Mods/IHL Tools & Machines

IHL Tools & Machines  is a small addon to Industrial Craft 2, that adds one useful tool and several machines.

Extended water physics
Water sources moving down, when base blocks are broken. Prevent vanilla water source generation in that event (even without CodeChickenCore "finite water" hack). CodeChickenCore is recommended, but unnessesary.

Sticky resin production branch
Create rubber tree gathering sap sack from stick, two strings and leather.

Place a sack correctly on rubber tree trunk, as showed on a picture below:



Soon you see a rubber tree sap drops falling into sack. You can drain sack with ic2 fluid cell or universal fluid cell, or use gregtech or buildcraft pipes or just place evaporator right under it - sack will autoutput at tileentity below it. Use evaporator to convert rubber tree sap to sticky resin item. Conversion rate 100 mB per one sticky resin item. Evaporator crafting recipe:

There is an electric version, that work faster and support upgrades (including ejector upgrade), what give a possibility to automate process. Electric evaporator crafting recipe:

Industrial fan: A machine, that simulate an industrial high pressure fan behavior. Can move any entity in any direction, depended on air flow speed. At least 30 m/s to lift human or zombie and at least 3 m/s to move items. Need a vent ducts to proper work. Air speed in GUI is not an air speed at any point of flow. Actual air speed is dependent on duct length and holes in duct. Currently work only on straight lines. Power consumption of fan is 5 EU per tick (or 100 EU per second, if tps is 20). Crafting:

Handpump and advanced handpump: A tool, that can destroy water and lava source blocks at distance, when it is applied to flow blocks. Water and lava consumed by tool is placed in cells (universal and normal ones) in player inventory. Advanced handpump can fill multi cells at once. Crafting:

Crafting:

GregTech integration
Almost all of tools and machines has its own GregTech alternative recipe, althought they are does not support GT energy net or covers and entirely IC2 machines. Also from version 0.509 addon add several GregTech recipes:
