Micro Blocks

The Wiring Module also adds the ability to craft sub-blocks and covers; in order to craft these you will need a handsaw. An Iron Handsaw will work for soft materials, but for the hardest blocks you will need a Diamond Handsaw. If you have Redpower World installed, you may also use Rubies, Sapphires or Emeralds, all of which will allow you to cut many more blocks than with Iron. However, only a Diamond Handsaw may cut Obsidian, Diamond Blocks, or Gem Blocks. Using these handsaws it is possible to craft slabs, panels and covers, along with strips and corners of each size. Pillars, posts, columns and hollow blocks may additionally be crafted without the use of a handsaw.

Sub-Blocks are recoverable by hand, though a pickaxe is usually faster. This comes in handy when making glass structures as normal glass cannot be harvested, but glass-based sub blocks can.

If they are placed between two planned uninsulated red alloy wires, the wires will not connect because the subblock is in the way. as I said the Subblock (Cover or thinner) must be placed before placing the wire, because otherweise the crossconnecting wire will block the space for the subblock. However a subblock will not prevent placement of red alloy wire in the same blockspace, only the connection through the subblock. Connection in all other direction are still possible.

To make a hollow piece, first slice vertically until you have covers. Then arrange 8 covers in a square, like when making a chest. This will give you 8 hollow covers. You can then combine them in numbers from 1-7 to make any shape. In order to make a hollow full block, you must make two separate hollow slabs (4 hollow covers each) and place them next to each other. If you put all 8 hollow covers on the crafting table, you'll get a full, normal block in return, rather than a full hollow block.

To make a pillar, post or column, simply place a strip of the appropriate size into the crafting grid by itself. This recipe works both directions, in case you want to recover some strips.
