Project P.I.T.T. Tractor Beam Not Working: Diagnostic Checklist
Tractor Beam Not Working: Diagnostic Checklist: A late-game recovery design lacks a reliable pickup path? Observe one intended interaction and its endpoint.
A late-game recovery design lacks a reliable pickup path? Observe one intended interaction and its endpoint. Without a measured range and release model, a ranking of all three tools would be speculative. These are diagnostics, not a guaranteed fix.
Separate the symptom from the assumed cause
A late-game recovery design lacks a reliable pickup path. Treat Tractor Beam as a community-reported candidate, not a proven replacement for every Magnet or Vacuum layout. First define whether the problem is capture, direction or release.

Make the failure reproducible
Observe one intended interaction and its endpoint. Without a measured range and release model, a ranking of all three tools would be speculative.

Patch and evidence boundary
Older full-release Steam player evidence names Tractor Beams as a late-game accuracy candidate. Exact pull behavior is not promoted from the community record. If the failure persists, retain a before-and-after capture rather than asserting a missing level, an undocumented key or a numerical setting.
