MACHINE / TIER 5
Sandustry Flux Emanator
Feed Voidbloom from the correct side, leave growth space and harvest before performance degrades.
Drop Voidbloom onto the top of the Flux Emanator. The machine slowly creates Fluxite from the bottom, and the mineral tries to grow outward in a circle around the output.

Placement rules
Voidbloom must touch the top of the machine. Solid obstacles redirect the Fluxite outline, so reserve a clear collection chamber below and around the output.
Prevent lag and dead space
Large unharvested Fluxite growth can slow placement calculations. Add visible access for harvesting and avoid enclosing the output too tightly.
Reserve a safe growth envelope
Place the machine where the bottom output has open room to expand without reaching storage, walkways or another critical production line. Solid boundaries redirect the outline, so use them deliberately to keep growth inside a harvestable chamber rather than squeezing the first pixels into a narrow trap. Test one Voidbloom input and observe the initial direction before finalizing the enclosure; this reveals whether the selected wall shape makes collection easier or creates inaccessible pockets.
- Keep the top face clear for Voidbloom.
- Leave open space below and around the output.
- Create a reachable harvesting edge.
- Run one input cycle before enclosing the full chamber.
Troubleshoot input and performance
If nothing appears, confirm Voidbloom touches the top rather than a side and that the output area is not completely obstructed. If growth slows the game, pause the feed and harvest the largest connected mass before adding more machines. Do not treat extra Emanators as a fix for a blocked chamber; parallel sources multiply the amount the game must place. Keep a visible input counter or small buffer so a missing feed can be distinguished from a slow output calculation.
