Helium Extractor is a Production Building which turns Clay and Industrial Lubricant into Helium. It is available in  Empire of the Skies DLC and can be built only in the New World on top of the helium pockets.

Productivity

It takes 15 seconds to produce 1 ton of helium from 1 ton of clay and 1 ton of industrial lubricant so the production rate is 4 tons of helium per minute. Productivity can be changed by adjusting working conditions and using items. With  New World Rising DLC, electricity can also be used to increase the productivity.
