Potato Magnet

#Overview

Potato Magnet widens the range at which Tibo pulls in pickups. The base pickup range is 40 units, and each level adds 25%: 50 units at level 1 and 90 units at level 5. XP gems, gold and snacks inside the range fly to Tibo on their own.

It is the catalyst for Gravy Flood (from Gravy Boat) and Gem Catapult (from Gem Sling).

#How it works

Pickup range is 40 × max(0.2, 1 + pickup range bonus) (see Stats). Once a pickup enters the range it is marked and flies toward Tibo at 300 units per second, even if he moves away again.^[1] Chests and items are never pulled; Tibo has to walk onto them (see Pickups).

Pickup range also sets how close Tibo must be to harvest a Seed Potato or Potato Patch plant: 24 units plus a quarter of the range above 40, up to 34.^[2] That is 26.5 units at Potato Magnet level 1 and the full 34 from level 4.

Other sources are Copper Spoon (+0.1), the aura of the dog Biscuit and Spud Shrine blessings.

#Tips

• Gem Sling and Gem Catapult fire a wedge for each XP gem Tibo picks up, so a wider pickup range keeps them firing while Tibo stays away from the crowd.
• A larger range lets Tibo collect XP without walking into pests to reach it. It pairs naturally with Fertilizer.

#Levels

Totals are added to Tibo's stat sum. How each stat turns into a multiplier (caps and diminishing returns) is on Stats.
