== Ichor Extraction Machine ==
[[File:Poppy Extracting.png|thumb|[[Poppy]] extracting a machine]]
The '''Ichor Extraction Machines''' are used to progress through the [[floors]] in the game. They're spawned at specific points on the map (randomly placed between these spots) that vary floor-to-floor. There is a minimum of 4 per floor, but further along more machines will be spawned, scaling slower or faster depending on the number of players in your lobby. 

The machines are filled by doing an E/Tap action to begin turning the valve, and are considered "completed" when the [[Ichor]] fills the whole tank and the light turns green. You can exit filling them by pressing E or the "Stop Extracting" button. You also will be booted off the machine if a [[Twisted]] spots you. Do note that you are unable to leave a machine during a [[Machines#Skill Checks|Skill Check]], unless kicked out by a Twisted. This can prove dangerous if you accidentally interact with a machine during a chase and a Skill Check happens at the same time, as Twisteds only make you cancel working on a machine the moment you are spotted.

If you or a teammate successfully finish extracting a machine, you will earn between 0 and 5 Ichor and up to 10 [[tapes]] depending on the percentage you contributed to its progression.

==Extraction Speed==
All the times shown below are without any [[trinkets]], [[items]], [[cards]], great Skill Checks or {{CI|Shelly|name=true}}'s {{AI|Shelly}} '''Inspiration''' [[ability]] <small>(Times for [[Toons]] with passive abilities are included, however)</small>.

{{Star}}/0.75 | These Toons are the slowest at extracting, taking 60 seconds to finish a machine. Currently the only Toons with one star Extraction Speed are {{CI|Shrimpo|name=true}}, {{CI|Pebble|name=true}} and {{CI|Razzle & Dazzle}} [[Razzle]] (odd floors)

{{Star}}{{Star}}/0.85 | These Toons, while not as slow, take ~52.9 seconds to finish a machine. The following Toons with two star Extraction Speed are {{CI|Blot|name=true}}, {{CI|Goob|name=true}}, {{CI|Coal|name=true}}, {{CI|Flutter|name=true}}, {{CI|Tisha|name=true}}, {{CI|Sprout|name=true}}, {{CI|Toodles|name=true}}, {{CI|Bobette|name=true}}, {{CI|Cocoa|name=true}} and {{CI|Bassie|name=true}}. Tisha, Bobette and Toodles are not as hindered with their low extraction speed as Tisha and Bobette provide an extra star in skill check meanwhile Toodles has an active ability that can either boost their skill check or extraction speed by 15%, although it is not guaranteed. This stat distribution makes their extraction time comparable to a 3 Star Extraction Speed Toon without considering Trinkets.

{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}/1.00 | This is the "default" Extraction Speed, as the majority of Toons have three stars. Machines take 45 seconds to complete with an exception being {{CI|Boxten|name=true}}, since his passive ability includes himself, making him always extract in 42.5 seconds if he is the last Toon standing. {{CI|Eggson|name=true}} is also an exception with his passive which allows him to complete machines in about 40.5 seconds.

{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}/1.20 | There are currently only four Toons with four stars in Extraction Speed, being {{CI|Brightney|name=true}}, {{CI|Rodger|name=true}}, {{CI|Connie|name=true}} and {{CI|Flyte|name=true}}. As such, they extract one machine in 37.5 seconds.

{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}/1.50 | Toons with five stars in Extraction Speed have to at least sacrifice two stars in other stats <small>(If they aren't a [[Main Character]])</small> and thus are often oriented toward extraction. Currently, Dazzle (even floors), {{CI|Glisten|name=true}}, {{CI|Yatta|name=true}}, and {{CI|Vee|name=true}} have five stars and extract a machine in 30 seconds.

Boxten's passive ability gives the following Extraction Speed for 2-8 players going upwards: 40.2, 38.1, 36.3, 34.6, 33.1, 31.7, and lastly 30.4 seconds for all Toons alive.

==Skill Checks==
[[File:Poppy Skill Check.png|thumb|A Skill Check appearing while extracting]]
Skill Checks are a task that occur when filling an [[Ichor]] machine. You have to press the space bar or the "Skill Check" button on screen when the red line is in the white or gold block to successfully complete it. The lower the Skill Check [[stat]] a [[Toon]] has, the smaller the block will be. Failing a Skill Check will halt the progression of the machine momentarily, and any [[Twisteds]] nearby will be alerted and run to the machine unless they are already in a chase. To prevent [[Twisteds]] from hearing you you can use [[Blot]]'s trinket [[Mime Makeup]] which you can earn by gainning 100% research on [[Twisted Blot]]. 

