DIRECT ANSWER

Start by mixing Sand and Water into Wet Sand, process it with a Shaker, collect Gold, and route Residue away. Use Gold for research, then extend the chain through the Kinetic Press, Wet Seeds, flowers and Amethelis.

Your first reliable line

Do not expand before each output has somewhere to go. Sand and Water become Wet Sand; Shakers separate Gold downward while Residue moves away from the top.

  1. Create Wet Sand close to the Shaker line.
  2. Collect Gold below the Shakers.
  3. Move Residue to a separate burn and press route.
  4. Spend Gold on logistics, filters and the next processing unlock.

Progress by solving bottlenecks

Research unlocks buildings and tools, while Fluxite upgrades inventory items. A compact line with visible outputs is easier to repair than a large line that mixes every material.
