Hi,

Does the "area" on find_entities_filtered have to be a square or can I make it a circle?
I currently have:

items = collector.surface.find_entities_filtered({area = {{x = collector.position.x - artifactCollectorRadius, y = collector.position.y - artifactCollectorRadius}, {x = collector.position.x + artifactCollectorRadius, y = collector.position.y + artifactCollectorRadius}}, name = "item-on-ground"})

But would like to make the area just the circle radius of artifactCollectorRadius.

Is that possible?

Thanks.

No, Factorio has no concept of circles.

You'd need to get everything in the square and then check yourself if it's within a specific radius.
