Official Sandustry material states that sand absorbs water to form wet sand that can be sifted for gold. Verify the current machine, recipe, and output values in-game, then build a contained water-and-sand test before integrating gold into a larger chain.
Verified guideIdentify each resource by state, source, reaction, and destination. Official material confirms that particles can react with the world: ice can melt, water can become steam, sand can absorb water, and materials can be processed through factory systems. Test reactions in a contained area before routing them through production.
