The golem shows its current job on a floating nameplate, so you can always see who's doing what at a glance. ## Courier Hauls items from one container to another. **Tap the pickup, tap the drop-off** — the golem ferries stacks between them until the source runs dry. The workhorse of any base: feed a smelter array, move loot from a collection chest to storage, or shuttle goods between rooms. ## Stoker Feeds furnaces — **fuel to the fuel slot, ore to the input**. Point a Stoker at a smelter (or a row of them via a shared pickup chest) and it keeps them burning and loaded. ## Restocker Keeps a container **topped up to a set amount**. Set a threshold (default 64) and the Restocker tops the target back up from its pickup whenever it dips below the line — perfect for keeping a dispenser, a shop chest, or a supply barrel stocked. ## Janitor **Vacuums up dropped items** nearby and banks them in its drop-off. Pair it with a Farmhand (which drops produce) or park one under a mob farm or a tree-chopping spot to keep the floor clean. ## Sorter **Splits items across containers by what each already holds.** Items flow to the container that already has that type — drop a Sorter on a wall of labeled chests and it files everything where it belongs. ## Farmhand **Harvests and replants crops** in a small radius. It tends the nearest mature crop, drops the produce (let a Janitor collect it), and replants — a tidy "Farmhand drops, Janitor collects" crew when you run them together. *** ## Tips * **Run crews.** Jobs are designed to combine — Farmhand + Janitor, or a Courier feeding a row of Stokers. * **One stack at a time.** Golems carry like they look — deliberate and vanilla. Add more golems for more throughput. * **They rest when you're away.** Golems only work with a player nearby, so idle crews cost nothing.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://machina-1.gitbook.io/machina-docs/workorders/jobs.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
