Aura Extractor
Overview
The Aura Extractor is a late-game device used to convert Auralite (shaken from Aurixite) into Auralite Crystals, and Auralite Crystals into Aura.
It is unlocked at Viability/Factory Tier 6, the (currently) final tier.
Mechanics
Assuming the Aura Extractor is not full, Auralite will be attracted globally every few seconds.
More specifically, it's attracted to a occasionally moving glowing spot within the extractor's radius. When Auralite collides with this spot, it is consumed and converted into Auralite Crystal.
Next, click on the Aura Extractor itself. This will allow you to select a target for the nanobot swarm. Drag this target to one of the forming Auralite Crystals, and the nanobots will swarm the crystals, breaking them down into Aura.
Tips
- Because of Auralite's global attraction to the extractor, this could make it inconvenient or impossible to manipulate with launchers and conveyors depending on your factory's positioning. Thus it is suggested that you build your shakers somewhere in the immediate vicinity of the Extractor's radius.
- The Aura Extractor can only be moved when it contains no Auralite Crystals, so either prepare a permanent spot for it or keep that in mind if you intend to move it.
- Aura is a non-physical currency similar to Fluxite, thus ending the chain of (functional) byproducts.
- With enough Aura, you can research Swarm Zoning, making the swarm target crystals automatically.
