Trying to remove water from it and having no luck short of removing the carpenter. Is there an automatic way to remove the liquid in the Carpenter?
 
There's an item that I think takes two glass panes and one wool and you can suck out small quantities of fluid from machines.

I just wish I could remember what that item was called.

I think the recipe was

blank / blank / glass pane
blank / glass pane / blank
wool / blank / blank

If I wasn't in the middle of updating mods I'd run my client to get the item name. :( Hope that helps. Anyone know what that item is called and what mod adds it?
 
It's called a Pipette and that's the manual way. I want to make it automatic when I have to switch over to another liquid.

EDIT, which Pack are you running? If it's the Ultimate, is RedPower updated to 1.5.X?
 
Meh just pickaxe the damn thing and replace it.... not like water is hard to come by.
 
As far as I know, there's no way to remove fluid from a carpenter without using it all up in recipes, using a pipette, or destroying and replacing it. You're better off just having separate carpenters for different fluids.
 
Well I built another one but besides seed oil and water, what other liquids can go into the Carpenter?

You need honey to craft alveary blocks. So 3 liquids in total, unless I'm forgetting/not aware of something.

EDIT:
Sorry, not alveary blocks. I meant Scented Panelings, which are required to craft alveary blocks.

You can put Creosote Oil in it to create rail ties. If you're playing 1.5 and have Dartcraft, you can fill it with Force to make Force Ingots. And, as Phantom27 mentioned, you can put Honey in it to make Scented Paneling for Alveary blocks.
 
That's 5 fluids, 5 carpenters, 40 bronze, 10 glass, 30 tin. (it's made with tin, right? I forget)

I think you can afford that.
 
I wouldn't recommend using block breakers and deployers to "automate" your system. Carpenters need to know what recipes they need to use. :p

Thanks to our good buddy ol' pal Greg, that 40 bronze will cost 120 copper and 40 tin, or 60 copper and 20 tin if you have an Induction Smelter.

Thanks to our good pal greg that's 7k buckets of lava, or 4,5 if you have an induction smelter.

In other words, one pump, one centrifuge and less than four hours of wiggling your fingers, if you had done it right after you could, then you'd be rolling in copper and tin by now.

Am I really the only person that starts to centrifuge lava right after automating power?

Apparently. o_O I'll try doing that. :P
