Sandustry florin is the gas released by burning Dry Amethelis. A Condenser turns it into Florinol or Gold, at roughly two Gold per Florinol pixel.
Florin is the gas given off when Dry Amethelis burns, and it is the last step of the flower chain before it pays out. A Condenser turns Florin into Florinol or into Gold, at roughly two Gold for every Florinol. Being a gas it rises and escapes if uncontained - but the loss is not total, since Florin that reaches the sky eventually falls back as Dry Amethelis, so a leaky setup is inefficient rather than fatal.
How to get Florin
There is a single route to Florin — burn dry amethelis — so it is the step to size first when a line running on Florin starves.
| Method | From | Machine | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burn Dry Amethelis | Dry Amethelis | Flamethrower / Pyro Dispenser / Lava | ~2 Dry Amethelis per Florin. |
What Florin is used for
Florin is an input to Florinol and Gold, which is why it usually pays to buffer it rather than consume it the moment it appears.
| Produces | Machine or process | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Florinol | Condenser | — |
| Gold | Condenser | — |
Conversions
Ratios are documented for Florin, so you can size the line arithmetically instead of by trial and error.
| Input | Output | Process | Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~2 Dry Amethelis | 1 Florin | Fire | ~2:1 |
| Florin | Florinol or Gold | Condenser | ~2 Gold per 1 Florinol |

FAQ
How do you make florin in Sandustry?
Burn Dry Amethelis with a Flamethrower, a Pyro Dispenser or Lava. Roughly two Dry Amethelis release one Florin.
What is florin used for in Sandustry?
A Condenser turns Florin into either Florinol or Gold, at a rate of about two Gold for every one Florinol.
Why is my florin escaping in Sandustry?
Florin is a gas, so it rises and leaks from any uncontained space. Seal the burn chamber with blocks and put the Condenser above it.
Is escaped florin lost in Sandustry?
Not entirely. Florin that reaches the Sky returns to the map as Dry Amethelis precipitation, so a leaky setup is inefficient rather than fatal.
