+- The owner: too many modes; chose an F menu with two pick-up states.
+- `src/ui/selection.js`: `openVacuumMenu()` (a tile per material with ⬇ Pick up / ⬆ Blow, plus
+ Pick up everything and Blow one at a time); `GAME.pickMode`, `setPickMode`, `cyclePickMode`,
+ `GAME.vacLocked` and the 'first' locking removed. Bag rows lose ⬇/⬆ buttons (a ⬇ tag shows
+ marks). `actions.js`: pick-up is everything unless marked; F with the vacuum opens the menu
+ when nothing in reach can be used. Card chips open the menu (`build-menu.js`). T and gamepad B
+ no longer change vacuum modes. Text in `notebook.js`, `progress.js`, `session.js` (Welcome),
+ `previews.js`; CSS `.vpick`.
+- `test/play.py`: mode checks replaced (no marks takes everything, marks, Shift, menu toggles,
+ F order, card chip, no bag buttons, menu screenshots at 1280 and 900); `test/t_basics.js` name.
+- Tests: `run_all.py --browser` all pass (208 `play.py` checks). Codex ran out of credits before
+ its final test run; Claude fixed one check (it mutated a mold's kind) and the suction line.

First steps
1. Drill down a little. Stone falls as rubble; coal (dark seams), copper ore (green speckles) and clay (reddish) come loose too.
- 2. With the Vacuum, click on coal to suck up only coal, then the copper ore, rubble and clay you want.
+ 2. With the Vacuum, left click to pick up loose materials. To take only coal, copper ore, rubble or clay, mark what you want in the vacuum menu (F).
3. Build (3) a chamber of stone wall blocks with a one-block vent in the roof, a floor of clay Grates, and an Ingot mold right under the grates. The notebook's Blueprints tab has this as a starter design.
- 4. Click coal in your bag, then mark copper ore with ⬆ to blow both. Fly inside (the bot passes through what you build) and right click to blow an even mix onto the grates: about 50 of each. (Ore first and coal on top works too; coal buried under ore will not light.) Light a coal grain on top with the Igniter.

(Ore first and coal on top works too; coal buried under ore will not light.) Light a coal grain on top with the Igniter.
5. When the ingot sets, bars drop out of the bottom of the mold onto whatever is under it. Leave one open block under it: a belt below that carries them off, or vacuum them up. Leftover metal stays for the next firing. Ingot molds empty themselves: bars, junk and scrap drop below, slag is thrown away and the grate above is raked. Removing any mold returns its set metal to your bag: whole bars as bars, the rest as scrap.
Screw tubes carry grains and whole bars: feed bars in from a belt, turn corners and unload at the mouth.
6. Blow the bars into the trade dock: they sell the moment they drop through its grate, and bars pay far more than ore. Watch the Market page for orders that pay double. Money buys belts, screw tubes and fans; pay down the claim there too.
