For hoiking, all you need is a Hammer (preferebly Iron), Actuators, Wires, Lever, and a mass amount of Solid Blocks.
1. Place the Solid Blocks wherever you need them. Preferably a super flat surface because this makes hoiking alot easier. No need for moving them upwards or in any other direction because you need a huge workspace for this.
2. Now if you want items coming to you, use the Hammer on the Block to make it a Sloped Triangle. The sloped side should face you.
3. Apply actuators to all solid block you placed for the Hoiking.
4. Attach them all to one single wire grid and place the Lever down where you want to.
5. Now, depending on how big an item is when it drops from an enemy, you are going to need to build another layer of Hoik Blocks.
Coins, gels, Hearts, Etc. - Size 1
Items that measure 2 blocks high - Size 2
Huge Weapons like Swords - Size 3
Each size requires another layer to a Max of 3
6. Put normal solid blocks on the top layer of the Hoiking Blocks and put normal solid blocks behind the layer.
