Direct answer

Sandustry dry amethelis leaves the Dryer one density point lighter than the wet form, and burning about two of them releases a single Florin gas pixel.

Dry Amethelis is Amethelis after the Dryer, and it is one density point lighter than the wet form - 39 against 40 - which is enough for the two to separate in an air stream. Burning it releases Florin gas, at roughly two Dry Amethelis per Florin. Like its wet form it drifts as it falls and is best moved with an Aerokinetic Fan. It also completes a loop: Florin that escapes to the sky comes back down as Dry Amethelis precipitation.

How to get Dry Amethelis

You can reach Dry Amethelis 2 different ways, which matters because the cheapest route early is rarely the one that scales. It comes out of Amethelis and Florin.

What Dry Amethelis is used for

Dry Amethelis exists for one purpose: producing Florin. That single downstream step is the whole reason to collect it.

Dry Amethelis properties

At density 39, Dry Amethelis sorts itself relative to everything else in the pile, which is often cheaper than filtering it deliberately.

FAQ

How do you get dry amethelis in Sandustry?

Run Amethelis through a Dryer. It also falls from the sky as precipitation wherever Florin gas has escaped upward, which closes the loop on leaky setups.

What is dry amethelis used for in Sandustry?

Burning it releases Florin gas, at roughly two Dry Amethelis per Florin. Florin then condenses into Florinol or Gold.

How do you separate dry amethelis from amethelis in Sandustry?

By density. Dry Amethelis is 39 against wet Amethelis at 40, which is a small but usable difference in an air stream.

How do you move dry amethelis in Sandustry?

An Aerokinetic Fan is the practical answer, since as a Wisp it drifts slowly rather than falling straight into a collector.
