Separate burning slag from processing burnt slag.

Definition

“Slag burner” is community shorthand for the heat stage.

The captured Steam discussion says lava can be placed inside a filter so slag passing over it cooks automatically; a developer reply calls it an autoburner setup. Treat this as COMMUNITY behavior for that build, not an official blueprint.

Use sequence

Keep burning and pressing as two separate stages.

The frozen publisher-wiki SERP snippet says the Kinetic Slag Press turns 1 Burnt Slag into 1 Gold and 1 Spore. That numeric recipe is BOUNDED search-result evidence, not a VERIFIED first-hand test; confirm it in the current Early Access build.

BOUNDED numeric snippet + COMMUNITY heat-stage pattern · current-build verification required.

Layout guidance

Separate the hot zone, recirculation check, and press feed.

• Contain lava inside the filter area described by the discussion.
• Let slag pass over the hot zone rather than mixing lava into the main feed.
• Keep a route for burnt slag to leave toward the press.
• The discussion suggests recirculating uncooked slag that slips through; test that failsafe with a small batch.

Evidence boundary

No first-hand recipe or ratio claim.

The lava-and-filter behavior and recirculation suggestion come from one captured Steam discussion. The press role comes from a frozen publisher-wiki SERP result. Reproduce both in the current build before relying on the layout.
