Liquid Gold
Liquid Gold is recorded by the official wiki as Liquid with density 120. A Smelter compresses Gold into Liquid Gold at an explicitly approximate two-solid-pixels to one-liquid-pixel ratio.

Confirmed Acquisition
The confirmed sources for Liquid Gold are Smelter. This establishes the acquisition route, but it does not establish an unstated ratio, cycle time, per-second yield or automated layout.
Production-Chain Role
Liquid Gold has Smelter upstream, no named dedicated processor as processing, and no confirmed byproduct downstream. These links define the documented chain, not an unstated quantity or optimal layout.
Entity-Specific Behavior
A Smelter compresses Gold into Liquid Gold at an explicitly approximate two-solid-pixels to one-liquid-pixel ratio. Each liquid pixel counts as two currency units in Collector tiles, preserving the original value in less space. Liquid Gold can be moved through Pump, Pipe and Liquid Vent; keep the receiving Collector area square-edged so flowing pixels remain countable.
Evidence Limits
The current official density is 120. Smelter time and heat, Collector capacity, Pump and Pipe throughput and the exact rounding behavior behind the approximate compaction ratio are unknown.

Official wiki tip
Melt Gold in a Smelter, then move Liquid Gold with Pump, Pipe, Liquid Vent or Grabber. It is inert, cannot be frozen or combined, and must be stored in Collector blocks to count toward the bank. The approximate conversion is 2 Gold -> 1 Liquid Gold without changing total value.
