PneumaticCraft

PneumaticCraft is all about Pressure! These quests won't go over everything the mod has, but will still go over a lot! Please remember to check JEI, read the tooltips and read the PCB:R, they are all very useful. To get started, you'll need to craft some Compressed Iron Ingots! The easiest way to do this is to make a hole in the ground, throw in some iron ingots (or blocks) and then blow it up with some TNT! Some might get lost in the explosion, but that's a risk we'll have to take!

Asks for: Compressed Iron Ingot

The Pressure Chamber is an important multiblock structure made up of Pressure Chamber Walls (The faces can be replaced with Pressure Chamber Glass). The Pressure Chamber can be as small as a 3x3x3 multiblock, or as big as a 5x5x5 multiblock. The blocks required for the 5x5x5 is what's needed to complete this quest. To use the Pressure Chamber you will need to pipe pressure into a Pressure Chamber Valve using the Pressure Tubes you made earlier, remember to put a Security Upgrade into the Pressure Valve. Different recipes require different amounts of pressure. You'll need to be able to input and output items to and from the Pressure Chamber, this is where Pressure Chamber Interfaces come into it. Blue on the outside means it's for importing items, while if gold is on the outside it's for outputing items, place one of each on any face.
