 === Beeswax ===
 Beeswax is obtained by extracting honey out of a honey comb with a Liquid Tank. Once the liquid tank absorbs the honey, beeswax is left behind.

+Beeswax can be used to reduce the Repair Cost of tools. Repair Cost is the amount of levels required for a tool to be repaired in an anvil. To reduce the Repair Cost of an item, drop beeswax in an amount greater than or equal to the Repair Cost of the tool, along with the tool onto an anvil. Then power a downwards facing piston above the items to apply the wax onto the tool. This will lower the Repair Cost by one level, and can be repeated until the Repair Cost is 0.

+It is possible to bring down the Repair Cost of a Tool by multiple levels per operation. A useful algorithm to reduce a tool's repair cost:
+# Drop 64 beeswax and a tool of choice into the machine described above and power the piston.
+# Check the amount of beeswax that was left behind:
+#* If the tool's Repair Cost was higher or equal to 64, the machine will consume the full stack of wax and set the Repair Cost to 63.
+#* If the tool's Repair Cost was lower than 64, the machine will consume 64-<Repair Cost> beeswax.
+# Jump to instruction 1.
+Instead of doing this step-wise, it's also possible to do multiple cycles with one piston push; for this drop multiple stack of wax onto the machine - each stack will run instruction 1 and 2.
