Sourcing & Verification

Blueprint string reproduced byte-for-byte from community submission #84 on sandustryvault.com and published verbatim. We have not re-tested it in our own save. Footprint, power draw and throughput are not published by the source, so we do not state them.

Design Intent & Problem Solved

"A compact and highly efficient sand processing plant. It's only 13x29 in size, yet it packs 15 shakers. Sand is fed in from the top, with gold dropping from the bottom and Florinol exiting at the bottom right. Despite a few minor flaws, I'm really proud of this build. It's stackable, though you'll need to place a small amount of lava in a few specific spots."

Safe Placement & Cold-Start Checklist

  1. Place the module in open space with 2-block perimeter clearance before connecting production lines.
  2. Confirm research prerequisites, conveyor speed match, and liquid drop-pipe heights.
  3. Leave an inspection gap so any blocked Shaker or mineral slurry overflow can be drained safely.
  4. Verify power grid capacity satisfies the initial startup spike before feeding raw ore.
