The Meat Box is a location in NieR:Automata, available for access during the second half of the game. It is the first of three Resource Recovery Units the machine network sends 9S to, just so he could enter the Tower.
Location
The Meat Box appears in Route C next to the bridge connecting the Forest Zone to the Forest Castle. Only once the player gains control of 9S will the structure lower just enough for him to jump up to its door.

Notes
- The structure is noted to generate a lot of steam, slightly obscuring the surrounding area.
- Some groups of Forest Kingdom Machines are shown to inhabit the unit despite being cut off from the network. Why this happens is never explained.
Trivia
- The letters above the door correspond with their English counterparts save for the letter X, as no equivalent exists in Angelic; its name is rendered hence as "Meat Bos" instead.
- Of the three Resource Recovery Units, the Meat Box is the only one with five floors required to ascend.
