The bounded Kinetic Slag Press result says 1 Burnt Slag becomes 1 Gold and 1 Spore.

Direct answer

The Kinetic Slag Press is reported to turn Burnt Slag into Gold and Spore.

The frozen publisher-wiki SERP snippet says the Kinetic Slag Press turns 1 Burnt Slag into 1 Gold and 1 Spore. That directly answers the machine's reported role, but the numeric conversion remains BOUNDED search-result evidence—not VERIFIED first-hand play.

Use guidance

Verify the bounded one-unit conversion before expanding the route.

1. Run a small slag batch through the reported lava-and-filter heat stage.
2. Separate Burnt Slag from material that needs another heat pass.
3. Feed one checked Burnt Slag into the Kinetic Slag Press.
4. Confirm the current build produces one Gold and one Spore before increasing the feed.
5. Stop and recheck the source if the input is rejected, either output is missing, or the line clogs.

Community reports

The press appears in a filtration and recirculation troubleshooting context.

A Steam discussion refers to launching burnt slag up into kinetic presses while trying to keep unburnt slag out. It recommends thinner material flow and visible sorting checks; this is COMMUNITY troubleshooting evidence, not an optimum press layout.

Evidence boundary

One bounded conversion is known; unlock, timing, throughput, and permanence are not.

The frozen snippet supports the specific 1 Burnt Slag → 1 Gold + 1 Spore conversion. It does not verify the current unlock cost, research position, processing time, maximum throughput, layout, or whether later Early Access builds preserve the same numbers. Reproduce one conversion before relying on it.
