Xy Ice turns any water that touches it into ice, and can be used for very compact thermopile's. Xy water produces a infinite supply of water when set beside a XyCraft Multitank Valve and the valve is part of a complete tank. The one made from Red Gems is basically Netherrack that you don't need to go to the nether for(I heard it'll be more useful later), and the Liquid Void makes liquids which enter it never exist(much like BC Void Pipes, except the Liquid Void works only with Multitanks I think), the item IO is used actually for autocrafting things which require liquids, which as you know will empty from the bucket you have it in when you craft the item, meaning you have to go fill the bucket again, slowing down automatic crafting of that item. Using the item IO will allow you to autocraft any number of items which require, say, buckets of water. Combined with the Fabricator, which is basically a autocrafting table on steroids, meth, speed, and COCAINE! It crafts stuff really friggin' fast. I think it can automatically pull items out of a chest next to it, and has three redstone modes(craft like a junky until you give it a redstone signal, craft like a junky when you give it a redstone signal, and craft like a junky you have to wake up every time you want a new item with a redstone pulse)
Valves should be covered already, and if not, they are used to turn a bunch of blocks into a tank. Railcraft tanks can hold more for a tank of equal size IIRC, but Xycraft tanks are way cheaper, and have a dial which goes up to 11, where as Railcraft's dial only goes up to ten.(aka Xycraft Multitanks can be a bit bigger)
MY QUESTION IS, oh sorry, too loud? My question is "how the balls do I get baby villagers? I tried offing half a village once and they never made a single child, but I also once had a village making babies 24/7 once, for no reason. The second example was a long time ago, and was a vanilla bug, though, which had led me to believe that they(Mojang) had had all the Testificates Chemically Sterilized.[DOUBLEPOST=1363756112][/DOUBLEPOST]
The hole side is actually for pumping out sludge. The chest will work anywhere next to the harvester.
And yes, they are VERY powerful with a planter. Steves Carts tree farms? Pfft, I use Minefactory. Much faster, produces a handy byproduct, and hot damn is it easier.
