Stage 02 · Scale the loop
Step 03 of 08Faster sieving, better meshes.
Increase throughput before automation by expanding the Sieve setup and choosing the right efficiency tradeoff.
Scale up Sieving
Place Sieves next to one another to grow from a single Sieve into a 3×3 and finally a 5×5 array. Up to 25 Sieves can work together.
A larger array processes stacks of Gravel, Dirt, or Sand much faster. Collect extra Gravel early so you can craft the next Flint Mesh tier.
Upgrade Meshes
Higher-tier Meshes improve eligible drops and output multipliers. Upgrade as the world expands so rare resources do not become a bottleneck.
Process compressed resources
Compress Cobblestone, Gravel, Dirt, or Sand for bulk handling. Hammers reduce compressed blocks through the same material sequence.
The Sieve accepts compressed blocks and processes them faster, but the in-game guide notes an output of roughly 50% compared with normal blocks. Use this when speed matters more than efficiency.
