PneumaticCraft optional#
Compressed air powers all the machines in this mod.
In our packs, the mod is simplified:
• No more explosions: when pressure builds up, the excess air escapes.
• Pressure Chamber: Items can enter and exit through any wall.
• Solar Compressor x4.
• Tooltips: Each block shows what it produces and what it consumes.
Tasks: Tick the checkbox
Rewards: 10 XP
Compressed Iron #
The foundation of the entire mod.
To start: Place the iron ingots on the ground and detonate the TNT next to them.
Later, the pressure chamber will do it without any loss.
