Extractinator

The Extractinator is an item that turns Silt, Slush and Desert Fossils into more valuable items such as Ores, Coins, and Gems. It can be found rarely in Gold Chests and Wooden Crates and occasionally in Ice Chests (each Ice Chest has approximately a 5% chance of containing one). Another way to obtain it is to locate one standing in Underground Cabins within the Underground Desert. To use the Extractinator, first place it in the world, then place appropriate blocks directly on the Extractinator within its 3×3 frame.

Feeding blocks to the Extractinator is the only way to obtain Amber and Amber Mosquitos, and the only reliable way to get a world's alternate Ores along with Fishing for Crates.

Tips

 * The Brick Layer and Architect Gizmo Pack are useful for processing silt, slush and fossils more quickly.
 * If processing a large quantity of silt, slush, or fossils, it may be helpful to clear out inventory space so items are not deposited on the ground.

Trivia

 * When moused over on the map, its name appears as "Silt Extractinator".
