Auto Arm

The Auto Arm is an automation item in Astroneer. It allows players to automate the movement of items around their bases, with the ability to transfer Tier 1 items from one slot to another.

Uses
The Auto Arm allows players to automate the moving and storage of items, working well with Medium and Large Resource Canisters.
 * In order to function, the Auto Arm must be placed on a Tier 2 slot supplied with power. Once powered, the arm can be toggled on and off either manually or using a sensor/repeater.
 * The Arm's input/output areas can be viewed by hovering the cursor over the arm.
 * The Input area is marked by a green circle.
 * The Output area is marked by a blue circle.
 * When turned on, the arm will:
 * 1) Search for items in its Input area,
 * 2) Pick up items in its Input area,
 * 3) Rotate around 180 degrees,
 * 4) Search for an open slot in the Output area,
 * 5) Place the item in the open slot, then repeat the procedure.
 * If no empty slot is available, the arm will hold the item until a slot frees up.
 * The slot in the center of the Arm is the filter slot. If an item is placed in this slot, the Auto Arm will only pick up that item type.
 * The Auto Arm will consume power at all times, even when idle.
 * The Auto Arm can pick up and place down 17.5 items/minute (.292 items/second) while fully powered.
 * If underpowered, the Auto Arm's pick/place speed will be reduced.

Trivia

 * The Auto Arm was shown off on many SES Dev Twitch streams.
