Make upgrade ports visually different than conveyor ports
I keep seeing players confuse the upgrade ports (smaller yellow ports on assemblers/refineries and of course modules themselves) with conveyor ports and they don't know why they can't transfer things. Conveyor system is complicated enough, I think it'll be nice to not have this on top.
Simplest solution would be to recolor them, but I think a completely different style would be better, especially if they're also indicating a direction (similar to real cables where one has a poke-y bit and the device has a hole-y bit), because another confusion I suspect is that you can connect an assembler and a refinery with these ports, which is of course false, only an upgrade module can connect to them and only directly.
For example like in https://www.glenair.com/rf-microwave-and-mmwave-interconnects/pdf/rf-supernine/233-290.pdf
upgrade module's ports:
everything else's upgrade ports:
The blue would also separate them from the conveyor ports.
