Planetary Interaction Routing and Item management

I recently started PI and have discovered, to my chagrin, that if you miss a route on a facility, it will continue wasting your materials until you make the discovery. Not only is this a ludicrous concept given the general mechanics of research and manufacturing in the game, but it's completely insane to think that a production facility (anywhere... ever) is going to just take a finished product and dump it in the garbage.

I propose a change to how planets display information for their facilities. For instance, right now, it blinks orange if there aren't any resources available or there are no resources coming in. However, there's no way to tell if there is a route going out. And adding a bit of a buffer on item storage for production facilities (you can't set a route for finished products between facilities, but you won't just toss it all in the trash if there isn't a route).

Let's get this to CCP so we can at least get it in the queue of things they can take a look at.

THIS. So many times, THIS.

Also, if the receiving warehouse/landing pad is full, perhaps the production facility pauses production?
