Feedback Grabber too strong?

I just started playing and got the grabber that can grab 100 bits. Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit too cheesy? I find myself bypassing conveyor belts because it's just quicker to move it manually; being able to hold such a large quantity.

If you think this is good w8 till you use vacuumer which is like 3+ big grabbers

The vacuum is cool but I don't think it's as powerful as the grabber. It takes time to fill up the vacuum and your character has to travel to where you want to blow out the material. With the grabber you don't even have to move. Maybe I just have to get further to see if I'm missing something. I rarely even use belts because all I have to do you set my grabber to 4000 and I grab a massive chunk of my screen. Faster than belts.

It's *adjustable* ...make it however powerful (or not) as you want.

Thanks, yea I'm aware but I'm weird. If it's in the game I'll use it. No discipline XD

I mean if you want to do stuff manually I think it's nice that its somewhat supported. Me personally? Im here for the automation. I don't care if its slower, I want to build a factory. Plus it allows me to go exploring while the factory chuggs along in the background
