  lands on them and drop it below, so a wider row is a wider, faster hopper. The Refiner and Stone
  cutter leave the build menu; built ones in old saves keep working. The owner wanted hoppers of
  any width.
+  As built: a block is solid and works the grains resting on its top edge; results drop out of
+  its bottom, and it stops when that space is full. Same speed and price per width as the old
+  machines (Grinder 0.25 grains/tick, $60; Saw 0.5, $90). In a vertical stack only the top block
+  takes input and the result passes down through the rest, so a Saw on a Grinder cuts stone and
+  grinds everything else. Partial brick counts are not saved.
 - **The bag is the vacuum's control panel (t6).** Each bag row has separate pick-up and blow
  marks; a chip on the tool card sets pick-up to everything, only marked, or the same as the
  first click; R over a grain toggles its pick-up mark. The owner found the shared ticks confusing.
