as the design.

  1. 01 · Find the first trace

    Fluxite occurs naturally underground in small quantities and can be dug.

  2. 02 · Make Voidbloom

    The official recipe is Void Petals plus Redsand to make Voidbloom.

  3. 03 · Feed from above

    Voidbloom must be dropped onto the top of the Flux Emanator.

  4. 04 · Reserve the chamber

    Each Voidbloom becomes Fluxite, which expands in a growing bloom while it has space.

Official Voidbloom asset
Official Voidbloom asset. One Voidbloom becomes one Fluxite when supplied to a Flux Emanator from above.

What is Flux in Sandustry?

The official material is Fluxite, used to upgrade tools, weapons, and drones.

How do I make Fluxite?

Create Voidbloom from Void Petals and Redsand, then drop it on top of a Flux Emanator. One Voidbloom converts to one Fluxite.

Why does my Fluxite production stop?

The official route needs both continuous Voidbloom supply and free space for the growing bloom.

What is Red Sand (Redsand) in Sandustry?

Redsand is a terrain material that appears in underground layers. Its primary factory use is as one of the two ingredients in the Voidbloom recipe (Void Petals + Redsand = Voidbloom), which is then fed into a Flux Emanator to produce Fluxite. As of Update #3, uncontained Lava destroys Redsoil terrain on direct contact — note that Redsoil and Redsand share the same material family; protect exposed deposits with Basalt containment walls when running nearby Lava routes.

Source Wiki

  • Fluxite upgrades tools, weapons, and drones and can be found naturally in small underground amounts.
  • Voidbloom is made from Void Petals and Redsand; supplied from the top of a Flux Emanator, it converts one-to-one into Fluxite.
  • The Fluxite bloom continues to grow while there is free space and Voidbloom supply.
  • Update #3 Official: Lava now destroys Redsoil terrain (as well as Fluxite and Strataform) on direct contact. Protect Redsand deposits near active Lava zones with Basalt walls.
