Sourcing & Verification

Blueprint string reproduced byte-for-byte from community submission #168 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

Sand farm using new lava mechanic with Stratacore. Hook up liquid vents to factory water supply. Fill up tank at top with lava. And just add some lava or cinder to the top of the cycle for automated sand production. Credit to PicaPinguin for original design Compacted layout. Improved lava to cinder throughput. Added single lava tank to supply pyro dispensers. Added basic on/off switch to halt production. And general tweaks.

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.
