Project P.I.T.T. Fan vs Magnet
Fan vs Magnet: Directional transport and holding a group are not interchangeable goals.
Directional transport and holding a group are not interchangeable goals. Player Mag Rail attempts illustrate the risk of assuming capture produces a reliable moving lane.
When to investigate Fan
Evaluate a fan-guided path when the problem is reaching the next destination.
Choose by the observed task, not a tool name that merely sounds stronger. Retain the source scope when applying this comparison.

Officially named physics tool; use its published status as a routing concept, not a rate claim.
Build relevance: Official store names the tool
Limit: Exact release-build behavior needs in-game verification.
OFFICIAL CURRENT · checked 2026-09-26
Officially named production-line tool.
Build relevance: Official store names the tool
Limit: Do not infer range, strength, or timing from marketing copy.
SINGLE COMMUNITY REPORT · checked 2026-09-26
Players discuss magnets stalling transport, an experimental remote-controlled rail, and tradeoffs with fan-driven lanes.
Build relevance: Thread checked September 26
Limit: Not proof of a guaranteed design or universal physical law.

When to investigate Magnet
Evaluate capture and deliberate release separately when considering a Magnet for a grouped feed.
Keep the input and destination constant when comparing the alternative; a different product or target makes the result a different test.

| Option | Use case | Not established |
|---|---|---|
| Fan | Evaluate a fan-guided path when the problem is reaching the next destination. | Universal optimum / exact throughput |
| Magnet | Evaluate capture and deliberate release separately when considering a Magnet for a grouped feed. | Universal optimum / exact throughput |
