Robot Arm notes
- Given power, it keeps transferring items from the side it picks up from to the side opposite.
- If a container with enough room sits on the far side, the items go into it.
- Interacting with the Robot Arm opens its filter menu.
- Choose an inventory item as the filter to make it pick up only that item (the chosen item is not consumed).
- Clearing the filter removes that restriction.

What you get from salvaging Robot Arm (Salvage and Repair Station)
Robot Arm can be salvaged. Salvaging it gives the following items.
For each material, the amount is "amount used to craft × 0.49 (lower when durability is down, 0.3 at 0 durability) × the item's multiplier", and a fraction is the chance of one more (2.4 means 2, with a 40% chance of 3). The range is from 0 durability to full durability (items without durability always count as full). Scrap parts are a fixed number set by the item level. All items that can be salvaged are listed in salvaging.
