# Radius Settings
|
|
|
|
Radius settings control how far an RS-ItemMagnet can detect and collect dropped items.
|

# What Is Radius?
|
|
|
|
The collection radius determines the area around the ItemMagnet where dropped items can be detected.
|
|
|
|
Items outside the configured radius will be ignored.

# Increasing Radius
|
|
|
|
Larger radii allow the machine to collect items from a wider area.
|
|
|
|
Benefits:
|
|
|
|
* Larger collection area
|
|
* Fewer machines required
|
|
* Better coverage for large farms
|
|
|
|
Considerations:
|
|
|
|
* More items may be scanned
|
|
* Larger collection zones may overlap
|
|

# Decreasing Radius
|
|
|
|
Smaller radii restrict collection to nearby items.
|
|
|
|
Benefits:
|
|
|
|
* More precise collection
|
|
* Better separation between machines
|
|
* Easier farm specialization

# Choosing the Right Radius
|
|
|
|
Small Farms:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Small Radius
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Large Farms:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Medium to Large Radius
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Industrial Automation Systems:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Use the smallest radius necessary
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to maintain predictable item routing.

# Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If items are not being collected:
|
|
|
|
* Verify the item is inside the configured radius
|
|
* Verify filters allow the item
|
|
* Verify the target container has available space
|
