What the Wiki
currently says.
The Synthesizer is an essential advanced production building in Sandustry used to fabricate critical mid-to-late game compounds and crystals, primarily converting liquid Florinol into solid Aurixite.
By routing Florinol directly into the Synthesizer's intake, the machine catalyzes the fluid into Aurixite crystals. Aurixite serves as the foundational precursor required for Tier 5 progression research, advanced tech tree unlocks, and the 1,000 Auralite quota needed to construct the Aura Extractor.
Power Management & Surge Warning: Synthesizers consume intense bursts of electrical energy during active conversion cycles. Running unbuffered Synthesizers directly on basic Steam Turbines will often trip circuit breakers and stall connected factories. It is strongly recommended to buffer your power grid with 16-cell Florinol Batteries or dedicated sub-grid generators.
Integration Workflow: For optimal throughput, pair the Synthesizer with an upstream Dried Amethelis → Florin Gas → Condenser loop to sustain a steady Florinol liquid supply, and connect the solid Aurixite output directly to an automated conveyor or storage depot.

Synthesizer Recipe, Ratios & Grid Surge Guide
The Synthesizer is the core bottleneck machine for transitioning from mid-game Florinol chemistry into endgame Aurixite and Aura progression. Running it efficiently requires mastering continuous liquid intake, handling acute electrical surges, and preventing downstream conveyor blockages.
⚡ Quick Answer: What the Synthesizer Does & How to Power It
The Synthesizer converts piped liquid Florinol into solid Aurixite crystals, the essential precursor required for Tier 5 research and the 1,000 Auralite needed to construct the Aura Extractor. Because the reaction draws sudden 60 kW power spikes, running unbuffered generators will cause grid blackouts. Always isolate the Synthesizer with 16-cell Florinol or Copper Battery buffers.
| Parameter | Specification | Factory Optimization Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Fluid Input | Liquid Florinol (10 L/cycle) | Direct pipe intake from Condenser loop; prevent uninsulated boiling. |
| Solid Output | 1x Solid Aurixite Crystal | Convey directly to storage chests or downstream Auralite refiners. |
| Reaction Cycle | 2.5 Seconds / Output | Requires continuous uninterrupted liquid pressure. |
| Power Spike | 60 kW Peak (10 kW Idle) | Always isolate with at least one 16-cell Florinol Battery buffer. |
⚠️ Electrical Surge Defense Protocol
Because Synthesizers draw sudden 60 kW spikes during the synthesis reaction, connecting them directly to unbuffered Steam Turbines will collapse factory voltage and stall water pumps. Wire two 16-cell Florinol Batteries in parallel on the local line to absorb the impulse shock.
