An efficient vertical sand processing plant

An efficient vertical sand processing plant, sized 12×68.

Sourcing & Verification

Blueprint string reproduced byte-for-byte from community submission #147 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

An efficient vertical sand processing plant, sized 12×68. One of the variants of the previous plant. Shakers are placed more densely, at the cost of increased width. Stackable. Some areas require lava placement.

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.
