Does anyone know a good auto rubber farm setup? Basically, I want the tree to be planted, then fed bone meal, then chopped down, repeat. I tried using deployers but they don't like feeding bone meal to saplings for some reason.

Can turtles plant bone meal? Also, I tried the forestry machines but they can't use bone meal.
Hm, I think I'd rather use the turtles (since the forestry machines are so expensive, and since I made a skeleton farm just for this purpose XD). How would I make them plant bone meal?
Oh well you need to learn to program the turtle. I've only played with it with limited results.
But something like this might work
Well it seems like turtles don't like feeding bone meal to saplings either. I ran a quick test program and it didn't work.
Check the code. he post all code for his progams in he video discription.
sigh... look it is right over here http://pastebin.com/a3pRQxZ2
he even has it well commented and everything. it needs to be in slot 16 for his code to work.
Alright, after more testing I've figured out that you can't auto-place bone meal on rubber tree saplings, but you can on normal saplings. Weird. Is there a config file I can change to fix this?
That is weird.... really weird. I'll have to test. I'm at work so its anoher five hours before I can get infrot of MC.
The turtle is a block and it is right next to the sapling. Rubber tree saplings require two blocks of room horizontally to grow.
With forestry, you can't use bonemeal but there is a forestry version to instantly grow trees. It's the Forester which uses Catalyst as the consumable instead of bonemeal. I haven't tested it with rubber trees, but I know it works on Oaks. My tree farm, even without catalysts, ended up making a few hundred stacks of rubber in a couple days just from putting the wood through an extractor. The nice thing is after I felt I had enough rubber, it was easy to keep it running but change production over to oak wood and apples. Hooked into an energy conduit system with a energy cell, it's also very easy to just stop the tree farm until it is needed again.
