Magnet

A simple magnet to help separate metals.

Notes

The Magnet is a crafted item used as a physical catalyst in separation and filtration processes, playing a role specifically in the production of the Electro Static Filter. As a small, stackable good with no category, it fits into the industrial supply chain where you need to separate metals from mixed materials. If you are setting up recycling infrastructure and need Electro Static Filters, make sure the town has a steady supply of Magnets available in stores to keep production moving.
