Quick Answer

Upgrade your vacuum to increase suction range, carry more bodies, and shoot objects further. You can collect bodies in batches, then empty them into the crusher. A separate upgrade doubles your vacuum storage capacity.

What does each vacuum upgrade do?

You can improve collection range, storage capacity, and the distance you shoot objects.

Upgrade effectWhat it changes
Shoot objects furtherYou can launch objects farther with the vacuum.
Increase the suction rangeYou can collect bodies from farther away.
Increase the storage capacityYou can carry more bodies in one batch.
Double your vacuum storage capacityYou double the amount your vacuum can hold.

Match the effect to the part slowing you down. Choose suction range when you need to reach bodies farther away. Choose storage capacity when you need to carry a larger batch. Choose shooting distance when you need to send objects farther.

For the wider progression choices, use the Can 'Em All upgrades overview.

How do you use the vacuum to feed the crusher?

You collect bodies in batches, then empty the vacuum into the crusher.

Buy the vacuum

Buy the vacuum so you can collect bodies together for processing.

Collect a batch

Use the vacuum to gather bodies into its storage. Your storage capacity determines how much you can carry at once.

Empty it into the crusher

Dump the collected bodies into the processor. The Can 'Em All crusher guide covers the machine receiving your batch.

If collection feels slow, distinguish reaching bodies from carrying them. Suction range changes your reach; storage capacity changes your batch size.

Does the vacuum hold 20 bodies?

Yes, your vacuum can have a capacity of 20, but that is one capacity state.

20 isn't the limit: a separate upgrade doubles your storage.

Choose upgrades by what's slowing you down.

What should you upgrade after the vacuum?

You can also get stronger weapons, unlock machines, build conveyors, and work toward automating your factory.

Choose your next improvement around the work still slowing you down. Use the weapon upgrades guide when you want stronger weapons. Move to factory conveyors when you want to explore the factory's transport equipment.
