Description:

Tired of waiting forever for duplicants to finally clean up?

This mod turns your cursor into a powerful magnet. Forget endless "Sweep" commands — just hold a button, and resources will fly (or fly away) to where they need to be.

Features

Total Gravity Control:
Pull items towards the cursor or repel them away. Perfect for quick sorting or clearing an area.

Physics Modes:
You choose how items behave:

  • Linear: Simple and clear straight-line flight.
  • Smooth: Gentle deceleration near the cursor (less overshooting).
  • Vortex: Items swirl in a spectacular vortex around the attraction point.

Visualization:
Action zone highlighting: cyan light when pulling, orange when repelling.

Chaos Mode:
A fun option: adds random jitter to flying items.

Usage

  • Hover your cursor over a pile of debris or resources at the bottom of a water tank.
  • Hold Q (configurable) to pull items.
  • Hold Ctrl + Q to forcefully repel them.

Tip: Great for retrieving resources from the bottom of deep liquid tanks without sending duplicants to get wet.

Settings

You can change behavior in the mod menu (Mods -> Options):

  • Activation Key: Choose a convenient key (Default is Q).
  • Radius: From point impact (1 cell) to a huge field (32 cells).
  • Speed: Adjust the attraction force.
  • Magnet Style: Linear, Smooth, or Vortex.
  • Hide Info Card: Hides item tooltips while the magnet is active to keep the view clear.
  • Light: On/Off light under the cursor.

Warning

At very high pulling speeds or in tight spaces, items may accidentally "clip" into solid tiles. Usually, they can be pulled back out with the magnet or simply dug out.
