DIRECT ANSWER / FIELD-READY
Use the Grinder for understood, expendable objects; protect glowing or unusual finds until their progression purpose is clear. Glowy orbs are a separate resource — do not feed them to the Grinder or the ball machine.

FIELD NOTE / 01
Three-way loot triage
Classify each object as carry, process or leave. The recorded rule is that glowy orbs are a separate resource — keep them out of both the Grinder and the ball machine. This keeps the crew from spending dangerous minutes moving low-value clutter while a meaningful artifact is still unsecured.
FIELD NOTE / 02
A safer processing rhythm
Stage objects away from the machine, process in short batches and stop when the route is threatened. The Grinder is an economy tool, not a reason to ignore extraction timing.
