Extracting Menril Resin with the Squeezer and Menril Logs

guide

Harvesting Menril Timber and Berries

Acquiring raw organic fluids requires locating vibrant menril trees scattered across temperate overland plains.

  • Felling these turquoise trees yields dense logs of Menril Log, which contain high concentrations of natural sap.
  • Striking rarer radiant trunks yields glowing Enriched Menril Log blocks, packing even greater fluid volume per harvest.
  • Breaking lush blue foliage clusters drops handfuls of sweet Menril Berries, useful for quick snacks and liquid extraction.
  • Always collect fallen saplings to replant sustainable tree farms near your workshop before processing raw timber.
  • Stockpiling unprocessed logs in large chests ensures uninterrupted fluid extraction runs when setting up initial machinery.
  • Managing dedicated tree plantations provides an endless supply of wood and sap for technological progression.

Operating the Manual Squeezer Press

Extracting liquid resin from raw organic wood requires applying physical mechanical compression.

  • Placing a wooden Squeezer press onto the ground establishes your primary early-game fluid extraction station.
  • Placing a single Menril Log onto the center plate primes the press for compression.
  • Jumping repeatedly on top of the press pushes the heavy stone weight downward, crushing the timber completely.
  • Crushing raw timber expels fluid sap while occasionally yielding extra shards of Crystallized Menril Chunk.
  • Scooping the expelled liquid with an empty bucket fills an essential Menril Resin Bucket for downstream processing.
  • Manual squeezing allows beginners to obtain initial sap reserves without needing electrical power generators.

Automating with Mechanical Squeezers

Manual jumping becomes exhausting during large-scale manufacturing, necessitating automated industrial machinery.

  • Constructing an electric Mechanical Squeezer replaces human labor with consistent mechanical motor power.
  • Positioning an automated press adjacent to a standard Drying Basin allows extracted resin to flow directly across.
  • Upgrading both machines into an automated line with a Mechanical Drying Basin creates a closed-loop crystal generator.
  • Linking the production line with glowing Logic Cable networks allows players to track throughput and fluid levels.
  • Establishing an automated squeezing setup provides inexhaustible resin supplies for crafting advanced logical processors.
  • Continuous automated processing eliminates manual labor, letting engineers focus on building intricate logic computers.
