Sand Farm (Stratacore and Lava)

Add lava in the top for the thermal buffer and add lava in front of the pyro dispenser.

Design Intent & Problem Solved

Add lava in the top for the thermal buffer and add lava in front of the pyro dispenser. The lave will fall down will gather above the dors. If the green sensor is full with lava, the doors will open until the pink sensor is empty (i added two if one is stuck and does not send a green signal). The lave then buns the stratacore for sand and will convert to cinder at the bottom. The cinder gets transported back to the top and the pyro dispenser melts the cinder to lava again. Add some digger drones pointing to the center of the stratacore for more sand mining. Refill the lava basin for the thermal buffers from time to time.

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.
