People seem to be forgetting that wool has to regrow, which requires grass. Anyway, the MFR breeding works fine. Finished the collection mechanism and set up level emitters and AND gates to turn off the Q-Ram spawner if a single color of wool drops below a threshold (to allow the system to get caught up without wasting wool).
It's been running for about an hour and it's made 25 of each of the reward blocks. Slower than I'd hoped. But, it should be easy to scale: I'll just need to have more than one pair of parents of each wool color.
The lag from the baby sheep is the biggest problem; MFR has a machine to grow them up quickly using growth syringes, the recipe for which requires golden carrots. Doable, because my source of wheat--a kobold spawner--is also a source of gold nuggets.
Soon I'll have enough diamond and emerald blocks to use them exclusively for building. More screenshots soon.
Back to minium, again-- if there were an easily renewable minium source, I'd just transmute white wool from a t5 soul shard. I could use natural grass spread in pens, yes-- but, the space I'm building in is the bottom floor of a 2x2-chunk factory where the upper floors are filled with machines that block the sky, the visibility of which the vanilla wiki lists as a necessary condition of grass regrowth. And it's in any case necessary to reach the 30-second wool-replenishment mark to maximize Quest Ram exploitation; doing this using natural grass spread would involve some very large pens, indeed. Though, if I ever re-do this build above ground with more space, I'll try that route.What is so difficult about grass? You can get it easily (minium stone cobble) or silk touch or natural spread. I have two 5x5 pens with the 16 colors of sheep in them and passively building up a wool supply using the MFR rancher. They can eat all the grass under them, but adding a ring of grass they can't reach easily keeps things in balance.
Not only that, but if they eat it too fast, you could potentially always just use pistons to switch out the grass.What is so difficult about grass? You can get it easily (minium stone cobble) or silk touch or natural spread.

Example:
Pens:
Center would be for breeding/auto spawner --not doing quest ram here. I just put a mob type i need in auto spawners powered by passive animal breeding+grinder.
Ring of grass that can spread back up to the sheep pen:

Hey Peppe, how did you get that 7 beef in the top left hand corner of your screen? I assume it's saturation level?
Wrong type of grass dude, see above post.Of course, bone meal also works wonders for growing grass, last I checked. Skeleton farm can't be all *THAT* hard to set up.

Who cares, we can do this on RR to get our precious emeralds!Minecraft PETA's going to have a fit when they find about the blatant animal cruelty going on here...

The version of MFR in Ultimate 1.0.1 doesn't have exact mode. I tried this in a recent version of MFR and it seems you can't catch Quest Rams in a Safari Net anymore.With how the MR system works keeping all data on the animal I.E. health, wool color, job would it be possible to feed it all but 1 color then spawn more that only need one color?
