The Arboreal Extractor is a machine added by the Thermal Expansion mod.

It is used to passively generate Resin, Sap, or Latex when placed next to a tree without requiring any energy. The adjacent log is not consumed by the Arboreal Extractor. This block does not recognize trees with leaves that were manually placed, the leaves must have been naturally grown. However, it is possible to completely remove and replace the logs of the trunk and the Arboreal Extractor will still recognize this as a tree. The logs must match the leaf type.

The Extractor will generate fluid at a rate of 25 mB per 500 ticks except when placed next to a Spruce tree, which increases the rate to 50 mB per 500 ticks. Multiple Extractors can be placed on the same tree, but this increases the cycle length on each Extractor. Two Extractors increases the cycle to 750 ticks, and three or more increases it to 1000 ticks. Multiple adjacent trees on one Extractor does not increase productivity.

Adding fertilizer to the input slot boosts the Arboreal Extractor's production. One Bonemeal gives a 1.5x multiplier for 8 cycles, and one Phyto-Gro gives a 2x multiplier for 16 cycles. This machine has three augmentation slots and can be augmented with Expanded Tank Construction or Integral Components. It has redstone controls which are disabled by default.

The Arboreal Extractor has an internal buffer capacity of 8,000 mB. It will not automatically eject fluid to adjacent pipes or tanks, the target inventory must be configured to pull the fluid.
