Sandustry Seed
Seed
Burnt residue << Seed >> Wet Seed
Input: Seed
Output: Wet Seed
Progression
In order to make wet seed you need better control of water, so now is the time to start digging deeper into the cavern and progressing research, upgrades, and factory tier. You need factory tier 3 which requires compressing a lot of burnt residue into seed. So have the seed sent to an empty 36x72 tank and get digging. Unlocking research will not be restrictive with the amount of gold that will be produced, but we’re looking for Fluids for water pipes to continue the factory.
Storage Tanks
At some point you will hit new materials that you cannot process yet. Build a little return belt to send material back to the beginning of the factory and those materials will cycle through the factory without clogging things up.
If materials you need land on top of materials you’re cycling, then they won’t get filtered into their tanks. The solution is to build a storage tank. I created this tileable blueprint that filters on the bottom and then uses launchers to fill the 12x72 tank. To start emptying the tank you can remove the bottom right foundation block to open the launcher on the right.s
