Part Builder

The Part Builder is a block added by Tinkers' Construct. It is used to shape most non-metal tool parts, using wooden patterns and raw materials.

Recipe
The texture of the Part Builder will depend on what kind of wood was used to craft it.

Usage
Pressing use on a Part Builder placed in the world will open its GUI. On the right side of the GUI is a helpful description:

"Here you can craft tool parts to fulfill your tinkering fantasies. To craft a part simply put its pattern into the left slot. The two remaining slots hold the material you want to craft your part out of."

The GUI has three slots on the left (for input), an arrow denoting input to output sides, and two slots on the right (for output).

The far left slot has a square icon and is for patterns. If there is a Pattern Chest next to the Part Builder, you can access the contents of the chest from within the Part Builder GUI.

The ingot and cube slots are for raw materials (for example, wooden planks or obsidian blocks). The pattern tooltip will display how much material the part requires. If there are materials in the material slot, the material value will be displayed below. The right side of the tooltip will display useful information about the material, such as its durability, mining level, handle modifier value, and properties.

When enough of the material is present in the Part Builder for the part, the output slot (the big empty slot on the right) will show a preview. Like a vanilla Crafting Table, the materials will not be consumed until the finished part is removed from its slot.

The far right slot with a shard icon is for leftover materials. Historically, patterns in TiCon used smaller material amounts such as 0.5. However, only the shard pattern contains a fraction of a material, so the whole shard mechanism is really only for legacy purposes.
