Is there a larger dust capsule?

The everyday capsule is 1 kg of dust, packed by hand or by the $100 Packager, and it rides a belt. The six-arm robot uses 20 kg capsules. I found no third size.

Where do capsules come from and go?

Hand packing uses Q when a container is full, according to the belt guide. The Packager sends the same 1 kg unit down its single output. Station intakes, machine inputs, and the Capsule Catcher are the consumers named across three pages. Value is just the dust inside, one dollar per kilogram on the resource row, until a chamber or a press multiplies it. A capsule is not a second currency.

People ask for a larger dust capsule, and the pages answer by pointing at the robot's 20 kg shot rather than a researched upgrade for the hand pack. I will not add a shop price for a bigger hand capsule. If yours vanished, the same guides mention capsules waiting at sand machines and capsules left on the floor. That is a placement problem, not a deleted item. Auto-load is a separate question with no toggle name printed, so I do not describe a button I cannot quote.

Cleaning up the floor

Loose capsules are still 1 kg each. A belt that faces the wrong way will leave them where the Packager dropped them. Pick them up or turn the arrow. The catcher is for the robot's heavier shots, not a vacuum for every pebble you dropped. I keep those jobs apart so a $1,500 catcher is not bought to solve a $40 belt turned backwards.
