Dust Extractor

The primary Space Dust collection facility. Space Dust is the most abundant resource and fuels nearly all early construction and research.

Generates Space Dust passively over time. Output scales with building level. Because you can run several extractors at once, total Dust throughput is one of the main things you scale across the whole game. Production accrues into your storage until you collect it or hit your cap.

Each level meaningfully increases Dust output. As the cheapest-scaling production building (×1.8 per level), extractors are efficient to keep leveled. Build additional extractors as your Command Center unlocks more slots.
