Gold
Gold is recorded by the official wiki as Solid with density 300. Gold is the heaviest documented pixel, so it settles below lighter material and can be separated by gravity.

Confirmed Acquisition
The confirmed sources for Gold are Shaker, Kinetic Press, Flower. This establishes the acquisition route, but it does not establish an unstated ratio, cycle time, per-second yield or automated layout.
Production-Chain Role
Gold has Shaker, Kinetic Press, Flower upstream, Smelter as processing, and no confirmed byproduct downstream. These links define the documented chain, not an unstated quantity or optimal layout.
Entity-Specific Behavior
Gold is the heaviest documented pixel, so it settles below lighter material and can be separated by gravity. It becomes spendable Research currency only while stored in Collector blocks; loose Gold is material, not bank balance.
Evidence Limits
The official sources do not give Collector capacity, Smelter time, exact output from every Gold source or an exact universal Sand-to-Gold recipe. The approximate figures must not be converted into guaranteed factory throughput.
