== Overview ==
The Aura Extractor is a late-game device used to convert [[Auralite]] (shaken from [[Aurixite]]) into [[Auralite Crystal|Auralite Crystals]], and [[Auralite Crystal|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 Crystal|Auralite Crystals]], and the nanobots will swarm the crystals, breaking them down into Aura.

== Tips ==
* Because of [[Auralite|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 Crystal|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 [[Research|Swarm Zoning]], making the swarm target crystals automatically.

== Overview ==
[[Gold]] is used to [[Research]] new technologies, and so is one of the two major materials required for early to mid game progression (the other being [[Fluxite]]). [[Gold]] can be obtained as a byproduct of most processing in the game. In order to be counted towards the player's bank, [[Gold]] must be stored in [[Collector]] blocks.

== Mechanics ==

[[Gold]] can also be smelted into [[Liquid Gold]] to save space and still count as currency if stored in [[Collector]] blocks.

One pixel of [[Gold]] is worth 4 units of its currency, and one pixel of [[Liquid Gold]] is worth twice that at 8.

== Tips ==
[[Gold]] is the heaviest pixel in the game and so will always fall the bottom of a pile, making it easy to filter out.

The conversion of [[Sand]] to [[Gold]] is approximately 2 [[Sand]] = 3 [[Gold]] after fully processing.

Considering the difference in [[Gold]] density between solid and [[Liquid Gold]], unlocking the [[Achievements#Heliodyne_Tycoon|Heliodyne Tycoon]] achievement requires 62,500 (250x250) or 31,250 (~177x177 or 125x250) full [[Collector|Collectors]] respectively.

== Overview ==
[[Gold]] is used to [[Research]] new technologies, and so is one of the two major materials required for early to mid game progression (the other being [[Fluxite]]). [[Gold]] can be obtained as a byproduct of most processing in the game. In order to be counted towards the player's bank, [[Gold]] must be stored in [[Collector]] blocks.

== Tips ==
[[Gold]] is the heaviest pixel in the game and so will always fall the bottom of a pile, making it easy to filter out.

The conversion of [[Sand]] to [[Gold]] is approximately 2 [[Sand]] = 3 [[Gold]] after fully processing.

[[Gold]] can also be smelted into [[Liquid Gold]] to save space and still count as currency if stored in [[Collector]] blocks.

One pixel of [[Gold]] is worth 4 units of its currency, and one pixel of [[Liquid Gold]] is worth twice that at 8.

Considering this, unlocking the "Heliodyne Tycoon" achievement (1,000,000 [[Gold]]) requires 62,500 (250x250) or 31,250 (~177x177 or 125x250) full [[Collector|Collectors]] respectively.
