Choosing Between the Standard and Advanced Demagnetizer
Demagnetize Mod provides two tiers of protection blocks: the standard Demagnetizer and the Advanced Demagnetizer. Picking the right one for each area of your base keeps your automation compact and avoids placing redundant blocks.
When to Use the Standard Demagnetizer
The standard Demagnetizer is best suited for single-block setups and simple, single-recipe stations:
- Compact footprint: Ideal when items are dropped onto a single block space, such as directly in front of one Atomic Reconstructor or inside a small glass chamber.
- Simple filtering: Works well when you either want to block all magnet activity in a tight spot or only need to filter a couple of specific items.
When to Upgrade to the Advanced Demagnetizer
Switch to the Advanced Demagnetizer when protecting larger rooms or multi-step processing lines:
- Larger range: Open its GUI range settings to cover wide farms, long water streams, or multiple machines spread across a room with a single block.
- Extra filter slots: Necessary when a workshop handles several different inputs and outputs on the ground at once and the standard block does not have enough filter slots to list every item.
