Distribution Pad

The Distribution Pad is an electrical pad item that automatically teleports items of a similar type into nearby storage containers. It functions as a localized sorting/transfer device: when an eligible item is placed on or passes over the pad, the pad moves that item into one of the storage containers that are positioned close to it rather than leaving it on the ground or requiring manual pickup.

The pad only affects items classified as similar type; it does not indiscriminately move every object in its area. Items must match the pad's similarity criterion to be transferred, and the destination must be a storage container located within the pad's effective proximity. The device therefore serves as a compact, passive conveyor between an area where items accumulate and adjacent storage, enabling unattended redistribution of like items into nearby inventories.

• Use the Distribution Pad when you want automatic relocation of repeatable or stackable items into nearby chests, bins, or other storage units without direct player intervention.
• The pad requires both a matching item type and at least one nearby storage container to complete a transfer; if no eligible container is present, items remain where they are.
• Positioning matters: place storage containers close to the pad to ensure items are routed correctly and to avoid items remaining on the pad due to lack of a nearby destination.
• Because the pad groups by similarity, it is best deployed in setups where a specific category of items is regularly produced or collected, so those items are routed to a dedicated storage network automatically.

The Distribution Pad is a simple, reliable tool for streamlining item flow between a local gathering point and surrounding storage when the items to be handled are of the same or similar type.
