    From a post I found here, your method should work. I've tested it extensively using all sorts of methods of extraction in a creative world and nothing is able to extract the bucket from any side of the firebox at the moment. I'm stumped. It might be an issue with Railcraft or a bug, I don't...

    Farms

    Hi Samuel, There are great MFR tutorials on youtube. You should find all the info you need in there and on Powercrystal's Minecraft forum page. Look for Wylkers spotlight to get you started. Direwolf20 also posted a 3-part, very detailed mod spotlight. Have fun discovering :)

    Growing trees underground

    I'm not sure it still applies, but the game used to also check light level at the potential top of the tree before growing it. You mention torches, but I also always insert glowstone blocks in the ceiling in a 5 x 5 pattern in my underground tree farms (or any equivalent light block except for...
