Vacuum Trap

What it is
The Vacuum Trap/$ is a machine used to trap mobs and absorb their essence into a Spawner Core/$, for later use in a Pressurized Spawner/$. To use a Vacuum Trap/$, you will need to do the following steps: • 1. Ensure the Vacuum Trap has -0.5 bar of pressure, or lower. Volume Upgrades/$ are recommended here. Also, if you intend to move the Vacuum Trap around, be sure to wrench it rather than breaking it with a pickaxe, to preserve any stored vacuum. • 2. Insert a non-full Spawner Core/$ to receive captured mobs. • 3. Open the Vacuum Trap door, either by sneak & right-clicking it/$, or by applying a redstone signal. The Vacuum Trap will never capture: • Players • Drones • Boss mobs (Wither, Ender Dragon...) • Tamed animals • Any mob spawned by a vanilla Spawner In addition, you can blacklist mobs by adding their entity ID (e.g. minecraft:zombie/$) to the pneumaticcraft:vacuum_trap_blacklisted/$ entity type tag. If the Vacuum Trap's tank contains at least 100mB of Memory Essence/$, mob absorption efficiency will be greatly increased; instead of contributing 1% to the installed Spawner Core/$'s essence, a captured mob will contribute 2 - 4%, i.e. instead of needing to capture 100 mobs to fill a core, you will only need to capture 25-50 mobs. 100mB of Memory Essence will be used each time a mob is captured.
