Description

The Ejector Upgrade is an IndustrialCraft 2 (IC2) Experimental machine upgrade that automatically moves finished items out of any output-capable IC2 machine — Macerator, Compressor, or Extractor — into an adjacent inventory. By default, the Ejector Upgrade sends items through the first valid side it finds, checking sides in the order East, West, South, North, Top, Down. Hold the Ejector Upgrade in hand and sneak-right-click a face of the machine to force output through that exact side, the key to compact processing setups. Every item the Ejector Upgrade moves consumes 100 EU from the machine's energy storage.
The Ejector Upgrade is crafted on a crafting table from 4 Tin Plates in the corners and 1 Piston in the center. Multiple Ejector Upgrades form a priority list: the first upgrade's rule applies, and the next one is only checked if no valid side is found, so extra upgrades refine output routing rather than speed. Pair the Ejector Upgrade with a Pulling Upgrade on a Macerator or Compressor to close a full automation loop with no external mods in IC2 Experimental for Minecraft 1.7.10 and 1.12.2.

Java Edition Guide

How to use the Ejector Upgrade in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft the upgrade

    Place 4 Tin Plates in the corners of a crafting table grid and 1 Piston in the center to produce 1 Ejector Upgrade.

  2. 2

    Open the machine GUI

    Right-click an IC2 machine such as a Macerator, Compressor, or Extractor and locate the upgrade slots in the machine panel.

  3. 3

    Insert the Ejector Upgrade

    Place the Ejector Upgrade in an upgrade slot. The machine starts moving finished items into the adjacent inventory automatically, at a cost of 100 EU per item.

  4. 4

    Set the eject face

    Hold an Ejector Upgrade in your hand and sneak-right-click the face of the machine you want the output to exit through.

  5. 5

    Route with multiple upgrades

    Install a second Ejector Upgrade to add a fallback side: the first upgrade's rule applies, and the next is checked only when no valid side is found.

Pro tip

A plain right-click just opens the machine GUI — hold the sneak key while right-clicking, otherwise the output face will not change.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Ejector Upgrade need power?

Yes — every item the Ejector Upgrade moves costs 100 EU, drawn from the host machine's internal energy buffer.

What happens with several Ejector Upgrades in one machine?

They form a priority list: the first upgrade's rule is applied, and the next is checked only if no valid side is found. Stacking does not increase ejection speed.

Which side does the Ejector Upgrade output to by default?

The first valid side, checked in the order East, West, South, North, Top, Down — until you fix a face with a sneak-right-click.

How do I change the eject direction?

Hold an Ejector Upgrade in hand and sneak-right-click the face of the machine you want the output to exit through.
