Mineral extractor

Extractors are a type of workshop item in Fallout 76.

Background
Extractors can be built at claimed public workshops and at or nearby the player character's C.A.M.P. if the corresponding resource deposits are present. There are a variety of extractors, including fusion core, mineral, and junk variants. The color of the machine is determined by what resource it is designed to collect, differentiating one from another.

Characteristics
Crafting plans for the extractors are automatically unlocked by capturing a public workshop for the first time during a Claim Workshop event quest. When connected to power, most extractors produce roughly 25 resources per hour. The extractor type is limited by the resource deposit type. For example, a steel mineral extractor can only be placed on an iron deposit.

Some have a larger output, such as the mineral extractor at the Grafton Steel Yard, which produces double this amount and consumes twice the power. Extractors have a maximum storage capacity which varies from type to type and must be checked and emptied regularly in order for them to continue producing resources.
