Auto-Sweeper

Overview

The Auto-Sweeper is a building whose operational range can be checked at any time by clicking on the building. This makes it easy to confirm exactly which tiles fall within its pickup area before or after placement, so players can plan layouts without needing to guess the footprint.

Because its range is visible directly from the structure, the Auto-Sweeper is convenient to use in compact industrial rooms, storage areas, and other setups where precise placement matters. If a delivery line, storage pile, or machine sits just outside the area, the range display lets you adjust the building position immediately rather than discovering the mistake later. The range view is also useful when comparing several possible placements, since it removes ambiguity about coverage.

In practice, the Auto-Sweeper is best treated as a placement-sensitive automation tool:

  • Click the building at any time to view its range.
  • Use the displayed area to verify coverage before finalizing a room layout.
  • Recheck the range after moving nearby equipment, since a small offset can change which tiles are included.
  • When organizing dense builds, the visible radius helps avoid wasted space and awkward dead zones.

Since its range can be inspected whenever needed, the Auto-Sweeper is straightforward to integrate into production rooms and storage systems. Its value lies not only in what it does, but in how clearly it communicates its coverage to the player, making it easier to design efficient layouts from the start.
