Is there a way to farm shards of minium? I mean, through soul shard doesn't seems to work, I've set up a tier 3 zombie spawner plus a couple of melee turtle but when I checked, there were tons of iron, potatoes, carrots, some armor but no shards of minum. I tried to set up a manual way to kill them (potion of healing) but yet again no shards were dropped. Is it just a matter of bad luck (really bad, since the melee turtle have been running for 8 hours) or soul shard mobs don't drop any minium?
>>>Tube -> Transposer -> [Air] -> Obsidian Pipe ->>>
Its a very Ghetto way to do it, but it is the smallest i can think of. Just be carfull, maybe the Items fall t the sides. Just block it of.
Minium Shardes should drop from Normal Mobs and from Mobs out of Vanilla Spawner. I don't have a Vanilla spawner, i cant say it for sure^^
On my manual zombie-punch-in-the-feet T5 spawner, we've been getting minium shards. When I get some extra splash heal potions, I'll give them a test.
Right, so I have to physically punch them, fine! I tried to kill them with healing potion and not a single shard was given to me, I'll try to punch dem basterds! Thanks!
Depending on how you have your trap set up, you may want to redesign it with a drop element (and possibly a watervator element) to allow them to get down to half a heart (one punch) of health, or close enough that you can make a bunch of stone swords and use those.
Great idea, probably the best use for that thing, as in reality, I'm gonna take out a group of uncontrolled mobs from range if I can, making the AoE sword kind of an emergency only thing.
Which kind of tree farm? Multifarm, steve's carts or something else? I know that when I set up more multifarms I had a shortage of dirt too since I stopped the quarries for a long time. We had a lot of UU being produced so I just made a bunch of grass dirt / mycelium with the UU and set up a factorization energy source + 2 grinders to turn the grass dirt and mycelium into regular dirt. Works pretty well, I just never got around to automating it so I drop it all in a hopper (for now) and let it do its thing. Makes it fast enough to keep up with 2 full size wheat and tree farms (though the wheat seems to recycle dirt anyway).
Other option for renewable dirt would be through plantballs I think...Can't remember off the top of my head but yeah...wheat farms will give you solid amounts of wheat to make plantballs and then more dirt. Multifarm for wheat seemed to recycle it's stacks of dirt endlessly so you can't go wrong there.
Forestry way of renewable dirt would be peat bog. Just use mulch in carpenter to get 8 bog earth per 4 dirt, specially if you changed difficulty of Forestry from easy. If you use peat in peat fired engines you will get ash which will increase fertilizer yield from apatite. Other solution would be to upgrade your trees. Here is output of tree farm after using 6 stacks of fertilizer (one stack of apatite with sand on medium difficulty) and a sapling: http://imgur.com/a/VAVuA . I should probably make them smaller, because farm consumes fertilizer for chopping down wood.
How do I hook this up?

I don't want excess cobble to fly out of the recycler if its full, but the best way I could think of doing that was a transport pipe loop. Is there a better way with RP2?
