Sandustry flower grows from a Wet Seed on a Planter Box. Destroy it with weapons or Fire and the head drops four Amethelis and one Gold pixel.
A Flower is what a Wet Seed becomes on a Planter Box: a stem of Vine with a head made of four Amethelis and one Gold. It is not processed by a machine - you harvest it by destroying it, with weapons or with Fire, and the head's contents drop as loose pixels. That makes flower farming the entry point to the Amethelis chain, which runs on to Dry Amethelis, Florin and Florinol.
How to get Flower
Flower has exactly one documented source in the current build: grow a wet seed on a planter box. Everything downstream of it therefore depends on keeping that one step supplied.

What Flower is used for
Downstream of Flower you have Amethelis and Gold. Deciding the split between them is a layout question as much as a recipe one.
| Produces | Machine or process | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Amethelis | Direct contact | 4 Amethelis per flower head. |
| Gold | Direct contact | 1 Gold per flower head. |
Conversions
Every Flower conversion below has a published ratio, which makes throughput planning around it unusually concrete.
| Input | Output | Process | Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Flower | 4 Amethelis + 1 Gold | Destroy with weapons or Fire | 1 -> 4 + 1 |
- 4 Amethelis + 1 Gold: The stem is Vine and yields nothing.
