Quick answer: Unlock the Flux Emanator for 2,000 Gold, feed Voidbloom onto its top, and leave a large open chamber underneath. Each Voidbloom converts to 1 Fluxite; the Fluxite spawns from the bottom, grows outward, and must be mined to collect it. Production continues only while input and growth space remain.
What the Flux Emanator does
Fluxite upgrades tools, weapons, and drones. Small amounts occur naturally underground, but the Flux Emanator is the official production route for making your own supply later in the game.
This page focuses on the final machine. The current Voidbloom page states that 1 Voidbloom always converts to 1 Fluxite. “Unlimited Fluxite” therefore means renewable production with a continuing Voidbloom input and enough output space—not free production from an empty machine.
The official Research table currently lists the Flux Emanator at 2,000 Gold in Tier 5. That table is marked WIP, so treat the cost as patch-sensitive.
Build around the input direction
The machine has a strict spatial relationship:
| Side | Material | Required condition |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Voidbloom input | Must physically touch the top of the Flux Emanator |
| Bottom | Fluxite output | Needs open space to spawn and expand |
| Around output | Walls or terrain | Redirect the growing contour and can reduce useful capacity |
Choose the output chamber before placing the machine. The official Flux Emanator page says the Fluxite grows outward in a circle centered below it. Solid obstacles make the growth follow their contour, so a cramped floor creates a harder shape to inspect and harvest.
Set up a reliable Fluxite line
- Excavate a generous lower chamber. Keep the bottom visible and reachable with a digging tool. Do not place the Emanator directly on a finished floor.
- Place the machine above the chamber. Preserve a clear top-side route for Voidbloom and a separate exit for harvested Fluxite.
- Prepare a small Voidbloom batch. Do not connect the full botanical supply until one conversion is visible.
- Feed Voidbloom onto the top. Material touching a side or the bottom is not the verified input condition.
- Wait for the slow conversion. The official Emanator page says the process is not instant.
- Confirm Fluxite appears underneath. Let the first cluster grow far enough to prove the output direction, then mine it and confirm collection.
- Connect transport after harvesting works. The Automation Guide can move the collected solid, but the growing Fluxite itself still needs room around the machine.
Use the first few inputs as a calibration batch. A larger Voidbloom feed does not solve an obstructed output chamber.
Troubleshoot Flux Emanator problems
Voidbloom reaches the machine but nothing happens
Check the contact point. The current official Voidbloom and Flux Emanator pages both specify the top side. Stop the feed, clear misplaced material, and drop one verified Voidbloom directly onto the top.
The input is correct, but Fluxite has not appeared
Wait before rebuilding. The official machine page describes the conversion as slow and not immediate. Keep the output area visible so the first piece is not hidden behind terrain.
Fluxite grows along a wall
That is expected when solid objects block the ideal circular pattern. Enlarge the lower chamber if the contour becomes difficult to mine or occupies the route intended for collection.
Production stops after several conversions
Check both constraints independently: is Voidbloom still touching the top, and is there still free growth space under the machine? The current Voidbloom page says growth continues only while material is supplied and the bloom has room to become larger.
You are feeding Amethelis or another plant material
The verified input is Voidbloom. The Planter Box Guide covers Flowers, Gold, and Amethelis, but those outputs are not interchangeable with Voidbloom at the Emanator.
Plan harvesting and progression
Fluxite is a tool-upgrade currency, so a usable line includes a repeatable harvesting route, not just the largest possible crystal shape. Leave access to the bottom chamber, mine in controlled batches, and move the collected material away before it blocks the next harvest.
If the 2,000 Gold Research cost is the bottleneck, stabilize the earlier Processing Plant Guide before investing in a late-game botanical module. The Guide Hub keeps that progression separate from the immediate machine setup.
