Description
The Electric Hoe is an EU-powered farming tool from Industrial Craft 2 that turns dirt and grass into farmland exactly like a vanilla hoe, but spends EU instead of durability, so the Electric Hoe never wears out. The Electric Hoe is assembled on a crafting grid from three Iron Plates and one Small Power Unit laid out in a hoe shape. Charging happens in the charging slot of any IC2 energy storage block — BatBox, MFE, or MFSU. In the field, the Electric Hoe also recharges from RE Batteries or from a BatPack worn on the chest, so long tilling sessions never require a trip back to base. For large IC2 crop farms — Stickreed, Hops, pumpkins, or wheat — the Electric Hoe removes the constant replacement of worn-out hoes and keeps working as long as EU remain.
