Appearance

An electric sluice appears similar to a gray tray holding water and standing on legs.

When active, large white particles move about the top of the sluice while smaller white particles descend below it. These effects resemble splashing water, which is reinforced by a splashing sound.

Where Found

An electric sluice is made at the workbench for one steel block, one electric motor, one bucket of water, and ten copper wire. It has no upgrades.
