Boo, ah well. I'll stick to my multiblock forestry farms. I do so love those things!

It should have microblocks and tubes. Lots of tubes.
Right now nothing except forestry farms handle special forestry saplings. I'd wager this will remain the fact for some time.
I've used turtles and golem combos to collect specific wood types, but generally its only a single tree and I'm using it for building material not mass power production so it's for a limited period of time. (I'd really like it if the trees reacted to bonemeal even when there were leaves still present above them)
Yes.
It's a tiered system. It's fair. It didn't concern me. And sapling:biomass yield is forestry, not Steve's Carts.
I just hope that MFR gets hit with a hard Greg-nerf soon. Everything about MFR screams overpowered.
Cost to build the machines is almost nil, cost to power almost nil, and now you can upgrade the space they can operate on? Say goodbye to any type of automation but MFR.

It's just that MFR makes automation so boring. And no one uses anything else because it's so cheap and easy to set up.
Not being concerned is a far cry from "No damage" and nobody brought up biomass except you.
Again... melodramatic much? I haven't actually touched MFR for MONTHS specifically because of Thermal Expansion, which everyone was accusing of being too cheap and easy last month. This month it is MFR. Next month? Probably the next version of RedPower or Equivalent Exchange.
The only reason I am picking up MFR is for a Tree Farm, specifically because SC2 apparently decided to cater to the whiners.
Then don' t USE IT.
Seriously what is it with some people? What is this "I like to suffer so everyone must suffer" make more grind nonsense. This is why we can't have nice things.
Cost to power almost nil?
I have a farm fed from a 512EU/t backbone through a MV transformer. It uses 140 EU/t. A bit more than an industrial blast furnace.
You can instead power it with MJ, and it will use far less - to a max of 10MJ/t per connected face - but operate far slower.
I think you should stop spouting stuff you heard somebody else say and have no experience with.
Making things take more materials to build doesn't make it any more balanced or fun. It just makes everything take longer and reduce the time you can play with said item. It'll be like this forever. I'm sure there'll be some people who disagree with me, but I'm not going to waste my time explaining. The greatness of some mods is the simplicity and the fact that you don't need some huge tech tree with 7 items just to do a simple thing. Making everything require iridium plates does not improve the mod. It makes it a boring grind and nobody will want to use it. Look what happened to ASPs when the big boo-boo patch hit.
It works with all ExtraBiomes trees, does it not? It's just a matter of us seldom wanting them to. It certainly did in my test world! And that's part of the absurdity of it, MFR at least has a height cap. Have you ever tested how far SC2 will actually strip a densely connected forest? Hint: shockingly far.
Ok I guess my problem with MFR isn't so much as how cheap and easy to set up it is, but that it really doesn't add anything new.
It takes automation that is encompassed somewhere by other mods already in FTB and just makes it cost less. What reason is there to use Forestry, Steve's Carts, Soul Shards, Golems, Railcraft....... if all of that can be done cheaper and in a smaller space with MFR?

I know it doesn't work with IC2 rubber. I'll have to test EXL trees again in 1.4.7, but don't know absopositivly it doesn't. Pretty sure though.
Were I wanting to strip a forest, I'd just make a cart with a track layer in a forest biome mystage, but that seems pretty specialized.
Oh man I love making carts and rail systems with MFR! Wait.. no. Can't do that.
But how about the Bees system that MFR adds?! Isn't it aweso... wait, no no.
Well at least there is the MFR Golems, those are pretty .. wait, that doesn't exist either.
Honestly I don't even CARE what you are whinging about anymore, you stopped making sense a long time ago.
What happened to ASPs is people whined and still use them. Because what people claim is a boring grind and what human nature actually works best with are basically the same thing. It's why gambling works. It's what most games are designed around.[DOUBLEPOST=1366752366][/DOUBLEPOST]
Funny, as a mod MFR predates most other mods.
