**Retrieval Nodes** are like the opposite of [Transfer Nodes](@excessive_utilities:transfer_nodes); instead of pushing, it pulls.

It searches along [Transfer Pipes](@excessive_utilities:transfer_pipe), and then brings whatever it finds to its buffer, before pushing from its buffer into the block it's placed on.

## Upgrades

An [Item Filter](@excessive_utilities:item_filter) or [Fluid Filter](@excessive_utilities:fluid_filter) can be installed into the respective Retrieval Nodes to limit what is allowed to enter their buffers.

[Speed Upgrades](@excessive_utilities:speed_upgrades) will increase the amount of times Retrieval Nodes do work each tick.

[Stack Upgrades](@excessive_utilities:stack_upgrade) increase the amount inserted into the buffer.
