Grinding Unit Simulation Guide

Place a Grinding Unit

Once you unlock access to the Power Plateau region in Valley IV, you’ll encounter a new plant called the Sandleaf. This plant is essential for producing several high‑value materials, including Dense Cryston, Dense Originium, and Dense Ferrium Powders. These are ingredients used to craft advanced items such as the HC Valley Battery, LC Wuling Battery, and even upgraded healing supplies like the Buck Capsule [A].

To start this sim, place a Grinding Unit on the highlighted area.

Click the Grinding Unit

Click the Grinding Unit you've just built and follow the tutorial to learn the recipe for creating Cryston Fibers.

Cryston Components are needed to craft purple-tier gear for your squad

Connect the Facilities for Cryston Fiber Production

Since Packed Origocrusts is already being produced. All you need to secure is the production for Cryston Fibers. Here's how:

For the Amethyst Depot Unloader, run a transport belt from the Depot Unloader → Refining Unit → Shredding Unit → Grinding Unit

For the Sandleaf Depot Unloader, run a transport belt from the Depot Unloader → Shredding Unit → Grinding Unit

Finally, run a transport line to connect the Grinding Unit → Refining Unit → Gearing Unit

Power Up the Facilities With Only 3 Electric Pylons

Now that everything is connected, the next step is to power up the facilities. To complete the bonus goal, you’ll need to do this using only three Electric Pylons. Simply reposition the Pylons to maximize their coverage, then stash away the extras.
