Vee's Remote

Vee's Remote skips the slowest part of a floor: it instantly completes the first Machine you extract from, once per floor, but only while fewer than 50% of the floor's Machines are done. In practice that means every floor starts with a free Machine. Since a Machine takes 30 seconds at 5 stars of Extraction Speed and 60 at 1 star, one activation saves between 30 and 60 seconds of passive work, which is most valuable for Pebble, Razzle & Dazzle and Shrimpo, the 1-star extractors.

The wiki calls it a near-direct upgrade of Wrench, which adds only a large chunk of progress rather than all of it, and the comparison is fair. The condition rarely bites: the lowest Machine count on a regular floor is 2, so the first one always qualifies. On Dyle's Floor, with 25 Machines, the single free completion is a smaller share of the job.

You earn it with 100% Research on Twisted Vee, a Main Twisted. Mains start at spawn weight 0, are forced once every 20 floors and gain 4 weight per 5 floors from floor 5, so plan for a longer grind than for most. There is no Ichor price. It is available now.
