Sandustry Flowers: Growing and Harvesting Guide

In current Early Access, a Wet Seed that touches a Planter Box forms a Flower. Flowers can be destroyed by weapons or Fire and are associated with Amethelis production, but exact yields and harvesting layouts should be verified per build.

How to Grow a Flower

The production chain is:

1 Seed + 1 Water → 1 Wet Seed → contact Planter Box → Flower

Current Research information places Planter Box at Tier 3 with a 2,000 Gold research cost. This unlock number is not the material cost of placing each box.

Leave open growing and collection space. Old videos may show different shapes or reach because a 2025 Demo hotfix changed the Flower generation algorithm.

Destroying and Harvesting Flowers

The current Flower page confirms that weapons and Fire can destroy a Flower. That does not prove every weapon, heat source, or automated method preserves exactly the same output.

When testing a harvest design, record:

1. The game version.
2. The weapon or fire source used.
3. Whether every visible Flower section was destroyed.
4. The exact Gold and Amethelis collected.

Avoid presenting one unverified yield as permanent Early Access behavior.

Collecting Amethelis

Amethelis uses the Wisp material state. Its documented density is 40, it can be fired with a Launcher, and it drifts sideways while falling. A narrow vertical chute may therefore lose material at the edges.

Use a wider enclosed catchment or sloped walls that guide drifting particles back toward the collection line. Test the actual horizontal spread before building a large farm.

Demo Mechanics vs Early Access

Older content may describe Moss stems, a different Flower algorithm, or fixed farm dimensions. These layouts are useful as historical examples, not as evidence for the August 2026 build.

Start with the Wet Seed guide if your planting material is getting trapped in Water or Filters.
