Direct answer
The captured evidence only supports a planter-box reference.
A Steam Community follow-up refers to a planter box. That is enough to identify the term as a gameplay setup element, but not enough to define every input, output, unlock, or crop behavior.
COMMUNITY · term identification, not a complete machine specification.
Reported setup
Keep the reported heat interaction isolated and testable.
- Build a small disposable planter-box test rather than connecting it to a critical line.
- Keep the planter output path visible before introducing heat.
- The captured post reports a planter box placed two blocks above a lava box can burn plant output; reproduce that only in the current build.
- Stop if the behavior differs and do not scale the setup from this report alone.
Community report
The observation is narrow, not a universal planting guide.
The report was posted in a discussion about an automatic slag burner, not as a formal planter guide. It names a possible plant-burning interaction but does not establish what to plant, yield rates, safety, or compatibility with other machines.
Evidence boundary
No crop recipe or exact production claim is published.
Steam's official listing supports the broader automation-game premise. The planter interaction remains COMMUNITY evidence and needs a current-build check before it informs a factory plan.

Questions this page can answer
What does the planter grow?
The frozen evidence does not establish a crop list.
Is the reported heat setup guaranteed?
No. Reproduce it in the current build before depending on it.
