Lighting Bolt

In some of the screens of the game i noticed in the unit interface one of the factorys or plantations had a lighing bolt in its picture, does that mean ACDC is playing there or is that something to do with electricity?

When that lighting bolt is green, it means that the structure is active (producing an output). If it is red, it means that it is not producing. You can press that lighting bolt to deactivate the structure.
Also, structures can be deactivated not only by the player hand... maybe you can't collect the resources right now because something happened with the collection point... or you may have a strike on that region.
If the structure is deactivated automatically, you cannot activate it back until you have solved the "problem".

I was hoping for ACDC but thanks for the info. I alway found at these forums if you try to ask a good question you usually gleen some type of info out of the guys. So I was wondering if there were any more buttons to push on the factories or plantations unit pics , like upgrading or something.

Yes there are, you can upgrade or convert structures.
