I prefer chopper plant seeds for farming as they are the best yield per bone meal and are super easy to farm. The way JABBA and plastic interacts makes plastic a little less painful. Pneumatic craft is still a major pita but...I just used Creeper plants because you can easily get a ton of them
@Iskandar Why not make a machinists workbench take a PRC-LX100 to craft and have machine frames made in it? That would still put technology behind pneumatic craft but also make it less annoying to use.
