What makes the Hauler different?
The launch guide describes a reelable magnet for collecting heavy scrap and separate inventory slots for manually placing found items and artifacts. This separates bulk retrieval from the Utility Wasp camp role. When an expedition is about bringing a large find home, consider whether the problem is transport rather than lack of an extractor, crafting recipe or additional personal storage.

What should you check before a salvage run?
Identify where the salvage needs to go and which processing facility will use it. Check fuel and damaged components before loading up, then leave a recognizable route back to the working base. These are recommended logistical checks, not verified weight calculations. The official material does not establish a universal maximum load or a safe fuel distance for every configuration.
Does Cargo Wasp mean another vehicle?
The older general website uses Cargo for the heavy-transport role, while the October launch guide uses Hauler. Follow the current naming in the game when searching your inventory or progression tasks. A legacy label should not be turned into a second unlock guide unless the developer confirms it is a distinct vehicle in the current version.
What is not established by the public guide?
The launch sources do not provide a complete magnet-control chart, object-by-object lifting list or exact unlock coordinates. Follow the current interaction prompts when attaching and returning salvage. If a particular object cannot be recovered, record the object, vehicle configuration and build before assuming every heavy item in the scenery is intended to be carried.
