Automated animal breeding?

[MFINN23]

The answer's most likely no, but I was wondering if there was a way in this pack to breed animals hands free.

The Railcraft feeding station. Plonk it in the middle of the pen, place in a stack of wheat/seeds/carrots and you're set.

Magical [DOUBLEPOST=1355671901][/DOUBLEPOST]Another question though. It uses golden carrots and I've noticed that the villages in this pack do not have carrots. Is there a solution to this other than popping on creative mode?

On my friends server I got carrots from a village, so they are there.

@MFINN23 You probably had just bad luck with villages. However you can also get carrots and potatoes as a zombie rare drop.

The harder bit is making an auto-killing system

When I tried to use a feeding station for chickens it wouldn't let me place seeds in it. Though I am almost sure it still worked as my chicken numbers seemed to be increasing but never counted.

I had that problem as well. I just pumped the items into it with pipes

The seed issue was fixed in a later version of railcraft. If you are using the FTB beta pack, the issue is present. It should be working in the Magic pack version.

Yeah I was just have bad luck, went searching for some more since mikey's comment (thanks mikey) and found one with basically all carrots and no potatoes lol.

Nah, I've been killing stuff for ages. I'm thinking some water to push the overflow over a ledge and then a portal turret thing at the bottom to kill it off and then some obsidian pipes to suck up the drops.

Or perhaps quicksand.

Ah good idea. Forgot about quicksand since I died in it my first game on ftb. Gotta find some, it should be useful for all kinds of stuff.

You can find it in the Mini Jungle biome. If you use soul shards, you can make a stellar enderman trap. Eloraam did it on Forgecraft, if you watch DW20.

And yeah, I found a village but no tater tots for me. Haven't checked another village I spotted at a distance yet.

Is there a way to fully automate beef+leather production?

 

[netmc]

railcraft has the new embarking/disembarking track. Place one in your pen, and when the minecart goes though, it will automatically pick up an animal, then you take it to your slaughter area, the the disembarking track will eject the animal from the cart. up to you how you want to best kill it.

I haven't seen that episode. Do you know what number it is?

About carrots: if you have IC2 you can crossbreed carrots from wheat.

To me, that makes no sense.
