Items Red wants Inventory Management?

[Freedbot]

The only thing I can think of for actual inventory management is the modded minecraft method... pipes. There's pumps in the game, what about an item pump that does the same as "quick stack to nearby chests", but extracts from the storage they're attached to... like a connected void vault. Hoppers or Vacuum chests that can suck up nearby items also comes to mind as part of this. It's a rather obvious thing to plop at the end of a mechanical belt. You don't have to manage items in your inventory if they bypass your inventory in the first place.

I think the question just becomes: what stage of the game would these be most balanced to put in?
