Extractinator

The Extractinator is an item which converts Silt, Slush and Desert Fossils into more valuable items such as ores, coins, and gems. It can be found rarely in Gold Chests, Ice Chests, or other chests in the underground, and Wooden Crates. Underground Cabins in the also have a chance to contain a placed Extractinator.

In order to use the Extractinator, it first needs to be placed in the world. Afterwards, suitable blocks need to be consumed (with the key) 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, along with opening crates, the only reliable way to obtain a world's alternative ores.
