The Tally Bin

The bin is an ME network for those who carry things the plain way: automatons with sigils and hoppers. What is put into the bin goes into the network once a second. Items chosen by clicking the bin (up to nine) it keeps a stack of from the network — Unload and Issue take them from there, and the Ledger sees them.

Paint Stow on the bin, and automatons carry their load straight into the network; Issue — and the Reserve of any chest takes its shortfall from the network. Sneak-use with an empty hand to clear the choice: the stock goes back into the network.
