Where's the Needle?

You wake up locked in a warehouse with an open roof. In front of you stands a mountain of hay: millions of strands, and somewhere inside, six buried needles. All you have are your hands. So you start. ONE STRAND AT A TIME Pick hay strand by strand and toss it into the HAY IN intake at the SELL HAY stand. Every strand earns you cents. Cents become dollars, and dollars unlock tool licenses and machine plans in Yard Research. Then buy your gear at Supply Co. BUILD YOUR OWN HAY FACTORY Place every machine wherever you like: conveyor belts, a Dump Hatch, a Steam Rake that needs no power, robot arms in three sizes, Hay Generators wired up with power poles, a Hay Compressor that presses bales, and a Splitter that divides a belt in two. Each extra copy of a machine costs more, so plan your layout. LET THE SCANNER HUNT Mount a scanner arch over a belt. It holds the passing hay, checks it, and sounds a siren when it spots a needle. Careful: sell a needle with the hay or burn it in a generator, and it slips back into the pile. SIX NEEDLES A sewing needle, a desk pin, a safety pin, a bent pin, a hat pin and a darning needle. Each is buried at a different depth, and the deepest hide in the heart of the pile. Every needle you recover goes into your wooden Needle Cabinet until all six slots are full.
