Early Game Gold Automation Blueprint

V1.0 Early Access Tested

Master the closed-loop gold sifting cycle. Eliminate the infamous Slag Jam and reclaim bonus Gold + Bio-Spores via automated thermal reprocessing.

// PRODUCTION BLUEPRINT FLOWCHART

FLOW RATE: ~120 GOLD/MIN

💧 Water Basin (4x3)

Dry Sand falls into water, auto-converting to Wet Sand (1:1 ratio).

➔

🚀 Vertical Hydraulic Launcher

Submerged in pool. Shoots wet sand 4 blocks upward onto top conveyor.

⬇

CORE MACHINE

Industrial Shaker (Mounted at +4 Elevation)

Processing Rate: 100%

⬇ Bottom Outlet (Density 99)25% Yield

Heavy Gold falls straight through bottom mesh into Collection Chutes.

★ PURE GOLD COINS → STORAGE HUB

➔ Top Right Exit (Density 45)75% Residue

Lighter Slag residue is pushed across deck onto Residue Conveyor.

⚠️ MUST EVACUATE TO PREVENT JAM

⬇

🔥 Inline Flamethrower

Applies sustained thermal heat to Slag, converting it to brittle Burnt Slag.

➔

🔨 Kinetic Slag Press+15% Bonus

Crushes burnt slag with vertical kinetic drop, extracting Bonus Gold Flakes + Bio Spores.

Step-by-Step Construction Guide

Submerge Launcher

Dig a 4x3 basin and fill with water. Place the Launcher inside. It instantly mixes dry sand into wet sand and lifts particles to +4 elevation without manual labor.

Elevate Shaker Deck

Mount your Industrial Shaker atop structural pillars. Install bottom funnels for gold collection, and connect a diagonal conveyor to the upper right exit.

Thermal Reprocessor

Route slag past a continuous flame stream into a Kinetic Press. Never discard slag; it accounts for over 15% of your total hourly tech progression.

⚠️ Anti-Clog Checklist (Prevent Factory Jams)

1. Input Overflow

Mining faster than 1 Shaker capacity causes spills. Add a throttle hopper.

2. Slag Jam on Deck

If top output is blocked, gold sifting halts. Keep exit belt running.

3. Dry Sand Encroachment

Dry sand in shakers gives 0% gold. Keep water supply active.
