How does the Capsule Catcher work?

Can a belt connect to it?

Players ask whether a conveyor can serve the catcher. The robot page talks about throws, not about a required belt into the catcher. A separate comment says payment happens only when a belt reaches a station. Another comment says the catcher pays on the spot. Those are one source each. I put both in the table and I do not pick a winner. If your cash does not move, try the station belt before you buy a second catcher, and write down which story matched your screen.

Grouping is the part both robot pages do agree on. Catchers within 100 meters form a group. Capsules go to the emptiest catcher in the nearest group. When every catcher in that group is over 80 percent, the next group is used. That rule is why two catchers should not be placed 101 meters apart if you wanted them to share, and why a single full catcher stalls the robot.

Where I would drop the first one

Near the robot, inside the 100 meter bubble, with room for a belt if the station theory turns out to be the one your save follows. The Packager's 1 kg capsules are a different stream and already have their own belt advice. Mixing both streams on one saturated catcher is how the 80 percent rule starts sending shots across the map. I would rather see the robot's heavy capsules and the Packager's light ones on different paths until the pay rule is settled by a second public test.
