I'm not having any luck getting anything to pull either with the smithicator and the work bench etc, the compost maker works, egg puller works, veggie box works so far

first thing you need to do is hold E to open the radial menu on the item. In this case the smithicator. Go to the "Select Storage to Pull From" (or something similar) option. Check the boxes of inventories you want to pull from and click confirm.

Then to pull you go to the middle section of the UI and click "Set Pull Multiplier" and input how many crafts worth of resources you want to pull. Then highlight the engram/bp/or item to repair and click "Pull Resources" in the middle UI

so it only works if you have a specific engram selected then? ok I will give that a shot, I thought it was just a thing were it moved the resources over and then you could pick whatever (kinda like moving them yourself lol) I did the rest but the engram since I didnt know about it

thanks for the response Jish.. i have manged to get the vaults to pull items on demand when cicking the "pull selected items" button but none of the other storages (smithicator, chembench, etc.) will pull anything on demand.. also the remote stopped working for me also.. the vault remote that is.. i dont know if this has to do with aberration and he just needs to update the mod or if it ever worked because I just recently started using this mod.. but anyhow.. now that I have the grinder I've seen that it will pick up almost anything off the ground that I drop and my industrial forge takes raw metal out of my argentavis' inventory when I fly close enough to my base but then I have to manually drop the stone and then the grinder picks it up and then i have to have a vault hanging on the wall above my smithicator and/or chembench and place 1 stone inside of it to get it to pull all of the stone out of the grinder.. but my only problem now is I'm afraid of dropping thing son the ground because I dont know for certain what my grinder will and wont pick up lol
