fix the wrong thing. There is also a quiet bug where a blocked workshop eats its supplies again and again. Here is how to tell both stops apart.

Why this works

A workshop has two separate gates, one at the start for what goes in and one at the end for what comes out, and each can stop it for the opposite reason. Telling the two apart is what lets the player fix the right side.

When not to use it

Skip it for simple producers that never wait, like a free well or an endless mine, and where input or storage can never run out. Showing two kinds of stop there only adds noise and extra things to explain.
