Sandustry Planter Box setup

Separate the Planter Box from the washer

Stabilize Wet Seed production before routing it into the plant room. Put a small product buffer and shutoff between the washer and the Planter Box. This prevents Water, dry Seed, and a washer backup from entering the growth chamber while you repair it.

Use a Conveyor Portal, Launcher, or controlled fall to deliver only Wet Seed. Keep the final filter visible and leave enough space to collect rejected material without opening the planter wall.

• Confirm Wet Seed at the buffer.
• Close the input before entering the plant room.
• Keep washer Water on the upstream side.
• Provide an overflow for rejected dry Seed.

Place one Planter Box and map the growth area

Start with one Planter Box inside a contained chamber. Release a small batch of Wet Seed and watch where Flowers expand before installing the final heat and output structures. Mark cold corners and any path that lets growth touch the product exits.

Leave vertical and side clearance around the plant. A compact wall placed too early can turn a harmless petal into a bridge that carries new growth into filters or Conveyor Portals.

Supply repeatable heat to the harvest zone

A Pyro Dispenser connected to an adjacent heated Thermal Buffer can burn Flowers without continuous manual Flamethrower use. Build the thermal supply outside the Gold and Amethelis fall paths.

Enable the heat for one growth cycle. Every mature Flower should reach the burn zone before the next Wet Seed batch expands the plant. If a corner survives, adjust local heat coverage or airflow before duplicating the Planter Box.

• Keep Lava or Cinder outside the product chamber.
• Leave access to refill or repair the thermal source.
• Stop Wet Seed while testing heat coverage.

Use Fans, filters, and Portals for output sorting

Give Gold a protected lower route and move Amethelis toward a separate petal buffer or Steam dryer. Fans can move lighter plant material, but too much force can compress it against a wall. Add one Fan and watch several cycles before increasing airflow.

Use filters or Advanced Filters at the final split, and use Conveyor Portals where a direct belt would cross the plant room. Keep an open recovery pocket below the split for Wet Seed, Gold, or Amethelis that misses its route.

Compact and copy only after repeated clean cycles

The specialist layout becomes smaller after repeated debugging, but the footage does not prove one universal 3x3 standard. Compact your build only after Wet Seed enters, Flowers burn, and both products leave for several cycles without manual clearing.

Save a Blueprint of the stable version before moving walls. Test the compact copy in an empty area, then connect Wet Seed, heat, Gold, and Amethelis one interface at a time.

• Size the room around product clearance.
• Keep the manual input stop in the final design.
• Preserve an overflow and inspection opening.
• Record the game build with shared Blueprints.

Recover from escaped growth or mixed output

Stop Wet Seed first, isolate the heat source, and clear live growth from the farthest corner back toward the Planter Box. Empty Gold storage and the Amethelis buffer before removing material at the central split.

Restart with one batch. Watch the exact place where growth escaped or products mixed, and change that local boundary. A larger chamber can delay the same failure without removing its cause.
