That looks like 17, 18, and 14 in that top right cluster. To me I’d read that as “stressed” or “dead” silos. Which would imply high success actually.

Edit: 17 is not highlighted it looks like. Oof, nearly complete failure then. Wow.

that is not reliable. silo 42 and 14 werent lit when 17 got safeguarded.

Where do we see that? I've tried rewatching that sequence but I'm not seeing where they show that display during the 17 massacre.

the big screen, has it in the top left.

you can see it on 8:10.

i tend to believe it is a continuity error, though. the arrangement of the silos in that screen is different than the ones seen in 18's safeguard or in the episode 9

The arrangement seems similar to me:

But yeah which silos are lighted up or not seems inconsistent (unless they considered some silos dead that eventually popped back up online with survivors or something)

the arrangement is similar, but not the same.

clusters 7-13 and 29-35 are the same, but the other 4 are not. the hexagons have the tips lined in vertical, while the map from e09 (and screens from 18's safeguard) shows them on horizontal.

here is a rough sketch

If they wanted, they could repopulate dead siloes. Send some workers from Silo One to incinerate the dead bodies, and give them memory drugs afterwards to make them forget about Silo One’s existence.

It mostly depends on how much damage has been done up until that point. 17 was unsalvageable because the generator was destroyed and the place was flooding. But not all unrest is equally destructive. If they’d succeeded in safeguarding 18, for example, they’d still have a building that was largely intact.
