So i wanted to automate apple production with apple oaks... atm.

I'm using a steve's cart system where the cart has

compact solar engine, coal engine, Cleaning Machine, Wood Cutter,Exotic Tree upgrade, Internal Storage tanks

and it works great... when im around.

But trees dont naturally grow if a player is not nearby. The chunk is loaded from a chunk loader but i believe it actually needs a player's presence. Can anyone confirm this? i know thats how it works in vanilla minecraft...

If this is the case is there a work around for this?

Trees should grow just from being chunk loaded. Atleast they do when growing trees manually/using forestry farms etc. So unless stevecarts use some special means of planting saplings they should too.
Are you sure you have the area covered by the chunk loader? Try and enable the laser mode to see how much is covered.

yeah the laser easily covers the area... it just seems like the only apples we get when no one is over at the farm is from the oak tree MFR farms. i wish i could have come up with another way to farm these Apple oaks.

btw my ftb unleashed constantly crashes or freezes when im searching for recipes using NEI. that or i get an Out of memory error... the computer im playing on is pretty bad but i just wondered if it was the lack of RAM on this computer or the ftb engine. It doesnt crash as much with Ultimate and im not sure why.

Always a sound indea. I have found that almost any type of treefarm (Steves, Forestry or MFR) is capable of supporting at the very least one solid and one liquid boiler, usually more.

i have another problem as well the Cargo Manager of Steve's Carts 2 receives apple oak saplings, apples, and oak logs and then pumps them out to an item tesseract. Except whenever i check on it its full of just single apples. When i gather all the apples out of the system they only gather at a single apple. When i try to do anything with this apple it disappears. is this a known bug?
