WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Processing Silt with the Chlorophyte Extractinator
A Chlorophyte Extractinator in a Hardmode base or processing area.
Before you go
- Defeat the mechanical bosses.
- A Chlorophyte Extractinator.
- Silt, Slush or Desert Fossil to process.
- Nearby chests and wiring for optional chest input.
Farming steps
- Confirm the mechanical bosses are defeated and place the Extractinator in a safe area.
- Gather Silt, Slush and Desert Fossil saved from excavation.
- Feed a small amount directly to the station to begin processing.
- For larger batches, wire the Extractinator to nearby chests for chest input.
- Activate the station and collect the resulting items from its output.
- Sort Hardmode ores and compare them with the ore tier you need.
- Smelt useful ore into bars and store any surplus.
- Use chest input for a stockpile to reduce repeated inventory handling.
- Clear space for output before processing so results are easy to collect and sort.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat whenever you acquire more eligible input. Ore outcomes vary; this is not a guaranteed source of a named deposit.
Common mistakes
- Using this route before defeating the mechanical bosses; wait for the progression requirement.
- Expecting a particular ore tier; treat results as variable and mine for a specific target if needed.
- Starting with a full inventory or storage; clear space before processing.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the stockpile is processed or you have enough useful bars. Resume after collecting more eligible material.
