I thought molten metal wasn't effected by ferromagnetism. Since at those temperatures you can't align the atoms enough to create a magnetic field. Never mind, paramagnetism works on molten metals.

All you do with the scoop idea is that the magnet will grab every metallic thing. You have no way of separating the useful bits from the ones you don't.

Yeah, then it dumps it in a bin, and hauls it back for us to sort through. I was talking about for the harvester.

Here. So turns out I don't need a magnet for it to work, but at the same time I think it would work better with a magnet alongside.
 
Yeah, how about we hold onto the magnet for a while, just so if we need it for something we don't have to take a vital piece of equipment apart. also, why not use the alumina printer as part of the forge, or are you already doing that?

The magnet is not a crucially important part of the thing. Its used to make the thing more efficient. The smelter/forge/thing can work with or without it. You could take the magnet out by picking it up and the whole thing will still work. Not as well, but still work.

The printer takes a certain kind of feed which we cannot find a stable and significant amount of, as such we aren't using it. Unless we can modify it to take something else that we have more of, I can't see a way for it to work dependably.

Ok Fair, you do you, I won't use the electromagnet for anything. As for the printer, in this case we have two options, reconfigure it to use something more common, or (the better option in my opinion) we could use it to make molds for parts, then melt the molds down when we don't need them anymore to reuse the feed.
(Just in case, This is my action)
[x] Build a Vehicle (will require Components)
-[x] it is a flat platform on treads, with a small power source strapped to it along with a crude set of controls. it also has some rails added to make cargo stay on.
--[x] Components? Bulldozer Tracks, Fusion-Catalyzed Nuclear Generator.

Sorry this took so long; IRL was nuts for a bit, and then I just wanted to crash as soon as the pressure let up. Real tally coming in a few minutes.

    • ...That is a LOT of components. I should probably inform you that Components found underground have a -2 penalty to component condition, but on the other hand the scrap mines are basically immune to attack.

    All in the wrist I say. Our salvagers obviously know the same trick.

    • Well, looks like the scouting mission went brilliantly... Though this may have something to do with how the guards had a hard time from the looks of that dice roll.
     
    I do believe I desire to be involved in this. Boop.

    Manufacturer, Model Name, Serial Number: Lis Combat Technologies, Disposable Infantry Substitute Variant Three, #03-948

    Function: The V-3 model of D.I.S. (Disposable Infantry Substitute) was made to serve the roll of "combat medic". As such it
    it was designed with the intent to be fully capable of repairing and maintaining both organic soldiers and D.I.S., although
    the V-3 model could be used in any roll theoretically, it was not recommended.

    Physical Description: All D.I.S. models look like a seven foot tall muscular broad shouldered human male if you skinned him and
    painted everything matte black then fused a gas-mask with opaque lens to his face and followed that by liberally welding armored
    plates to his torso and limbs. Variant Threes are identified by the white cross painted on the right pauldron.

    Personal Identifier: #03-948, It.

    Skills: Combat 1, Construction 1, Salvage 1.

    Hardware: Ballistics Computer, missing is not encouraged +10 Combat.
    Diagnostics suit, first find the problem then fix +5 Construction.
