Automatic Crafting

[JuliCash]

Hi,

currently im working on my forestry/redpower treefarm automation.
Im kind of stuck in the Autocrafting of Humus.
As i have planned not to go for a Peat-Production, my Idea was to make dirt out of macerated plantballs and than produce compost out of wheat.

I have seen some wikiarticles etc about the Crafting-table MK2 (From Redpower?) but i cannot find it. Was it removed or does it belong to an extramod?

I think i can use the buildcraft table but that would be kind of complicated and i prefer not to use any pipes.

thx

It is from Tubestuff.

Ah thx, any reason, why it isnt in the Pack? (Because there is an 1.4.6 version on the site)

If you're autocrafting humus, you might want to use a carpenter instead.

If you're autocrafting humus, you might want to use a carpenter instead.

Same for bog earth. It's the easiest way to fully automate the production by simply putting in some mulch.

if you have factorization and a reed farm you can use craftpacket makers and stampers, setup the makers to accept the paper/partial craftpacket in the bottom and the resources from the top and pump the result out the side (they will auto pulse a transposer set to pull them out but this can get stuck)

each maker can be setup to put the resources in specific slots of the crafting grid

then it is just setting up the sorter to pump out 8 dirt 1 fertiliser and 1 paper properly color-coded in sequence

the stamper accepts the packets from the bottom and pumps out the side

Hmm yeah the thing is, i dont need a peat-farm. And i see only 2 ways of getting the dirt for the carpenter to make humus. grinding the mycelium or macerating the plantball...

Tree farm supplies sand for bog earth production
Bog farm supplies dirt for bog earth and humus
Wheat farm supplies wheat and seeds for mulch production

Once you have the right quantities of farms those 3 make a perfectly viable automated system which requires no input, you can even add

Tree farm supplies saplings for biomass production to power biogas engines to power all farms and machines.

The only extra/input bit you need is fertilizer in the fermenters.

I'm building a forestry tower with peat, wheat, and tree farms. Does anyone have a good ratio of how many of each farm works well together?

You can macerate the plantball if you choose, I'd still use the carpenter recipe. Just use apples in a squeezer for mulch instead of wheat. That way you can power it all will a fermenter and biomass without using too many saplings.