The white section of the Skill Check will have a smaller, gold section within it which scales in size with the white section. Hitting this smaller section successfully will add completion to the machine proportionate to the Toon's Skill Check stat, and reduces extraction time by the Toon's Skill Check Value in seconds. {{CI|Shelly|name=true}} and {{CI|Gigi|name=true}}, who have the highest Skill Check stat, will add the most completion upon hitting the gold section while {{CI|Bassie|name=true}}, {{CI|Blot|name=true}}, {{CI|Cosmo|name=true}}, and {{CI|Shrimpo|name=true}}, who have the lowest, will add the least.

Independent of {{TI|Magnifying Glass|name=true}}, the extraction time reduction for each "Great" Skill Check is:

{{Star}}/1.0 | -1.0 second(s); adds 2.2% machine completion  <small>([[Bassie]], [[Blot]], [[Cosmo]], [[Shrimpo]])</small>

{{Star}}{{Star}}/1.5 | -1.5 seconds; adds 3.3% machine completion <small>([[Astro]], [[Coal]], [[Connie]], [[Flutter]], [[Flyte]], [[Glisten]], [[Scraps]], [[Sprout]])</small>

{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}/2.0 | -2.0 seconds; adds 4.4% machine completion <small>([[Boxten]], [[Brightney]], [[Cocoa]], [[Eggson]], [[Ginger]], [[Goob]], [[Poppy]], [[Razzle & Dazzle]], [[Rodger]], [[Rudie]], [[Pebble]], [[Teagan]], [[Toodles]], [[Yatta]])</small>

{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}/2.5 | -2.5 seconds; adds 5.5% machine completion <small>([[Bobette]], [[Finn]], [[Looey]], [[Tisha]], [[Vee]])</small>

{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}{{Star}}/3.0 | -3.0 seconds; adds 6.6% machine completion <small>([[Shelly]], [[Gigi]])</small>

After hitting a Skill Check, there will be a window of 2 seconds where no Skill Checks will occur, even with a 100% or higher Skill Check chance <small>(100% or higher Skill Check chance is possible with 3 [[Items|Skill Check Candies]] or with just 2 if [[Participation Award]] is equipped, [[Items|Jawbreakers]] can provide a 50% increase but are not guaranteed to give this boost)</small>. However, after the grace period, a Skill Check could appear immediately.

One of {{CI|Twisted Astro|name=true}}'s abilities is activated by failed Skill Checks. If one is failed on a [[floor]] he is on and he is not already in a chase, he will beeline to the machine and ''will ONLY'' stop if noticing a player. If he makes it to the machine, he will remove half of the completion from it, forcing you to spend more time filling it back up again.

It should be noted that Skill Checks can prove dangerous as they prevent the player from voluntarily vacating the machine without alerting nearby Twisteds: If a Twisted spots you  ''before'' you begin extraction and a Skill Check appears, you will not automatically detach from the machine, making it much more likely that you get hit. If you do choose to fail the check, more Twisteds might follow.

*If a dangerous Twisted <small>(i.e long-ranged Twisteds such as [[Twisted Gigi]]/[[Twisted Goob]]/[[Twisted Scraps]])</small> approaches during a Skill Check, you will be unable to escape without alerting them.
*If a teammate is being chased by a Twisted and runs past you, you will not automatically detach from the machine until the Twisted switches targets. Skill Checks can prevent you from detaching ahead of time, wasting valuable seconds you could have spent escaping.
* Skill Checks can reduce your reaction time if a teammate is in danger. However, they can also be helpful! Failed Skill Checks can be used to lure Twisteds away from teammates or prioritized objectives, especially if Vee is on the floor. Do take caution as they will immediately cause alerted Twisteds to start running and potentially switch directions; this can take teammates by surprise and get them injured.

== Trinkets ==
{{Preference}}
Many [[Trinkets]] activate when extracting machines.

* {{TI|Vee's Remote|name=true}} instantly completes the first machine that the user extracts on a floor, as long as under half of machines have been completed. This is useful for toons with bad extraction speed or high stealth, so they can either finish a machine quickly or do so near a distractor's area respectively.
* {{TI|Machine Manual|name=true}} boosts extraction speed by 5%. It is more useful for faster extractors, but overall not the greatest use of a trinket slot.
* {{TI|Blue Bandana|name=true}} boosts extraction speed by 7.5%, but decreases Skill Check chance by 5%. This is more useful on toons with higher extraction speed and lower Skill Check stats.

