"A large yet compact sand processing plant (33x48) featuring 80 shakers, designed to generate 1 million gold.

Sourcing & Verification

Blueprint string reproduced byte-for-byte from community submission #111 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 large yet compact sand processing plant (33x48) featuring 80 shakers, designed to generate 1 million gold. Sand enters from the top-left, with gold and Florinol outputting from the bottom. Extensive filtering is used to ensure a complete separation of elements, and it has run flawlessly during testing. The design is stackable, though you'll need to place small amounts of lava in several 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.
