Clay Minions are a type of Minion that collects Clay.

Description

The Clay Minion recipes are unlocked at Clay I. They can be placed on the Player's Island.

Clay Minions produce and collect clay.

Clay minions are generally used to make money from selling to NPCs. If you are still using this minion for money, put an Enchanted Lava Bucket, Super Compactor 3000, and Diamond Spreading for the most amount of profit. If the player is going for the most money, using the same setup with Snow Minions makes more money when sold to an NPC.

While not the best minion for  Fishing XP, they are significantly cheaper than Fish Minions and, if you don't want to manually fish, Clay Minions are the most convenient way to get a high  Fishing Level.

Note:  Auto Smelter and  Super Compactor 3000 mentioned below are interchangeable with  Dwarven Super Compactor, which can perform the combination of functionalities of the prior two items.
