Possible bug: magpie crates

Anyone else seen this? I’m playing on the Switch. Every time I put a crate in the tester, it flies toward whichever polarity and slams against the side. It goes to north if I’m testing north and south if I’m testing south.

I tried the tester in the basement, all the crates did this. I tried another run with the tester as the only machine upstairs in the shop addition, same thing. Every crate slams against the side that I’m testing, every time.

Help?

according to the manual, the crates themselves are magnetic both ways, regardless of content. try blasting it at half power at either polarity. the one that moves more is the polarity of the object, if they're the same it's neutral. you could always unbox it to get a hang of it, just be careful with light objects; max power magnetism is a good way to get a concussion from flying debris!

K this is the magnetizer they give you at the rocket shop, there’s no power adjustment, just a switch. Can I take crates off a magpie ship, unbox them in a blank shop spot, and test whatever’s inside?

Edit: nope, no way to unbox these. Also I set the magnetizer up on the ground floor not near any walls and it still happens. I think I’m just going to have to randomly label boxes and hope, because this is totally broken.

hit the button before it's done charging, same difference.

Still does it, even with the little s-curve indicator at like a quarter, which is as fast as I can get to the green button from the switch.

It’s bugged.
