Application: IGN: jpbirdsgong Age: 26 Location: chicago How much do you know about FTB Beta mods: Quite a bit. Here is a thing I built: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/automating-quest-ram.20424/ Why you want to join us: Need a new server to check out 1.5.2 FTB; playing alone is lonely...

Server seems to be down

Applied. Thanks, Xun. Hopefully see you soon. Solar panel factory, this time...

IN Game Name: Jpbirdsgong Age: 26 Hours spent on MC per week: 10 Mod experience: Greg, Redpower, AE, decent at Ccraft Build you are most proud of: automated the Twilight Quest Ram using every color of sheep on the bottom floor of a factory powered by 8 fusion reactors...

sad now. anybody found another server as good as absol's?

Damn, that's too bad, this was a good machine. Unfortunately the server I built it on is now down, otherwise I'd post more screenshots. I took a break for a couple of days and went back before the server went down and had several hundred of each reward block.

Thanks, Siro; very helpful. I've got too much time invested in the current setup to switch it around, but I think I'll be setting up a minium farm in the future using a method based on this.

No, it doesn't-- bonemeal works for growing plants on grass, but not for turning brown dirt blocks green.

It occurs to me that grass could be silk-touched using an arcane bore and then placed by turtles underground. The syringe route seems easier, though, at this point.

Back to minium, again-- if there were an easily renewable minium source, I'd just transmute white wool from a t5 soul shard. I could use natural grass spread in pens, yes-- but, the space I'm building in is the bottom floor of a 2x2-chunk factory where the upper floors are filled with machines...

People seem to be forgetting that wool has to regrow, which requires grass. Anyway, the MFR breeding works fine. Finished the collection mechanism and set up level emitters and AND gates to turn off the Q-Ram spawner if a single color of wool drops below a threshold (to allow the system to get...

Some "proof of concept" screenshots. Still need to fix some things, but... it works.

Screenshots: will do. The trouble with a dye factory is that the inputs aren't easily renewable. Finished the sheep portion, working on the ram farming bit now...

Going with the add more sheep route. Still balancing out the numbers for each color. It's going to be a lag monster, but it'll work.

Yes, that's the problem, but i need to use one wool of each color every 30 seconds, so the system will have to keep up.

Hmm. Just tried the soul shard method; no luck. All the sheep are white.

That's only in the newest version, not yet included in Ultimate, unfortunately.

Excellent; I didn't realize that different colored-sheep had different IDs. Soul shard spawners it is. I'd already tried the MFR spawner but all sheep came out white even though the tooltip on the Safari net shows the correct color. (I'm assuming this is a bug?) If the soul shards don't work...

Thanks all. I did the tests using the minium stone method; trouble is I need this to be infinite and the minium drop rate for farmed mobs is too low (the stone will wear out; know this from using in prev. builds). I guess I'll try shearing dyed sheep... guessing the bottleneck will be grass...

Caught a quest ram using an MFR safari net this morning. Preliminary testing shows that the spawner will indeed create them at a rate of about 1 every 30 second-- and that the quest can be completed with each ram it spawns. Which raises the question of the best way to automate the quest to farm...