* {{TI|Party Popper|name=true}} is a trinket that highlights nearby twisteds when you start extracting a machine for 5 seconds. This trinket can be "abused" by exiting and entering the machine when the effect wears off. It is helpful on almost any Toon.
* {{TI|Wrench|name=true}} adds 33% completion to the first machine you do on a floor, regardless of how many machines have already been completed. This trinket is more useful on slower extractors.
* {{TI|Magnifying Glass|name=true}} gives more completion for successful Skill Checks, at the cost of 33% of your Skill Check size. This is more useful on toons with high Skill Checks, as you can more easily hit the reduced Skill Checks and gain a lot of completion from them.
* {{TI|Participation Award|name=true}} adds 25% Skill Check chance to the user, making it 50%. (unless using a Skill Check Candy or {{TI|Blue Bandana|name=true}}.) This is especially useful when paired with {{TI|Magnifying Glass|name=true}}, assuming you can hit smaller Skill Checks. Note, this trinket shouldn't be used alone on toons with 2 star or lower Skill Check as it increases the already hard Skill Checks, and barely gives a completion boost. It is most efficiently used alone as a toon with 4 star Skill Check or higher. 
* {{TrinketIcon|Star Pillow|name=true}} gives 100% more stamina regeneration when on a machine, which overall does not have much of a use on higher speed toons. It is mildly useful on lower speed toons, however. 
==Tips==

*An easy way to look for the location of a machine is to simply look up and find a long, grey, metal pipe with black bands that goes up to the ceiling, or look for a red glowing circle with a black line in the middle around {{CI|Twisted Looey|name=true}}'s height, as all machines have these two features, although the latter only applies to incomplete machines.
*Make sure there aren't any [[Twisteds]] nearby when you're extracting [[Ichor]], as some machine spots can make it tricky to run away from Twisteds without losing a heart. Try to not fail Skill Checks as that will make nearby Twisteds head to the machine.
*Leave or 'prime/99' <small>(Extracting a machine to near completion and then saving it for last)</small> the nearest machine to the [[elevator]] to be finished last as it gives you and/or your teammates more time to get to the elevator when they are done extracting that machine. This is a highly recommended strategy so that slower [[Toons]] (i.e. {{CI|Shrimpo|name=true}} or {{CI|Rodger|name=true}}) don't die to the [[Panic Mode]] timer, or just any Toons in general.
*Try not to lead any [[Twisteds]] to your teammates when they are extracting a machine, because depending on their Stealth, the Twisted's attention may be diverted and chase that teammate instead. 
**To be safe, always let {{CI|Astro|name=true}}, {{CI|Toodles|name=true}}, {{CI|Connie|name=true}}, {{CI|Ginger|name=true}}, {{CI|Cosmo|name=true}}, {{CI|Cocoa|name=true}} or {{CI|Bassie|name=true}} extract machines out in the open, near distractors, or in risky spots since they have high Stealth.
*Extracting machines gives you [[Ichor]], so playing as a [[Toon]] with a high Extraction Speed is generally a good way to get Ichor quickly.
**Although, Toons with high Skill Checks (Such as {{CI|Shelly|name=true}} or {{CI|Gigi|name=true}}) with {{TI|Participation Award|name=true}} and/or {{TI|Magnifying Glass|name=true}} may be more efficient, and safer if you cannot hit Skill Checks consistently.
* To inform your teammates that someone is on the last machine or will be soon, make sure to communicate. Many players use the acronym 'gte' <small>(Sometimes said 'g2e')</small> or 'get to [[elevator]]' to give others a heads-up. This warning is crucial for slower [[Toons]] or when {{CI|Twisted Glisten|name=true}} is on the [[floor]], but it's good practice to always use it.
* When {{CI|Twisted Glisten|name=true}} is on the floor, usually there would be someone to "babysit/comfort" him if it is a run with other people, once someone is on the last machine, sometimes people use the acronym 'gafg/GAFG,' which means 'get away from glisten'. This is important to the person who is babysitting him, because once all the machines are finished, Twisted Glisten becomes hostile and his speed is very fast when running to the player to attack them. So the player who is comforting Twisted Glisten must be informed otherwise it would be hard for them to escape his LOS and he will catch up very quickly.
*{{CI|Vee|name=true}}'s passive ability can be beneficial as she can see if the last machine on the [[floor]] is occupied and its completion amount.
*After a Skill Check, if the Toon gets off the machine and immediately continues extracting again, the Grace Period between Skill Checks seems to be ignored. One may take advantage of this to increase the amount of Skill Checks they get; increasing machine completion using them and hence completing machines faster.
*More stars for Extraction lets you finish machines faster than more stars for Skill Check. Therefore, prioritise toons with high Extraction if you want to finish machines faster. Ie. Yatta is faster than Gigi/Shelly, Flyte is faster than Tisha, Brightney/Rodger is faster than Looey, etc.

==Machine Number Scaling Per Floor==
Throughout [[floors]], the number of machines will always begin at 4. Depending on the number of players in the [[elevator]] as the room gets generated, the number of machines will increase the higher the floor. Machine number can decrease if players leave. For example, 4 players generate floor 6, so it would have 5 machines, then 3 die. Floor 7 will now have 4 machines despite having a higher number on the last floor.

The following table may include inaccuracies and gaps as research is not yet complete.

