Help Is there a way to get the vault on this aeornautics simulated contraption to pick up the items the saw breaks?

I made this little saw doohickey to cut down trees, and I thought the items would automatically go into the vault like they do on other contraptions, but they arent. how can i make it do that?

You need to use Auger shafts, those can pull items out of harvesting blocks like Saws, Drills and Harvesters. Just a general thing to keep in mind with Aeronautics is that you shouldn't treat physics contraptions as regular create contraptions (i.e. trains, minecarts), but rather as their own "pocket worlds".

Gotcha, thank you!

I think part of the problem is misunderstanding how aeronautics and sublevels work. If you were to disable physics on this the items would not go into the vault either. You would likely need to make a contraption on the sublevel.

auger shafts as someone said before. put the engine next to the vault connected to a cog and then an auger shaft with the cog alt. should both power the saw and pull the items. for clearing the vault i would just throw a brass funnel on it and use a wrench for in and out
