Sandustry amethelis is the petal material, four per Flower head. As a Wisp it drifts sideways while falling, and a Dryer turns it into Dry Amethelis.
Amethelis is the petal material that makes up most of a Flower's head - four per flower, alongside a single Gold. It is classified as a Wisp, meaning it drifts side to side as it falls rather than dropping straight down, so collecting it takes wider catch areas or an Aerokinetic Fan to steer it. Its only processing route is the Dryer, which turns it into Dry Amethelis for the Florin chain.
How to get Amethelis
Only one method produces Amethelis: destroy flowers. Because nothing else feeds it, throughput here caps everything built on top of it.
| Method | From | Machine | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Destroy Flowers | Flower | — | Each flower yields 4 Amethelis and 1 Gold. |
What Amethelis is used for
Amethelis feeds exactly one output, Dry Amethelis, which makes planning around it unusually simple.
| Produces | Machine or process | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dry Amethelis | Dryer | Dried for further processing. |

Amethelis properties
Amethelis has a density of 40, and density is what decides where a pixel ends up in a mixed pile — heavier material sinks, lighter material floats or drifts.
| Property | Value |

| Density | 40 |
| Matter type | Wisp |
| Burnable | No |
| Wettable | No |
| Launchable | Yes |

Tips
- As a Wisp it drifts sideways while falling, so catch areas need to be wider than the drop point.
