Sandustry Buildings

The placed machines that move, sort, and refine pixels. Every official building with the inputs and outputs we can defend.

Refining floor

The machines that make Gold

The Shaker is the first machine that matters. The Kinetic Press and Flux Emanator carry your factory further.

The Shaker feeds on Wet Sand and separates out Gold, with about a one in four chance per pixel. The Kinetic Press — sometimes called the Kinetic Slag Press or "Slag Burner" in community writing — takes Burnt Residue and returns extra Gold plus Seeds. The Flux Emanator is the botanical refinery — it consumes Voidbloom and grows Fluxite under the tile.

Official Steam machine-dense factory. Count belts before you copy the silhouette.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. The official wiki title is Kinetic Press. Community guides kept the demo name.

Not before Logistics. Digger and Hauler fill gaps. Belts define the factory.

Official research lists it at 7500 Gold. The building page was still a redlink on 15 August 2026, so this roster does not invent a recipe.
