Was the drop fixed? I was manually harvesting potatos while back and never saw one. I didn't set my system to collect them [not having one to format with] and need one for the Bile Demon summon. Read they're not dropping in AgS. Do I need to actually harvest the crop [no right-click magic]?
I would imagine no right click magic involved as they're a vanilla drop and right click magic isn't a vanilla mechanic

I cheated in one to format a cell for a little test. Threw a ritual under my potato plot and we'll see if a Harvester can pick it up.

I don't think harvesters produce them. I have tens of thousands of Potatoes and no poisonous ones. You can probably get one using an AA to harvest.

I tried to do this once but I couldn't get it to work.
Unless something changed since I last played AS, it works something like this:
A comparator pointing out from a QDS outputs a redstone signal while there's a quest active.
I simply negated that with a redstone torch and used an ME export bus set to work without signal. An itemduct with a servo for redstone control should work exactly the same.
Materials used per QDS was one comparator, one redstone torch, two or three redstone dust, and some blocks to raise the signal up to the bus.
The system shuts off as soon as the quest is completed. Of course this only works for quests with only one type of item or for the last item to complete a quest.

Yeah, not one so far. I'll try the AAs.

Edit: Holy Moses! Lotta work for a damn item. Problem with AA is continuous click doesn't allow plant to mature. So I'd need something to activate the AA when the potatos are fully grown. No idea how to set that up. Single change - BUD. 7 changes - BUd with PRC counting maybe? Not for me. I'll do it manually for a bit.

Edit: Tried by hand for a stack of seeds. Tried with a Luck3 Scythe for a stack of seeds. Nothing. Scythe did increase my potato harvest, but no poison.

You put bone meal in the AA. It will grow, and when it can't grow any more, it will harvest automatically. Then you just have golem or a vacuum hopper collect the results.

I just thought it was the MFR harvester that is not producing poisonous potatoes. It could be harvestcraft/hunger overhaul that is making the change.

we thought you were trying to see if right click magic can produce it (All I was saying about it previously is I doubt, but I don't actually know)

i think some mod is interfering with the drop. Limited manual didn't work [left-click]...even with an enchanted tool for harvesting [not sure this would have any effect on drop rate for a rotten potato]. Nothing from the Harvester. And now 2 barrels of bonemeal and still nothing.

Edit: Good news is I now have an abundance of Flour!

Solved one of my AE mysteries!

As you may know, I have my MAC/crafting space subnet'd off my Storage via a Storage Bus [MAC netowrk] reading an Interface [Storage network]. When I first set it up, everything had the same priority. And things like ingots [from blocks] made using the MAC terminal would be passed back to storage instead of accumulating in the crafting disk. When I changed my overflow system to a Storage Bus reading a chest, I changed the priorities of my drives/buses [with void bus being lowest] and this broke the auto-pass back to storage [unwanted items accumulating in the craft space].

Here's my solution in highest to lowest priority:
Storage drives
MAC Storage [I have disks formatted by mod]
MAC Crafting
Storage Bus reading the Interface
Void

By itself, this just insures nothing gets passed back to the Storage network [insurance against unwanted void loss]. The trick that took me long time to discover was using the preference settings on the Storage Bus reading the Interface! Say I want some redstone dust from blocks. I tell the MAC to make some. If the storage bus preferences are blank, the dust ends up on the crafting disk. However, if the storage bus is set to store redstone dust then the dust gets passed back to the storage network.

Abracadabra, Presto-Chango and my preferred functionality is restored.

hey so like I just started this thing... I know about the dirt chest that had starting dirt underneath the dirt block, but over by the 4 water source blocks, there was a red block cover ontop of a white block. The is a sign on the far side that I didn't get to see before I knocked the block down... Anyone remember what it said?

Something like "Respect the roadblock".

I dealt with road blocks before, so walked around it and stepped on it while facing the house.
also, I heard tales of people suddenly having unexpected fun with them. you know, the DF kind of "fun".

just started, and am interested in seeing where I end up. assuming I don't have "fun"
losing is fun!

And I quote "Praise the Road...PRAISE IT NOW!"

I have a problem. Through some weird glitch, I lost all my Thaumcraft research. Is there any way to selectively cheat research flags in? I had already done all the research required for all TC-related quests, and I don't plan to do anything more with TC in this world so I could just use the cheat sheet, but I'd rather not if I can avoid it.
I suspect the cause of this was a moment when I died from two different sources in what I suppose was the same tick, resulting in an "invalid instruction" error and a crash. Unfortunately, I didn't notice any adverse effects after restarting until a few days later so I can't just use a backup without losing days of quest progression.

A few other questions:

Hellfish. I wonder why I'm not getting any. Granted, I didn't spend a lot of time in the Nether yet, just enough to finish the quest in "Learning to skyblock" and to do a bit of the right-click mining with my Bound Pickaxe. Even so, I would've thought there would be some.

Bound Armor: I have one piece upgraded with a sigil of Magnetism but it doesn't appear to work. I still have blocks falling off into cable ducts and suchlike and not getting sucked into my inventory even though I'm standing two blocks away. Do I need to do something to activate the upgrade? No, I don't have an armor inhibitor on me.

As a general comment, these "For the Hoarding" quests are crazy. I suspect I'll be finished up with everything else including "bragging rights" before I've even unlocked everything here. That Tera Storage Cluster alone will eat up all the Certus Quartz I've collected so far and then some. And then the Dirt quest...

1 no idea why but believe me it's for the best
2 when crafting bound armor you need 1 blood shard/sigil(1 demon orb/2) in order for sigil to work.

for me tera storage was taxing on redstone, but then again, i did waste about 20 buckets of destabilized redstone...

Not if you have to kill Hellfish for a quest....

I know that and I think I have upgraded my armor correctly. The description says "slot 0: weak blood shard, slot 1 : master's blood orb, slot 2: sigil of magnetism."

Farming those nether blood trees will give you all the redstone you'll ever need. I have one with two AAs and a Harvester. One AA sets the saplings, the other uses bonemeal, of which I have an almost unlimited supply through my mob grinders. Certus Quartz, however, I have no idea how to get in bigger quantities.

oh, there is a quest like that?.. well, from my experience the tend to spawn a lot near portal, and on nether ores explosions

no idea what is wrong then

sifting, laser drill with cyan focus, spatial and quantum bees. and some fish? maybe? do note that stack of combs of mentioned bees is required for one of the quests.
