Sandustry Materials

Crackstone is a barrier material, not a resource. One HP, but immune to the Shovel and Gun, so it gates areas until you unlock a better tool.

Dirt is the bulk of the map's ground and the only source of Sand, which makes it the start of the entire gold chain.

Fluxite is the upgrade currency, running alongside Gold as the other half of progression spending. Natural supply is finite until the Flux Emanator.

Scoria is frozen Lava, formed where Snow hits a lava pool. It is tougher than Dirt but breaks to any regular digging tool, and it yields Cinder.

Sand is the bulk feedstock of the early factory. Dirt gives you effectively unlimited supply; Water is what limits how much of it you can use.

Lava cannot be picked up or piped, so moving it means converting it: freeze it to Scoria, dig that into Cinder, and re-melt the Cinder on arrival.

Water is the limiting resource of the early game. Almost every production line ends up bottlenecked on water throughput rather than on ore.

Residue is the guaranteed half of the Shaker's output and is useless until burned. Fire spreads between pixels, which makes bulk burning easy to automate.

Wet Sand is the only form the Shaker accepts, and its output sorts itself: Gold falls out the bottom, Residue is pushed out sideways.

A Wet Seed is the only thing a Planter Box will grow. Its density exactly matches Water, so it hangs suspended rather than sinking.

Burnt Residue is the surviving quarter of burned Residue and the point where the production chain forks into currency and the flower loop.

Cinder is the portable form of Lava. Unlike Lava it can be carried and routed like any other solid, and a direct flame turns it back into Lava.

Gold is the main progression currency and the densest pixel in the game, so it self-separates to the bottom of any mixed pile.

Seeds come out of the Kinetic Press alongside Gold. Dry, they do nothing; they have to meet Water before a Planter Box will accept them.

A Flower is what a Wet Seed becomes on a Planter Box: a Vine stem with a head of four Amethelis and one Gold, harvested by destroying it.

Amethelis is the petal material that makes up most of a Flower head. As a Wisp it drifts sideways as it falls, so catch areas need to be wide.

Dry Amethelis is Amethelis after the Dryer, one density point lighter than the wet form, and the fuel that burns into Florin gas.

Snow is the game's main cold source. It freezes deep Water into Ice and Lava into Scoria, consuming itself in both cases.

Florin is the gas given off when Dry Amethelis burns, and the last step of the flower chain before it pays out through a Condenser.

Steam is what Water or Snow becomes under Fire, and what you get free wherever Water meets Lava. Reaching the Sky, it returns as rain.
