What are the pros to using this instead of the old farms? How does the fertilizer in it work, does it speed growth in any way or is it just for it to function? Are these farms faster or slower than the old ones in terms of growth, and what ones are more power efficient?
Forestry Multi-Block Farms?
- Thread starter Bigpak
- Start date
major pro is the multiblock farms are being continued where old farms are not
That is true that in future development of Forestry the old farms will be removed, yes but I never said I was going to update, I meant like how does it work, whats the difference besides size and all in one thing? The fertilizer is what agitates me the most, I cannot for the life of me understand if it even speeds up growth rates or what happens, or what it is even being used on. Any ideas?
I think they are quite cool. You can have multiple farms on the same multi block, like a vegetable, wheat and rubber tree Farm

Fertilizer usage is quite minimal with the exception of orchards. Since fertilizer is used up when the farm is harvesting an orchard goes through it like no tomorrow. It's not so bad with tree bred fruits because they are picked and have to mature again, but with apples it can go through fertilizer like a kid goes through candy.
The fertilizer is there to get it to work at all. Basically each crop needs a specific amount of water and a specific amount of fertilizer per tick for the farm to harvest/replant it. The amount of water can get pretty high if there is no rain. I've heard that it also needs something like 75MJ/t while it's working, but doesn't use energy while idle.
Overall, I'd say the multifarms aren't worth it unless you farming nuts for seedoil. And even there, a pumpkin or melon farm with golems is less trouble to setup.
If you need a farm, just use the MFR farms. They're pretty efficient and you can use any fertilizer type (bone meal, fertilizer, industrial fertilizer, etc) to instantly grow the plants.
The new multi bocks also help you with the new tree breeding and new trees.
I maybe mistaken but i don't think the old ones allow you to use the new trees. Also you can add 4 different farms without one place rather then 4 different farms do the same job

You need NEI for forestry not a forestry update.

There are some severe errors.

Oh, my man! You are a gentleman and a scholar!
Thanks so much. Everything works fine now~.
Just a note Succubism. The reason Jaded's stated for not adding certain recipe pluggins to her pack is that they have caused unexplained (so far) crashes with her system. As an alternative recipe mod, she's included Craftguide that we can access with the G key in the Magic Farm pack .
