Hi folks. I noticed looting has become much much slower and the looting radius got smaller since the release of 1.2.
I feel that it’s significantly slowed down my game play. I now need to keep going back to stops where I cut down kelp or garbage, etc. because zooming around while using scythe isn’t possible anymore because of this change.
Not sure if this is a bug or of it’s intended but…yeah. Help please. It’s been frustrating.

Just adding that I'm also wondering about this. Really hard to adjust to, would love an option to toggle that back.

Just letting you know in case you didn't see it in the feedback thread or one of the bug report threads, but apparently the smaller magnet radius was intentional for multiplayer so players didn't accidentally suck up each others' items.
I'm definitely not a fan of it. It's making my mining and diving runs much more frustrating... I get why it's helpful for multiplayer, but i don't think single player needs it, especially since it makes everything so much slower and clunkier. I really hope they revert this back to the way it was or a toggle button, especially for single player mode.

This makes so much sense. It's definitely something that should've stayed separate for single player, or even able to be toggled. The right intention was there, but the execution was far less than ideal.

It annoys me to. I equiped the Forager Ring to increase the radius again.

It's very frustrating to have it in single player mode 🙁

I really hope the devs address it but no one has yet (unless I missed it somewhere). It's a little too early to tell if this is going to kill my enjoyment of the game, but it's definitely frustrating. According to some others, it seems the auto-SFH is also being affected because of the decreased magnetism and not pulling all the crops that they should be. I started a fresh save for the 1.2 update so I had no idea about this either. Here's the dev talking about the change in case anyone's interested: #1405631451671695371 message

Does the forager ring help? I started a fresh save for 1.2 so I'm still too early to have it yet

Yes it does increase your collecting radius
