How to Press Resin into Rubber Using the Compressor
Placing and Powering the Compressor
The Compressor is the machine responsible for turning fluid resin into solid rubber. To build one, assemble the machine at a crafting table using an andesite casing.
Once crafted, place the Compressor near your processing line and establish rotational power:
1. Locate the side connecting shaft on the Compressor block.
2. Place a turning cogwheel against this side shaft to provide the rotational force needed to operate the pressing mechanism.
Supplying Fluid and Outputting Rubber
1. Connect fluid pipes directly to the back of the Compressor block.
2. Pump your collected liquid resin from your storage tanks into the back of the machine.
3. As the machine receives power and fills with resin, it will compress the collected liquid into solid rubber.
Collect the resulting solid rubber from the machine to use in downstream crafting mechanics.
