The Kinetic Press only accepts Burnt Residue that falls onto it from at least 25 blocks up. A shorter drop leaves the material sitting on the machine and blocking the input. A valid drop converts one Burnt Residue into one Gold and one Seed, which makes it the second Gold source in the classic Sandustry progression.
