Netherrack dust is made from grinding netherrack blocks in the grinder, while tar is made by grinding soul sand. Both of these are required constituents of jet fuel due to their hydrocarbon content.

Make 20 stacks of wooden stairs? No problem; various wood items can be put in the grinder and ground into sawdust, which can be made back into wood or, to save sugarcane, into paper.

Bedrock dust is produced when bedrock breakers completely grind away a bedrock block. This is an essential part of the compactor, as bedrock is the only material hard enough to withstand the enormous pressures and temperatures. Additionally, it can be used to craft Bedrock Tools, and the best tier of shafts and gearboxes.

Ore dust, slurry, and solution are intermediate products of the extractor. Slurry and solution require high input shaft speeds and a constant water supply, while the dust requires high input torque. None of these items has any other use.

Ore flakes are the fourth stage output of the extractor. These can be smelted in an ordinary furnace to make ingots or gems of the source ore's material. Creation of this product requires high torque.

Anthracite, Prismane, and Lonsdaleite are intermediate stages of the coal compression process. Anthracite and Lonsdaleite can also be crafted into decorative blocks.

Decorative blocks are made from 9 units of the respective materials, such as steel, anthracite, or lonsdaleite. They have no functional purpose.

Blast Glass is made by smelting obsidian in a pulse jet furnace, and while transparent like glass, will resist nearly any explosion. Like ordinary glass, the blocks can also be crafted into blast glass panes.

If you are lucky enough to dig through a dungeon, mineshaft, or stronghold with a Boring machine or Pile Driver, the spawner, rather than being completely destroyed, will drop as a usable item, and will retain its mob type. This is an invaluable asset for mob farms, especially when combined with the spawner controller.

Yeast is cultivated in the fermenter by adding sugar and water to dirt. It grows best at temperatures between 20 and 40 degrees, peaking at 25 degrees. Outside this range, it will grow slowly or not at all. Be careful - at temperatures above 60C, yeast will die. Ethanol sludge is made from adding yeast to plant matter and water. It is created most rapidly at around 35C.

Ethanol crystals can be made by drying out ethanol sludge in a furnace. These crystals can then be used as fuel in the ethanol and performance engines.

A bedrock ingot is used in the crafting of bedrock tools.

Silver ingots are used to make silver compounds. Silver is an occasional bonus from the extractor when processing gold.

Salt is made from seawater, and is a source of iodine.

Ammonium Nitrate is a useful ingredient in explosives.

Silver iodide is made from silver and iodine (from salt), and is used by the machine of the same name to induce rain.

Aluminum powder can be used with iron ingots to start a thermite reaction in the firestarter, providing more heat than any other fuel. It is an occasional bonus from the extractor when processing iron.

Railgun ammunition is made from a ferromagnetic core and surrounded with heavy materials. Denser materials mean a more damaging impact. Each tier is crafted from adding mass to the previous one.

Projector Slides are inserted into the projector to display images. They can be crafted with dyes to create each other.

Explosive Shells are alternative ammunition for the railgun. They are cheaper to make, but deal less damage to entities hit by them, and are more destructive to the terrain around them.

Ethanol Minecarts are faster, more powerf ul, more intelligent versions of powered minecarts. They can push other minecarts, and run on ethanol.
