Auto farming without fertilizer

[romrider07]

Is there a machine or something in FTB unleashed, that acts as fertilizer by powering it MJ or EU...I'm trying to make a farm and don't want to keep pumping fertilizer into the fertilizer...anyone know any ideas?

Just don't use fertilizer at all, you're still autofarming. Stuff still grows, your harvesters still harvest it, your planters still plant it.

Takes forever without it.

Then maybe the increased speed actually is worth the effort?

You're on Unleashed, fertilizer is easy. Extending it to a new farm is as simple as plopping an item tesseract down next to your MFR Fertilizer.

Got a cow farm? Cover the bottom with sewage collectors, pump the sewage into composters and dump that into fertilizers. Use liquiducts and liquid tesseracts, then face the composters into the fertilizer to conserve space and minimize power complexity.

Actually one Sewer with a range upgrade is enough.

I use several farms, so I have several sets of sewage collectors all feeding to different farms, but it's nice to know that'll work.

A Bronze upgrade will cover a 11x11 area (not sure if that is a square area or circular). In other words if your paddock is within a chunk one sewer with a bronze upgrade will suffice.
I mean when it comes to area of effect MFR can get rather silly when you start using emerald upgrades. Which increase the RADIUS of most machines by 11. So yeah a 23 block radius being tended to by a single block...

Which is why I have multiple sewers. The farms are all covered by the base chunkloaders, so that's not the issue, though by default the range on a sewer is 1x1 directly above it, or so I've been told. I believe they have gold upgrades, since adventuring in the Twilight Forest generates a lot of gold.

How big is this paddock exactly?

If its like the planter, the area would be square
