Mineral Extractor

The Mineral Extractor is an important machine that collects some of the resources needed for advanced buildings and upgrades.

Some minerals such as ore, gypsum and clay are obtainable by drilling in the Martian surface. However, the colony should also have a Refinery ready to process the ores from the Mineral Extractor. The miner must return to a refinery to process the load.

The Mineral Extractor is needed to maximize farm crop yield, add armor to your housing so that there won't be a damaged compartment by Meteorite showers, dust devils or people dying of radiation poisoning.
