What is Fluxite used for in Sandustry?

Fluxite is the rare upgrade currency used to unlock high-tier Research Tree nodes. It cannot be mined directly — it must be synthesized through a multi-stage reaction chain starting from Burnt Slag.

How do I make Fluxite?

Crush Burnt Slag in a Kinetic Press to produce Bio-Spores. Farm Amethelis Flowers in Planter Boxes, then collide Amethelis with Redsand to trigger a transformation into Voidbloom. Finally, process Voidbloom in a Flux Emanator to extract Fluxite.

Where do I find Amethelis?

Amethelis Flowers grow naturally in mid-game underground biomes. They can be harvested and replanted in Planter Boxes for sustainable farming. Each flower takes several game-days to mature.

What does a Flux Emanator do?

The Flux Emanator is the processing machine that converts Voidbloom (and other rare materials) into Fluxite. It requires a steady power source and outputs 1 Fluxite per Voidbloom cycle.

Can Fluxite be automated?

Yes. Build a closed loop: automated Burnt Slag production → Kinetic Press spore extraction → Planter Box Amethelis farm → Redsand collision reactor → Flux Emanator. The bottleneck is usually Amethelis growth time.

ENDGAME CURRENCY BLUEPRINT

While Gold unlocks the 46 nodes of the research tree, Fluxite is the vital secondary currency required to craft item upgrades, weapon augments, and autonomous drone capabilities. Here is the guide to fully automating Fluxite in Sandustry V0.5.6.

🔮 The 5-Stage Fluxite Reaction Pipeline

V0.5.6 Verified

STAGE 01 · SLAG ROASTING & PRESSYield: 1x Gold + 1x Bio-Spore

Roast Slag & 25-Block Kinetic Drop

Pass Shaker Slag over Lava/Flamethrower to create Burnt Slag. Drop it 25+ blocks into a Kinetic Slag Press to guarantee 100% conversion into 1x Gold + 1x Bio-Spore.

STAGE 02 · HYDROPONIC FARMINGYield: Amethelis Flower

Feed Spores + Water into Planter Boxes

Convey Bio-Spores into an automated Planter Box array hydrated by piped Lumling water. In ~30 seconds, the spores bloom into mature Amethelis Flowers.

STAGE 03 · FLOWER HARVESTINGYield: 1x Gold + 1x Amethelis Crystal

Harvest Amethelis Crystals

Harvesting or breaking mature flowers yields 1x Gold + 1x Amethelis Crystal (Density 190). Filter out the gold into your Collector and route crystals upward.

STAGE 04 · GRAVITY COLLISIONFormula: 1 Amethelis + 1 Redsand → 2 Voidbloom

Collide Amethelis Crystals with Redsand

Amethelis cannot simply touch Redsand on a horizontal belt. You must drop them on top of each other inside a vertical chute to trigger the chemical reaction that synthesizes 2x Voidbloom (Density 85)!

STAGE 05 · FLUX EMANATIONYield: Pure Fluxite

Extract Fluxite in Flux Emanators

Convey Voidbloom into Flux Emanators. The machine distills the void matter into permanent Fluxite currency, creating an infinite hands-free upgrade loop.

💡 Pro Engineer Blueprint Tips

✓Zero-Waste Feedback: Every step of the Fluxite pipeline generates bonus Gold (from Kinetic Press and Flower harvesting), meaning your upgrade line also doubles as a secondary Gold farm!
✓Redsand Quarry: Set up a dedicated excavator line in the subterranean Red Desert biome to guarantee uninterrupted Redsand supply for your Voidbloom collision chutes.
