Compressor

The Compressor is commonly used to craft Advanced Alloys, Carbon Plates, Industrial Diamonds, and Compressed Plantclumps. It can also make snowballs and ice. In addition, it is used for the intermediate stages of crafting many items.

Compressors may be powered by a direct Cable connection, a Single-use Battery, or a RE Battery in the lower slot.

Note: As of v1.337 a pump with a infinite water source under it and a compressor placed directly next to it will pump and compress water into snowballs without the need for cells.
