Steam Silt Collectors can only be built on a clay patch near a silt generator. They are built by your Projects menu, under the Steam, *not* in a construction site - though the Silt Collector Encasement is built in a construction site, despite being a portable item and not a building. If you try to build and get the message "You aren't near a good source of clay" then move a few feet toward the center of the silt patch, and try to build again. The final product is not portable, only the Encasement is considered a portable item.

Use

Steam Silt Collectors can be loaded with up to 500 wood as fuel. They will then gather 40 silt per teppy minute, consuming 1 wood every 5 minutes. They also seem to pick up some flint occassionally at random .

Repair Cost

Steam Silt Collectors appear to break randomly as opposed to when fuel runs out.

Cost to repair is various amount of:

• 2 Medium Gears
• 8 Small Gears
• 10 Bolt
• 12 Washer
