Auto Recycling

Auto-load recyclables into nearby recycling machines and collect the output as you walk by.

# Auto Recycling

Tired of stopping at every recycling machine to dump in trash and grab the
output? This mod does it for you. Just walk (or ride) past your recycling
machines and they'll automatically collect finished output into your inventory
and reload themselves from your recyclables.

## Features

- **Auto-collect** finished output from nearby recycling machines straight into
  your inventory.
- **Auto-load** recyclable items from your inventory into empty machines. Only
  valid recyclables are used — the game decides what counts, exactly like
  loading by hand.
- **Owner-aware (multiplayer-safe).** The mod only automates machines *you*
  placed. The owner is whoever **placed** the machine, not whoever last added an
  item — so other players dropping trash in your machine won't steal ownership,
  and you won't touch theirs.
- **Toggle key** (default **B**) flips automation on and off with an on-screen
  message, so you can freely pick up or rearrange machines.
- **Fully configurable** radius, scan rate, and behavior via `config.json`.

## Configuration

Edit `config.json` (created after the first run) or use Generic Mod Config Menu:

| Setting             | Default | Description                                           
| `ToggleKey`         | `B`     | Key to toggle automation on/off.                     | `AutoHarvest`       | `true`  | Collect finished output from nearby machines.         | `AutoInsert`        | `true`  | Load recyclables from your inventory into empty
machines.      
| `OnlyMyMachines`    | `true`  | Only automate machines you placed.
| `Radius`            | `3`     | How many tiles around you to scan.                
| `CheckIntervalTicks`| `5`     | How often to scan, in game ticks (60 = 1 second).  
| `PlaySounds`        | `true`  | Play a coin sound when output is collected.          

## Requirements

- SMAPI 4.0.0 or later.

## Notes

- Machines you place after installing the mod are tracked automatically.
- For machines placed before installing, ownership falls back to the game's
  owner field; if it doesn't recognize one as yours, just pick it up and
  re-place it.
