Illyrium
Illyrium comes one nugget at a time. Nine nuggets and the best part of an hour make one ingot, and it is worth it.
Finding it
Illyrium Ore is rarer than diamond and needs a diamond pickaxe. Keep the ore block: the machine takes it as it is.
Refining it: four steps
| Step | Machine | In | Out | Time, by default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Smelt | Illyrium Crucible | 1 Illyrium Ore + 2 Tetrium Slag | 1  Dirty Illyrium Ingot |
40 s, 250 mB lava |
| 2. Crush | Any crusher, or a pickaxe | 1 Dirty Illyrium Ingot | 1  Dirty Illyrium Dust |
about 10 s |
| 3. Wash | Illyrium Refinery | 1 Dirty Illyrium Dust + 500 mB water + 1 filter use | 1  Pure Illyrium Dust |
90 s |
| 4. Alloy | Illyrium Crucible | 1 Pure Illyrium Dust + 1 Tetrium Dust | 1  Illyrium Nugget |
60 s, 250 mB lava |
Nine nuggets make an 
Illyrium Ingot by hand. To forge Illyrium in the Combination Forge, fit the 
Illyrium Forge Upgrade.

The dirty metal
The Dirty Illyrium Ingot is useful on its own: it presses the dies that build the Shatter Coin Factory and the Magnetic Centrifuge.