<br>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ctXg7dDPV23GBjK8chTWCFsgiAsa0eq434iATsOZNNs/edit?usp=sharing Google Sheet of Cricketpawz's research on machines and Twisteds per floor]

==Appearance ==
Each machine is composed of a translucent slightly grey glass cylinder, a black tube that connects the machine to the ceiling, a red extraction valve/handle and a red light that turns green upon completion. The valve's default state resembles a circle with an upside-down letter 'Y' in the middle.

Machines occupied by [[Twisted Connie]] exhibit different traits. They will occasionally rattle, their lights may flicker blue, and (most notably) their handles will resemble circles with right side up 'Y's' in the center instead of upside-down.<!-- can someone explain this part --><!-- what part isnt clear -->

==Trivia ==               
*A machine needs 500/11 or 45.45… units to be completed. If we do the math, for each second:
**1{{Star}} extraction adds 25/33 units per second
**2{{Star}} extraction adds 85/99 units per second
**3{{Star}} extraction adds 100/99 units per second
**4{{Star}} extraction adds 40/33 units per second 
**5{{Star}} extraction adds 50/33 units per second
*The maximum number of machines that can spawn on a [[Floor]] is 20.
*Since [[Ichor]] is pumped down into the machines' tanks from above, it can be inferred that the goal is to move Ichor lower into the building.
*There are currently 13 [[Toons]] that have different extracting animations compared to other Toons who use both of their arms to extract. 
**{{CI|Cosmo|name=true}} only uses his left arm to extract.
**{{CI|Razzle & Dazzle}} [[Razzle]] extracts normally meanwhile [[Dazzle]] looks in another direction.
**{{CI|Coal|name=true}}, {{CI|Flutter|name=true}}, and {{CI|Pebble|name=true}} use their legs to fill the machine as they lack hands and arms. Coal and Pebble extract by turning the wheel with their front legs, while Flutter kicks the valve.
**{{CI|Astro|name=true}} uses his magic to extract due to his arms being hidden in his blanket.
**{{CI|Goob|name=true}} uses his claws one at a time during his extraction animation.
**{{CI|Rodger|name=true}} kneels down while he's extracting.
**{{CI|Toodles|name=true}} rolls the wheel and jumps slightly in excitement while extracting.
**{{CI|Shrimpo|name=true}} bangs his head against the machine repeatedly.
**{{CI|Flyte|name=true}} uses his wings to extract.
**{{CI|Eggson|name=true}} will hit the machine with his cane then use solely his right hand to extract the rest.
**{{CI|Vee|name=true}} uses her right arm to extract.
*Pressing the 'Stop Extracting' button right before a Skill Check appears will pause your extraction for a few seconds as if you failed the Skill Check, but will not alert nearby [[Twisteds]].
*The Skill Check chance of 267% is the reasonable maximum with {{TI|Participation Award|name=true}}, {{TI|Lucky Coin|name=true}} giving the Skill Check boost, 3 {{II|Jawbreaker}} [[Items|Jawbreakers]] in your inventory and a 4th on the ground next to a machine, though the odds one Jawbreaker on the floor next to a machine let alone all four of them giving the Skill Check buff is extremely unlikely and useless with the 2 second grace period between Skill Checks.
*The sound cue Skill Checks make is an edited version of the Discord notification sound, which is pitched down, slowed slightly and reverbed.
*The machines were originally called '[https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Generators Generators]' in early release due to the game's inspiration from [https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Dead_by_Daylight Dead by Daylight]. Though, this was later changed.
*The only two [[Twisteds]] to directly affect Machines are {{CI|Twisted Astro|name=true}} and {{CI|Twisted Connie|name=true}}. However, [[Twisted Finn]], [[Twisted Vee]], [[Twisted Dandy]], and [[Twisted Glisten|Twisted Glisten's]] effects activate in accordance with Machine mechanics.
*The dripping particle used for extracting on a machine is a blacked out version of a texture from [https://www.roblox.com/games/9342644342/Flavor-Frenzy-Tower-Defense Flavor Frenzy], being [https://flavorfrenzy.fandom.com/wiki/Roquefort Roquefort]'s critical damage icon.
*When failing a Skill Check with {{TI|Mime Makeup|name=true}}, the text that pops up will display: "This time, they can't hear you-". This is different from what the default text for failing a Skill Check without {{TI|Mime Makeup|name=true}} will show: "Be careful! They can hear you..."
*Extraction speed and seconds taken are inversely proportional. Ie. The formula to get time taken is <math>\frac{45}{extraction speed}</math>.
*[[Bassie]] and [[Blot]] are the second slowest toons when it comes to extracting, only having 1{{Star}} for Skill Check and 2{{Star}} for Extraction.
**Shrimpo is the slowest, only having one star for each statistic.
