Vacuum: pick up what you click, blow out what's in hand (t20)

Browse Source 
A drag takes only the material it starts on (Shift: everything). The blow
selection is the hand: click or Q/E for one material, Ctrl+click for a mix.
Empty materials leave the hand, an empty hand blows nothing, and a pickup
fills an empty hand. Removes the pick-up marks and the F vacuum menu.

## The core loop

2. Vacuum up what you want (mark materials in the vacuum menu, F, to take only those), and blow it out where you need it.

3. Build a furnace from wall blocks, with a grate floor over a mold. Charge it with ore and coal,
light it, and let the molten metal run into the mold.
4. Bars drop out of the bottom of the mold; collect them and sell them at the trade dock, or fill buyers' orders, which pay more.

- **Pick up what you click, blow out what's in hand (t20, 2026-10-24).** Replaces t16's pick-up
marks and the vacuum menu; the owner wanted something simpler and more intuitive. A left drag
takes only the material it starts on (or the first loose grain it reaches); Shift takes
everything. The hand is the blow selection: click a bag name or Q/E for one material, Ctrl+click
for a mix, Shift + right click for everything loose. When something in hand runs out it leaves
the hand (this settles the old t18 question), and an empty hand blows nothing and says so.
Picking something up fills an empty hand, never a chosen one. One tool, no menu; R and F do
nothing special with the Vacuum. The owner mostly uses it to collect ore and fuel and feed furnaces.
