SummaryEdit

The rubber tree is used to collect [Resin] which can be used to make Rubber, a very important component of many IndustrialCraft recipes you need it when you first begin your world. Bone meal will not work on Rubbertree Saplings.

CharacteristicsEdit

You can identify a rubber tree by its darker wood, lighter leaves, orange-brown rectangles on the sides, or by the distinctive 3 leaf protrusion upwards from the top wood block.

Collecting ResinEdit

Resin can be collected on the tree by using a Treetap on the resin deposits (the orange-brown rectangles on the wood). Each deposit will drop 1-3 Sticky Resin, and then will be temporarily depleted. If left alone, they will regrow the resin in a few in-game days, but they can also be over tapped by using the treetap again on the depleted deposit. This has a chance of dropping additional Sticky Resin but runs the risk of permanently destroying the deposit.

Rubber WoodEdit

Rubber wood can be placed into a extractor which will then turn each wood block into a piece of rubber. This is a far more efficient way of gathering rubber as you dont have to wait for the resin deposits to respawn and you can just replant the tree from the saplings it drops. The giant rubber trees wood also works exactly the same.

Giant Rubber TreeEdit

There are also giant rubber trees like the one in the picture. These trees are added by RedPower 2, not IndustrialCraft, and aren't fully implemented yet. They don't have any resin deposits.

Other Uses

If place in a industrialcraft extractor they will give you 1 rubber but it's just better to convert it into emc.

BugsEdit

• Even if you're playing on Fast, the leaves have a transparant texture. (fixed?)
