PneumaticCraft: Repressurized FAQ

Craft an Air Compressor, feed it fuel like coal or biodiesel, and connect it to machines with Pressure Tubes. Use an Air Canister to store and move air, and always add a Pressure Gauge or Security Upgrade so your tubes don't explode from overpressure.

Tubes burst when pressure exceeds their safe limit, which happens if you don't regulate your compressor or use weak tubes for high-pressure lines. Install a Pressure Gauge, add a Regulator or Safety Valve, and upgrade to Advanced Pressure Tubes for high-pressure networks.

Compressed Iron is made by placing Iron Ingots in a Pressure Chamber and applying enough pressure. You'll need a Pressure Chamber Wall, Valve, and Interface set up, plus a compressor feeding it air.

Drones are programmed with a Programmable Controller and a Drone item, using puzzle-piece widgets for movement, item handling, and conditions. Place the drone in the controller's GUI, arrange the program, then deploy the drone to run it.

Place the item in a Charging Station connected to your pressure network, or use a Charging Module in your inventory. The station refills the item's air from the network so you can keep using the jetpack, drills, and other tools.

Grow or gather plants, then process them through the Refinery and related machines to produce Biodiesel. Biodiesel fuels your compressors and generators, and it's more efficient than burning raw coal.

The Amadron Tablet lets you trade items with other players or NPC offers through the Amadron system. Open it to browse offers, then confirm a trade — drones will deliver the goods to your location or a designated drop point.

Place an Assembly Controller, Assembly Platform, and Assembly IO Units, then load Assembly Programs like Drill or Laser into the controller. Feed in ingredients via the import IO unit and the line will craft items automatically.

PneumaticCraft is generally compatible with tech mods and uses Forge energy and fluid standards where applicable. Drones and large pressure networks can cause lag, so keep programs simple and avoid excessive chunk-loaded drone activity.

Drones get stuck when their program has no valid path or the target block is unreachable. Add condition checks, keep flight paths clear of obstacles, and use a Programmable Controller to debug by watching the drone's status in the GUI.
