Material Pages by Factory Job
Each material page answers three things: where it comes from, what it unlocks, and which machine or mechanic you should inspect next.
Sand
Dropped by Dirt and doubled by water into Wet Sand, the input of your first Gold machine.
Gold
Sifted from sand and dropped by flowers, gold marks the first working production loop.
Flower
Grown from a Wet Seed on a Planter Box; each head holds 4 Amethelis and 1 Gold.
Copper Ore
Found in small underground veins and dug into Copper for later processing steps.
Fluxite
The resource used to upgrade tools, weapons, and drones; also made by the Flux Emanator.
Seeds
Seeds come from Burnt Residue on a Kinetic Press and grow into flowers that drop Gold and Amethelis.
Auralite
Processed from Aurixite, condensed into Auralite Crystals, and broken down into Aura by the Aura Extractor.
Amethelis
Drops from flowers and becomes Dry Amethelis in a Steam Dryer for late-game crafting.
Redsand
Mined from Redsoil and combined with Void Petals to create Voidbloom.
Florinol
A liquid condensed from Florin that generates Energy and powers the late-game factory.
Voidbloom
Feeds the Flux Emanator, which processes it into Fluxite.
Cinder
Dropped by Scoria and re-ignited into Lava by a Flamethrower, the movable form of heat.
Scoria
What Snow turns Lava into; break it apart to collect Cinder.
Artifacts
Ancient objects found underground that grant boons when you unlock them.

Use material roles before trusting exact ratios
The item set is still in Early Access, so this index keeps to where each material comes from and what it is for, based on the official wiki and store descriptions, rather than quoting recipe numbers that can change.
