Factory system · Gold loop
The official Processing Plant page has no published mechanics. This page uses the confirmed individual machines to define the reliable early production system players mean by the term.
Working route
Bring Sand and Water together to create Wet Sand.
Use Shakers to create a Gold route below and a Residue route above.
Choose a manual Flamethrower or a contained Lava Filter route, keeping the burn area separate from raw inputs.
Burnt Residue must fall 25 blocks before a Kinetic Press will process it.
Use angled Launchers to clear material that stops on a Press without interrupting falling pixels.
Questions answered
The official page currently has no published detail. Here it describes the practical factory system made from confirmed individual machines.
Sand plus Water becomes Wet Sand, then a Shaker produces Gold and Residue; the Residue can be refined through the Burnt Residue and Kinetic Press route.
