Loader
A logistics building for loading/unloading factory materials.
Loaders belong at transfer boundaries; counting machines without them can leave a project with no practical feed path.
When it fits: Include it at the interface named by your production or shipping plan.
The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 3 Xenoferrite Plates, 3 Machinery Parts, 1 Electronic Components at Assembler I / Assembler II / Assembler III; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. It is a connection object whose count depends on the layout, not a product that substitutes for storage or production capacity.
