How do I link and use the Remote?
Link the Remote with F, then use the Remote to toggle supported tools such as fans and magnets.
Quick answer
Hold or aim the Remote at a supported tool and press F to link it. Clicking the Remote then toggles the linked tool. A developer reply confirms fans and magnets work, while product-making machines do not.
Steps
- Take the Remote to the fan, magnet or other switchable tool you want to control.
- Aim at that tool and press F to create the link.
- Move the Remote to the control point you want.
- Click the Remote to toggle the linked tool.
Requirements / limits
- The developer specifically confirms fans and magnets.
- The same developer reply says product machines are not supported by the Remote.
- An independent walkthrough shows one Remote toggling multiple fans, but the developer reply does not publish a maximum link count.
Common mistakes
- Clicking the Remote before using F to link a target.
- Trying to control a duck, register, pinata or anomaly machine.
- Assuming the Remote itself provides scheduling; timed activation belongs to the Duty Planner.
