Automated farms with Forestry

[LORD_MJ]

So I'm a little lost here and I need help on how to automate my farms with forestry.

I'm not using the multifarms.

So this is my current setup: Peat bog, Tree farm and behind me is my house.


This is my bog earth machines. You can suggest how can I improve it.


Now the main question, how to automate all this? I want my peat to fill my peat engines at my peat farm, then my tree farm and any excess can go to my house. Dirt from the peat bog farm first goes into my bog earth making machine and the rest can go to my house.

Same goes for the saplings. I want sappling first to go to my Arboretum and then to my house for storage. Apples and wood go straight in to my house. Sand should go first at my peat bog and then to my house

I will use this setup to power the boiler from Railcraft that will be my primary power source for all the machines in my house.

So my question is how and where to connect all the pipes and machines so everything works?

Red power does most of this automatically. Rule 1 of tubing is that items will take the shortest available route. So, for example, if you have a pipe with peat traveling through it, and the engines are closer than the storage chest, peat will attempt to fill the engines first. RP also adds an item called the restriction tube which tricks the tube into thinking it is 1000 blocks long, so if you put that in between the farm and the chest, things will go to the chest last.

Thanks for the tips. I will try to figure things out, and post back if I run into problems.

Any other tips would help out too.
