Pressure Chamber
The Pressure Chamber turns 5 kg of lunar dust into 5 kg of moon sand every 12 s cycle, which is 25 kg/min of moon sand per machine. It costs $500. It draws 10 kW.
Waits about 3 s after the last input for incomplete batches. 25 kg/min of sand at full power. The 1:1 yield is not formally proven.

Known conflicts between sources
- Community builds (f87fd7e5, 0121bf5e) are not mapped to patches; DB mixes 1.0.4 prices/recipes with 1.0.5 pages.
- The 1:1 dust to sand yield is shown by DB and .me; another guide says the specs do not prove it.
- Raw dust for 1 chamber : 2 presses: 40 kg/min (chamber throttled to 80%) vs 45 kg/min (chamber at full speed, 5 kg/min sand surplus).
