Extractors

Overview Gallery

"Nature is a treasure hoarder."

Extractors are the collective term for buildings crafted in The Lab that are capable of producing Slime Science Resources, which are necessary to construct other Slime Science gadgets. Once placed they cannot be picked up; only demolished.

There are three types of extractors; Drills, Apiaries and Pumps which all yield specific resources. Each extractor can last for a preset amount of cycles depending on the tier it belongs to. All cycles last for 12 in-game hours, and the extractor will perform a dance animation when ready to harvest. If the extractor was on its last cycle it despawns, otherwise it repeats the cycle again. There is currently no way to know how many cycles an extractor has left without memorizing it.

All extractors have a placement limit of 6 of the same type; meaning you can only have 6 Drills, 6 Pumps and 6 Apiaries of any tier at a time.

Slimepedia Entry

Extractors are a special class of Slime Science gadgets that are essential for building all other types of gadgets. Extractors include drills, pumps and apiaries.

Once placed on a build site, the extractor will begin working, collecting resources from the environment over time. Once it is full of resources, an extractor can be emptied. The best extractors can repeat this cycle multiple times before they finally break down.

Each extractor can find exclusive resources if used in the correct zone:
Pumps can find a special resource in the Dry Reef.
Drills can find a special resource in the Indigo Quarry.
Apiaries can find a special resource in the Moss Blanket.
All extractors can find special resources in the Glass Desert.

Extractor tiers

Novice

Novice extractors last for one cycle and produce the lowest amount of resources, and mostly yield common.

Novice Drill	Novice Apiary	Novice Pump

Advanced

Advanced extractors last for three cycles and produce a decent amount of resources with a slightly higher chance to get rarer resources than Novice.

Advanced Drill	Advanced Apiary	Advanced Pump

Master

Master extractors last for nine cycles and produce a decent amount of resources with a better chance of finding rare resources than Advanced.

Master Drill	Master Apiary	Master Pump

7Zee Rewards Club

7Zee extractors last for 12 cycles and boast the highest yield of resources per harvest, with the highest chance to get rare resources.

Tips

• When trying to aim for rare resources, don't place your extractors where you get an additional common resource (for example Indigonium), since that would make the resource pool bigger and lower your chances to obtain rare resources.
• It is recommended to place your drills relatively close to teleporters that lead to the ranch or near the ranch as it allows quick and easy access. If no teleporters are nearby, you can always craft your own. Alternatively, a Refinery Link could also cut down on time.
