What is Tubes?

Mod Contents:
To start making tubes, you are going to need plastic. The most basic way to get plastic is as follows:
First combine sand, clay, and coal/charcoal to get pellets
Smelt the plastic pellets to get plastic sheets
Finally combine 2 plastic and 1 glass like above to get 8 tubes
If you want more plastic pellets, you can use this method to produce 32 tubes worth of plastic at a time:
Smelt a bucket of milk to get milk curd.
Combine that milk curd with coal/charcoal, gunpowder, and 1 bucket’s worth of water (can use forestry cans and other containers like it) to get 8 plastic pellets.
BuildCraft Users:
You can refine fuel into liquid plastic using the refinery. You get 1 bucket of liquid plastic for 1 bucket of fuel
Combine a bucket of liquid plastic with coal/charcoal to get 8 plastic pellets
MineFactoryReloaded Users:
You can use MFR plastic sheets anywhere Tubes plastic is used.
