Project P.I.T.T. Phase 3 — Automation
Phase 3 — Automation: For the reported Phase 3 workflow, first prove the Piñata handoff manually, then isolate the one interaction you want to automate.
For the reported Phase 3 workflow, first prove the Piñata handoff manually, then isolate the one interaction you want to automate. First decide whether this route needs an intact Piñata at a later assembly station. That is a different goal from allowing a break near the Maw, and the catch must be evaluated against the chosen goal.
Recognize the progression state
Steam names Piñata as an unlock, and Update 1.0.7 includes Piñata reliability fixes.
The phase numbering comes from a first-hand older guide, not a published current unlock table. Use the product and current visible objective to identify your situation.

An older first-hand guide describes the sequence Duck, Cash Register, Piñata, Anomaly and illustrates their production lines.
Build relevance: Older full-release community observation; no independent 1.0.8 replay
Limit: No universal unlock quantities, optimal layouts or throughput are adopted.

Stabilize the product handoff
First decide whether this route needs an intact Piñata at a later assembly station. That is a different goal from allowing a break near the Maw, and the catch must be evaluated against the chosen goal.

Keep progression and transport problems separate
The transported Piñata breaks before it reaches the intended destination.
Watch the first damaging contact rather than counting only the final feed. Protect the receiving area and reduce uncontrolled collisions as an experiment; no breakage probability or payout advantage is verified.

Before leaving this stage
Older player evidence puts Anomaly after Piñata; no exact transition quota is verified here. Follow the visible terminal/objective rather than crate-derived assumptions.

Do not rebuild around a removed scripted event
The August 20 official fix removed the Phase 3 event that damaged factories. Old guides that describe unavoidable scripted destruction should not be presented as the current requirement.

Evidence and verification limits
Source retrieval confirms what a source says, not a new in-game replay. Patch notes retain their version; community observations retain their limitations.

Older full-release player evidence places Piñata production after the Cash Register phase.
Build relevance: Older full-release community observation; no independent 1.0.8 replay
Limit: Steam officially names the unlock and Update 1.0.7 fixes pinata issues; exact thresholds, value, mass and interval remain unfilled.

SINGLE COMMUNITY REPORT · checked 2026-09-26
An older player guide reports Piñata transport breakage and uses contained routes; 1.0.7 separately addresses Piñata and Cushion reliability.
Build relevance: Older full-release community observation; no independent 1.0.8 replay
Limit: The patch does not validate that player's numerical losses or payout comparison.
