A large vertical sand processing plant, measuring 19×65, containing 80 shakers — designed for symmetry and aesthetics.

Sourcing & Verification

Design Intent & Problem Solved

A large vertical sand processing plant, measuring 19×65, containing 80 shakers — designed for symmetry and aesthetics. Sand enters from the top, gold cascades down the shaft, and Florinal is retained at the bottom. Stackable. A small amount of lava is needed in many places (preferably no more than 4 pixels).

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.
