Rubber Tree (MineFactory Reloaded)
The MineFactory Reloaded Rubber Tree grows similarly to an Oak tree, but with darker green leaves and a smoother, slightly ruddy trunk. It is most common in swamp areas, but can also be found in most biomes. Unlike the IC2 Rubber Tree, this Rubber Tree must be cut down to harvest the Rubber. A single Rubber will drop along with each Rubber Wood.
Usage
Most noticeably, one receives Rubber from the tree, which can be smelted into a Rubber Bar. This Rubber Bar can then be used in MineFactory Reloaded recipes and also in place of IndustrialCraft 2's Rubber in recipes such as Insulated Copper Cable.
It is also possible to centrifuge the resulting Rubber Wood in the Industrial Centrifuge. Placing 16 Rubber Woods into the Industrial Centrifuge, along with 5 Empty Cells, results in 8 Sticky Resin, 1 Methane Cell, 4 Carbon Cells, and 6 Plantballs.
When used in a Sawmill, one will receive 4 Jungle Planks, as well as having a 33% chance of receiving a Sticky Resin. Rubber wood, when processed in an Industrial Sawmill, produces 1 sticky resin and 16 wood pulp per wood. There exist no Rubber Wood Planks, so the wood becomes Jungle Planks.
It can also be used as fuel, either in a Furnace, Generator, or with a Steam Boiler powered by a Solid Fueled Firebox. It may also be smelted into Charcoal, with that fuel being used where appropriate. In addition, the wood can either be used to build with as is, or can be crafted by itself into planks.
