When commanded to [[Travel|move to a new location]], a Blockhead will pause as the game calculates its path. During this time, the gear symbol will appear and animate above its head.

==Trivia==
Normally you don't see the gear symbol because you don't need to make big trips. If you ''are'' making a big one, then you will probably see the symbol above your head. 
Normally the gear symbol isn't visible because the calculations happen too quickly.
==Bugs==
Sometimes, when you travel long distances, the gear symbol will suddenly disappear and your selection box will disappear also, resulting in staying in your spot.

The Gear Symbol is an icon that appears over a Blockhead that is is "finding" a way to a new location.

Appearance

The gear symbol looks like two gears turning, one bigger than the other, in unison.

Use

When commanded to move to a new location, a Blockhead will pause as the game calculates its path. During this time, the gear symbol will appear and animate above its head. Once the calculations are complete, the symbol will disappear and the Blockhead will either begin moving or the destination selection will be aborted as inaccessible.

Very long or complex travel requests may spontaneously abort due to internal limits on the game's path calculator.

Trivia

Normally the gear symbol isn't visible because the calculations happen too quickly.
