I still don't know what exactly unlocks the black treasure pod, but since extractor cycles are the thing that might unlock them, you can do this like I did:

On the first day, plant 6 advanced apiaries.

On the second day, collect resources from those 6 advanced apiaries and plant 6 advanced drills.

On the third day,  collect resources from those 6 advanced apiaries and drills and plant 6 advanced pumps.

Then on the fourth day collect resources from extractors and plant apiaries, then on the fifth day drills, then on the sixth day pumps, then on the seventh day apiaries and so on.

Even though it literally requires you to create a plort factory from your ranch (You have to collect 120 pink plorts daily and plorts of other slimes needed for specific extrators), this nets you with 18 extractor cycles done daily! I did this and after less than two in-game weeks got the MKIII treasure cracker.
