This is a port of my original thread on Terraria Online, see it here: "http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/hardmode-extraction-converted-silt-slush.150283/"
As you all know, the Extractinator gets kind of useless when entering the hardmode.
So I was thinking, maybe the "Spirits of the Light and Darkness" that get released when you kill Wall of Flesh are indirectly linked with the hardmode ores and the Crimson/Corruption and Hallow.
So, what about Silt (
) being able to be converted to Pearlsilt (
), Ebonsilt (
) and Crimsilt (
)
And Slush (
) being able to be converted to Pink Slush (
), Purple Slush (
) and Red Slush (
) respectively. The same way other blocks get converted to their respective biome. The conversion could be done a bit slower because of balance reasons.
So what's the use of these new converted Silt/Slush blocks?
They are able to contain Hardmode Ores, just like the fishing crates do when hardmode has been activated.
What's the reason for this?
One of Terraria's strongest points is variety, being able to get ores on a variety of ways helps to keep the pace and you never get bored scavenging your complete cavern layer for just a few Adamant or Titantium ores. Another reason is the initial purpose of the extractinator. To bring a way to get different (hardmode) ores to your world in a way beside fishing.
Why is this balanced?
In order to get these Silt blocks you have 2 choices, the most simple on is going to a converted underground biome and find the converted Silt/Slush. The somewhat harder/more effective way to farm them is to create a hardmode silt farm by placing a ton of gathered Silt down and wait for it to be converted. These two ways should be balanced and add a new reasons to explore old as well as new places as well as a reason to create a farm like this.
That's my idea for so far, someone else had this idea about extractinator upgrades which is pretty good too: Link
Extra.
Perhaps to serve as an alternative or as an inclusion Crimsilt/Red Slush could be able to contain Ichor, Ebonstilt/Purple Slush could be able to contain Cursed Flames and Pearlsilt/Pink Slush could be able to contain Crystal Shards.
Balance has to be found in using the right quantity.
It's also an idea to balance this matter by getting a single ore/gem/item per 5 silt/slush.
Another fun thing is getting an rare chance to get an an unique
Pet Ichor Raptor from Crimsilt and Red Slush.
Pet Cursed Raptor from Ebonsilt and Purple Slush.
Pet Crystal Raptor from Pearlsilt and Pink Slush.
These pets have a slight illumination.
As I am a huge fan of The Corrosion: Link
I decided to give variants of these to my suggestion too, namely the Rotsilt (
) and Green Slush (
)
tl;dr, Add hardmode ores to the extraction table of Hallow/Corruption/Crimson converted Silt/Slush.
