Sourcing & Verification

Design Intent & Problem Solved

More info on the official reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SandustryGame/s/ltzyJPGDjk ------------------------------ A small footprint, full production chain factory. Takes in dry sand either via manual mining or from stratacore farming, dumps gold out the bottom, and outputs auralite. Also includes a small section for void juice refilling. Doesn't have the fastest throughput, but is very satisfying. Measures 51 x 31 without the aura extractor. Uses advanced filters and the exploitation of approximately a dozen lumlings. ------------------------------ SEED WASHER DESIGN CREDIT: Multirious - https://sandustryvault.com/sandprints/83

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.
