+Fuel is a liquid which can be burned by [Combustion Engine]s to produce energy. At 60 RF/t, it is the most effective
+fuel source, but also produces considerably more heat than Oil. It may be obtained by converting [1000mB Oil] in a
+[Refinery]. This process is so energy efficient that you can start an engine with a single bucket of oil and it will
+continuously general more fuel than is needed to sustain the conversion of the remaining fuel.

+Oil is a naturally-occuring liquid added by BuildCraft. While it can be burned in a [Combustion Engine] to produce
+30RF/t, it is much more adventageous to convert it to [1000mB Fuel] using a [Refinery] as fuel both produces more power
+per tick and burns longer.
+
+While not particularly common, Oil can be found in large spouts in ocean, desert, and swamp biomes. The spouts come in
+different sizes, with the larger above-ground portion indicating larger oil deposits below ground. Each spout can
+produce hundreds or even thousands of buckets of oil. The best way to remove oil is to use a [Pump] to extract it, and convert it directly into fuel.

+The Assembly Table is used to make various chipsets, gates, wires, and other electronic parts.  Right-clicking opens the
+interface:
+
+|              |
+|:------------:|
+| ![](gui.png) |
+
+
+You can place the input items on the left, and the available output items appear on the right.  All assembly table
+recipes are shapeless, and there may even be extra input items present.
+
+Output items are chosen by clicking one or more items on the right. If powered, the assembly table will immediately
+begin creating the selected item. The item currently being created will be selected in bright red while the future items
+to be created will be selected in dark red.
+
+As the assembly table works, the power meter in the center will gradually fill up. Once it reaches the top, the item is
+finished and will pop off the assembly table. If there's an inventory or pipe nearby, the finished item will be placed
+into it; otherwise, the item will fly off into the room.
+
+# Providing Power
+
+Powering an assembly table requires the use of one or more lasers placed anywhere within a few blocks. These must be
+connected (via kinesis pipes) to some source of power. A single assembly table can receive as much power as you can give
+it, so the more lasers you have within range, the faster it will work. Here's an example of a simple
+setup:
+
+|                  |
+|:----------------:|
+| ![](example.png) |
+| *[see the crafting  plan](/craft/redstone_torch:assembly_table:combustion_engine:emerald_kinesis_pipe:4.golden_kinesis_pipe:3.laser)* |
+
+1. a combustion Engine filled with fuel produces power (60 RF/t) when activated by a redstone torch
+2. an emerald kinesis pipe draws power out of the engine and transmits it along some gold kinesis pipes
+3. a set of three lasers each transmit 20 RF/t
+4. assembly table which uses the 60 RF/t to build its current assignment
+
+See also: [Laser]
+
+# Similar Machines
+
+There are a number of other machines which also require laser power, so it is wise to set up your lasers so that they
+can reach all of them. If multiple machines each have a job ready to work, the lasers will split their time (and
+thus the output power) between each of them.

+The Auto Workbench is very similar to a regular Crafting Table with several important improvements which make it ideal
+for automated workflows.
+
+Start by opening the interface and laying out input items just like with a regular crafting table.

+
+At this point, you'll notice that it does *not* actually craft anything, but it does show you want item *would* be
+crafted. Now, add enough ingredients to complete the recipe three times. Once you do, the workbench will automatically
+start works and drop the output item in the far-right inventory slot.  If you pick up that item, it will automatically
+start working on the next one.
+
+To see the full potential of the Auto Workbench, you must use transport pipes to transfer input items into the
+workbench. These will be divided evenly between all the appropriate places in the crafting grid, and once enough items
+have arrived, the next item will be produced. If these items are piped out, production will be completely automated.
+
+For example, here's a setup which converts sticks into wood gears:
+
+|                  |
+|:----------------:|
+| ![](example.png) |
+| *[see the crafting plan](/craft/2.chest:auto_workbench:2.basic_gate_autarchic_pulsar:2.wooden_transport_pipe)* |
+
+1. a chest full of sticks
+2. a Basic Gate (Autarchic Pulsar) on a Wooden Pipe which extracts the items
+3. an Auto Workbench configured to produce gears (as seen above)
+4. a second pipe and gate which extracts items from the Auto Workbench
