1 chamber to 2 presses (1:2)

1 chamber to 2 presses (1:2) makes 40 kg/min of moonstone and draws 46 kW. Here is the sand balance, what the published sources say, and what Foundry's solver builds for the same output.

Sand balance

1 chamber make 25 kg/min of sand at full speed (1 x 25). 2 presses use 20 kg/min (2 x 10). That leaves 5 kg/min of spare sand, so the chambers run below full speed or the surplus is sold.

The raw dust is 45 kg/min if the chamber is throttled to the 20 kg/min the presses need, and 45 kg/min if it runs flat out and 5 kg/min of sand is left over. Both figures are published and both are shown.

What the Foundry solver builds

Asked for 40 kg/min of moonstone, the solver sizes 1 Pressure Chamber and 2 Stone Presses, with 40 kg/min of dust, 46 kW and $3,420 in total (machines, solar panels and placeholder belts). It agrees with the published ratio.

The 1:1 dust to sand yield is displayed by two databases and not formally proven by the specifications.
