[0.5.6beta] Simple Magic Source Dust Cleaner

The solution in this tutorial is no longer valid in version 0.6.0 dev25. Please use the dedicated ash removal and cleaning machine provided by the modpack.

After version 0.6.0 dev25, breaking the Muffler Hatch retains the ash inside it, so this method no longer works.

Just follow the picture.

2026/10/13 Revision: It has been noticed that for unknown reasons the Muffler Hatch may always face sideways and fail to form properly. You can use Rotate + Sensitive to twist it to face upward, but Rotate is a tier 3 glyph and requires a max-level spellbook to use. Restarting the game may change the placement direction; the reason is unknown.

The hourglass runs for a duration equal to the amount of sand in seconds, or the amount of soul sand in minutes.

The hourglass attempts to dismantle the silencer chamber periodically, but it prevents dust removal when the machine is active.

When the machine stops, dust removal can proceed normally.

If it's a long period of idling, the machine will automatically stop when it's full of dust. At this time, clean up the dust, and the machine will automatically start running again.

For maintenance warehouses, you can stuff some duct tape inside.
