The extractor is one of the most important parts |
The extractor is one of the most important parts for mining resources automatically. It is essential for constructing bases and factories, as it '''automates the harvesting of resources''', generating two resources per second when directly attached to it. For example, if the extractor is connected to an Iron deposit and set to Iron with a hammer tool, it will extract Iron from the deposit and place it in an attached bin or spew it out. |
