Sandustry Amethelis guide

Start at the Flower output, not the dryer

Burned Flowers release Gold and Amethelis into the same production room. Stop the Wet Seed feed and run one plant batch while watching where each output moves. The first goal is a clean split before either material reaches storage.

Give Gold a direct fall path and guide the lighter Amethelis toward a separate side or upper route. Use the material behavior together with filters and Fans. A tight filter opening with no empty space can still clog when petals and Gold arrive together.

• Build both output paths before burning Flowers.
• Keep the Gold exit below the active plant area.
• Send Amethelis to a visible buffer before the dryer.
• Stop the planter input during every sorting test.

Clear mixed Gold and Amethelis early

If Gold reaches the petal lane, close the plant input and empty the Amethelis route first. Remove Gold from the split point, then reopen the Gold exit. Do not push the mixed pile into the Steam dryer, where the solid can block contact and hide the original sorting fault.

If Amethelis rests above the Gold path, inspect the Fan direction, filter state, and available headroom. Increase local clearance before increasing the size of the entire room.

Build a controlled Steam dryer

Amethelis must touch the top face of the Steam Dryer while Steam touches the bottom face. Both contacts are required simultaneously. Route a small amount of petals over the machine and give Steam an open path underneath.

Generate Steam with a contained Water/heat setup or use an existing line. Verify Dry Amethelis appears before restoring continuous input. The machine is specifically for Amethelis; it is not a dryer for Wet Sand or Wet Seed.

• Keep Snow and Ice out of the Steam path.
• Keep foreign solids away from the top contact.
• Provide separate exits for Dry Amethelis and untreated overflow.

Diagnose a dryer that stops under load

Stop the incoming petal feed, clear the receiver and test one small clean batch. Check the top and bottom contacts before increasing heat or adding Fans. If this works but the continuous line stops, inspect the accumulated material and downstream gas route.

An early September discussion reports dryer problems in 0.5.6. Keep that build-specific report separate from a proven universal bug. If a correctly arranged small test still fails, record the build, contacts and whether reloading changes the behavior.

• Trace a blockage across several factory stages

Buffer Dry Amethelis before ignition

Filter the dried material into its own storage area rather than burning it at the dryer exit. A buffer lets you confirm the state, control each Florin batch, and stop the upstream plant line without opening the gas chamber.

The buffer is also the best inspection point. If fresh petals appear there, fix Steam contact or the output filter before adding heat downstream.

Hand off a clean batch to the Florin room

Dry Amethelis releases Florin gas when heated. Open the downstream route only after the Florin chamber is sealed, its cold side is active, and the Florinol basin is empty.

Send a small batch, then close the buffer exit. If the gas chain fails, you can repair it without fresh Amethelis or new Flowers entering the same room.
