Description
Simple Machine is currently an item counter implementing custom grab logic with blueprint code.
- Not really a common use case
- Bad for performance (should do in C++ instead)
- Current example has crashing problems that are probably threading related
- Hologram is broken for it
A custom manufacturer tutorial might be longer but would cover more meaningful topics

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named; start by locating the existing Simple Machine documentation and its blueprint example. Replace that example with a custom manufacturer guide, covering the more meaningful topics requested and ensuring the guide does not depend on the crashing or broken Hologram behavior described in the issue.
