Item Retrieval Machine

Technology Level 49. Logistics station that lets you pull items from every chest in the base without jogging wing to wing when a craft stalls on one missing stack.

The usual recipe is Pal Metal Ingot ×100, Paldium Fragment ×30, and Bio Battery ×4. Pal Metal and batteries are late sinks, so finish the metal and battery loops before you treat this as a free QoL click. Park it beside your main craft row and the Large Toolbox so retrieval and tool access share one stop. Guild shared stock still benefits from a Guild Chest when mates need a dump point that isn't buried in private crates.

Use the machine when assembly lines and kitchens keep stalling because the ore, cloth, or food sat three rooms away. It doesn't replace sorting discipline, but it cuts the dead walk that kills throughput on big footprints. Confirm which containers count as chests in game before you rebuild after a base move.
