The block placer places blocks from its inventory onto the layer below the [machine frame](@oritech:machine_frame_block).

It can also be used to plant seeds in farmland or place saplings. The machine checks whether the position
is valid for the item before placing it.

That validity check makes it reliable for crop and tree automation, because invalid targets are skipped instead of wasting items.

If several placers share the same frame, they iterate over the same working area just like other gantry machines do.
