The Extractinator or Silt Extractinator[1] 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, Frozen Chests, or other chests in the underground, and Wooden Crates. Underground Cabins in the Underground Desert also have a chance to contain an 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 ⚒ Use / Attack key) directly on the Extractinator within its 3×3 frame.

Feeding blocks to the Extractinator is the only way to obtain Amber Mosquitoes, and, along with opening crates, the only reliable way to obtain a world's alternative Pre-Hardmode ores. This is great way to obtain ore and coins in early game.

Notes

  • Despite increasing block placement speed, neither the Builder Potion, Brick Layer, nor Architect Gizmo Pack cause blocks to be processed more quickly. The speed depends solely on the block's use time.[2]
  • The world-generated ores appear with equal chances as their alternatives, e.g., the Extractinator produces an equal chance of Gold Ore and Platinum Ore, regardless of which is found underground in that world.
  • Unlike crates, the Extractinator will not provide Hardmode ores even if the world is in Hardmode. It will not produce high-tier pre-Hardmode ores such as Demonite, either.
  • A full stack of 999 Silt or Slush Blocks yields a fair collection of loot. The table below breaks down, prorates, and summarizes the sale prices.
    • Most of the gems are much more valuable when crafted into Stained Glass: Each gem except Diamond makes 1 worth of Stained Glass.
      • The gems can also be crafted into Gemcorns, to grow more gems directly.
      • Diamonds cannot be turned into Stained Glass, or anything else with a higher sale price than the gems.
      • Amber can be crafted into Crate Potions, which allow fishing for crate loot worth far more than the Amber's sale price.
    • If processing Desert Fossils, the resulting Sturdy Fossils are unsalable themselves, but used in a number of recipes, notably Scarab Bombs. Any excess can be turned into Bone Throwing Knives and sold that way.
    • Notice how much of the total average payoff comes from the small chance of obtaining Platinum Coins. The total yields are normally 8 or 9 or so lower, but with a 6%-7% chance per 1000 blocks of a platinum jackpot.

Tips

  • If processing a large quantity of blocks, it may be helpful to clear out inventory space (16 or 17 slots) so the rewarded items are not deposited on the ground.
  • When trying to find an Extractinator it is easiest to look in the Underground Desert since most underground houses have an Extractinator.
  • On the Nintendo Switch Nintendo Switch version, using a Brick Layer/Architect Gizmo Pack will make it cost nothing but one Silt to use indefinitely, making an infinite source of any blocks obtained by extracting Silt.
  • Due to the dangers of the Underground desert, the lower chances of getting ores/coins/gems (but amber) and how common Silt is in other biomes, Desert fossil is a less viable option for getting ores/coins/gems.

Trivia

History

  • Desktop 1.3.0.1:
    • Can now be found in fishing crates.
    • Can now process Desert Fossils.
  • Desktop 1.2.3: Now only consumes one silt/slush block. Instead of consuming 2 blocks, extractinating has a chance of giving a smaller amount of money.
