Sawmill (Thermal Expansion 5)

The Sawmill is a machine added by Thermal Expansion 5. It is used as a more efficient method of obtaining planks from wood, yielding 6 planks instead of the standard 4 planks in the crafting table recipe. It can also deconstruct many wooden objects into planks.

The Sawmill has one input (blue), a primary output (red) and a secondary output (yellow). These can be changed to different faces using the Configuration menu in the machine's GUI. It is possible to use two faces of the machine for the same output, or have primary and secondary products output to the same face (orange).

Uses
Sawing a log will give one Sawdust as a byproduct in the lower output cell. Sawing other items may result in other byproducts at a percentage chance (for instance, sawing eight Sugar Canes will produce a Pulped Biomass with a 100% chance for two Sugar). Most plant-type items (saplings, crops, etc.) can also be sawed into Pulped Biomass.

Augmentation
A Sawmill can accept the following Augments:

Upgrading
A Sawmill is crafted at the lowest tier (Basic). It can be upgraded to higher tiers using Upgrade Kits. As it is upgraded it is able to use more RF per tick, which allows it to process items faster. Upgrading also adds augment slots, and increases the input and output rate of items and fluids.
