Does anyone know a good way to make a blue slime farm ? I have the bucket of slime, but I'm not sure what it needs to start spawning them. I have it currently spread out over a bunch of signs to get more out of it, but I'm not sure that'll actually work. In addition, any way to automate slime tree farming ? The planter from MFR doesn't plant it
Double Negative?
Just made my MAC. Took three hours. One to do the maths, one to do the gathering and one to make it all.
Overall? Too many math errors...
Yea I know the feeling as I was building mine yesterday. I calculated what I needed and made the parts only to find I'd miscalculated when putting the MAC together
I generally start out with a 4x4, then build out from there. Two CPU's gives me one action per tic, or 20 per second. Generally, that's plenty fast for me. The rest of the space can be for pattern providers.This isn't just a Agrarian Skies question, how big to people generally build their MAC? I built mine to 5x5x5, and chucked in 9 pattern providers and 18 CPU's. The Iron/Redstone/Gold cost was bearable, it was the 18 diamonds that meant I had to stop half way through (I'm only sifting dust atm).
I was swamped with vines at one point and by accident. I planted jungle trees in my MFR farm and I didn't realise it would harvest the vines as well so I didn't have a place for them to go so it blocked up my sorting system for the farm. But on the positive note they did make great compost

You can disassemble the Chamber and expand it fairly easily, so I've always started with a 3x3x3 and built up. You'll probably want to expand eventually, but that first half-dozen Patterns makes building the rest of a larger array a lot less of a hassle -- especially in Agrarian Skies, where you might use those first 27 Patterns for ore processing.This isn't just a Agrarian Skies question, how big to people generally build their MAC?

For anyone still using Smelteries to process their ores, I strongly urge you to consider HT Ovens!
- High Temp Ovens provide triple output, so about fifty percent better output than a smeltery.
- High Ovens do not accidentally produce alloys.
- Deep Tanks can be used to set up a drain for each ore you intend to process through it, and can be set up directly below the High Oven
- High Temp Ovens, much like RC Boilers, require time to heat up. Unlike RC Boilers, however, it doesn't take forever to get to 3k(C). In fact, you get there with about sixteen charcoal.
- Runs entirely on charcoal or charcoal blocks. Setting up a charcoal farm is easy-peasy.
- Setup is cheap, just using clay bricks and melted cobble as building materials. In fact, I'd say it was easier to produce than the grout for the dang smeltery in the first place!
- Build it up to eight high, and it will take six stacks of items. Sure, it will only produce six at a time, however it does so far faster than a smeltery when you get done, so the speed is a wash. The important thing here is that it can accept a full stack of items to continue going.
I surrounded it with grass and got one within a couple of minutes. I captured it with a safari net and put it in an auto-spawner/grinder setup. You can make a green slime by putting milk in witch water in an ex nihilo barrel and waiting, then capture it and do the same thing. Slime trees are a bit of a wash to get a lot of slimes quickly, I gave up and went the auto-spawner route after trying several different ways to auto farm them.
That is a brilliant idea, I should totally do that. Didn't know you actually could make green slimes like that, thought it only made slime balls, but I'll give it a try. Thanks!
You leave it go for awhile and it'll jump out of the barrel and come find you!
EDIT: BTW, that's just the easiest way to get the green slime if you already have a way to produce witch water. A second way, is to build a platform in the swamp biome. I haven't tried that one, but it should work. I'm not sure of the swamp spawning conditions without a little research.
