Redsand
Redsand is a Solid material mined from Redsoil pockets underground, often at middle to lower depths. Combine a Redsand pixel with a Void Petal by making the two fall directly onto each other—Conveyor Belts cannot push them together to combine. This creates Voidbloom, which a Flux Emanator converts into Fluxite.

How to Get Redsand from Redsoil
Redsand comes from Redsoil. The official Redsoil page places large pockets underground, often at middle to lower depths. Redsoil has 20 HP and can be broken with a Shovel, Gun, Rocket Launcher, Drill, Laser, Void Gun, or Digger. A Shovel works more slowly than on Dirt; exact depth, yield, mining time, and tool speeds are not documented.
How to Combine Redsand with Void Petals
To make Voidbloom, arrange for a Redsand pixel and a Void Petal pixel to fall directly onto one another. Direct contact triggers the documented combination. Conveyor Belts cannot push the two ingredients together to make them combine, so do not rely on a belt junction for that final contact. The sources provide no verified ingredient ratio, conversion time, output quantity, or complete automation layout.
What Is Redsand Used For?
Redsand is the first material in a documented Fluxite production chain. Combining it with Void Petal creates Voidbloom. Drop the Voidbloom onto the top side of a Flux Emanator, and the machine converts it into Fluxite. One Voidbloom always converts to one Fluxite; that verified ratio applies only to the machine step, not to the Redsand and Void Petal combination. Fluxite is used to upgrade tools, weapons, and drones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you find Red Sand in Sandustry?
Find Redsoil pockets underground, often at middle to lower depths, and dig the Redsoil to obtain the material officially named Redsand.
How do you mine Redsand?
Break Redsoil with a Shovel, Gun, Rocket Launcher, Drill, Laser, Void Gun, or Digger. The official source does not rank their exact speeds.
How do you combine Redsand with Void Petals?
Make a Redsand pixel and a Void Petal pixel fall directly onto each other. Conveyor Belts cannot push them together to trigger the combination.
What does Redsand make?
Redsand combines with Void Petal to create Voidbloom. A Flux Emanator then converts Voidbloom into Fluxite when it touches the machine's top side.
Are Redsand and Red Sand the same material?
Yes. Players may search for red sand, but the official Sandustry material name is Redsand, written as one word. This page uses that canonical spelling.
