| - | The Air Sac is a peculiar Creeper construct which has heavily varying effectiveness. It is a cloud of Creep which can produce orbs of Creep.

| If it is not submerged, the fabricator will require stored Creeper to delicately conduct this process and will always try to accumulate sufficient Creeper unless told otherwise to account for this scenario. In the event this is the case, the stored Creeper is released and manipulated via nanites (hence no loss of Creeper during fabrication) which then use the force emitters as a reference force and work together to stimulate the Creeper to form into a semi-solid.
