Guide
How to plant and grow a Rubberwood Sapling in IndustrialCraft 2
-
1
Obtain a Rubberwood Sapling
Find a Rubber Tree in swamp or forest biomes and break its leaves. Each Rubber Tree Leaf block drops a Rubberwood Sapling at roughly a 5% chance, similar to vanilla oak saplings.
-
2
Plant on Dirt or Grass
Place the Rubberwood Sapling on a Dirt or Grass block with a light level of at least 9. Without enough light the sapling will not advance to the next growth stage.
-
3
Speed up with Bone Meal
Right-click the Rubberwood Sapling with Bone Meal to skip growth stages, the same way it works on vanilla saplings. This is useful when building a tree farm quickly.
-
4
Wait for the Rubber Tree
Once mature, the sapling becomes a full Rubber Tree with a Rubber Wood trunk. Some trunk blocks will display Resin Holes, which mark the tappable spots.
-
5
Tap Resin Holes with a Treetap
Right-click each Resin Hole with a Treetap to collect Sticky Resin without breaking the tree. Smelt or extract the resin into Rubber for IC2 cables and machines.
Plant several Rubberwood Saplings in a 4-block-spaced grid so each Rubber Tree has room to grow without overlapping leaves.

Frequently asked questions
Where do Rubberwood Saplings come from?
Rubberwood Saplings drop from Rubber Tree Leaves at roughly a 5% chance per leaf block, the same way vanilla saplings drop from oak leaves.
What block can you plant a Rubberwood Sapling on?
A Rubberwood Sapling can be planted on Dirt or Grass, and it requires a light level of at least 9 to advance through its growth stages.
Does Bone Meal work on a Rubberwood Sapling?
Yes. Right-clicking a Rubberwood Sapling with Bone Meal skips growth stages exactly like on vanilla saplings, which is useful for tree farms.
What does the Rubber Tree produce?
A grown Rubber Tree has Rubber Wood and Resin Holes. The Resin Holes are tapped with a Treetap to extract Sticky Resin, which becomes Rubber.
Are Rubberwood Saplings renewable?
Yes. Every Rubber Tree drops new Rubberwood Saplings from its leaves, so a single starting sapling can sustain an unlimited farm.
