I would imagine not, because Rotarycraft spawner controllers are likely coded to only work with vanilla spawners.
That's a fine idea. Only problem is that compost required yeast, which consumes dirt. So four dirt makes one dirt. ;]
Was the config enabled?
Which would be?
No. It is not hardcoded against Soul Shards, but the code for controlling a vanilla spawner would not work.
Could you allow us to use the most up-to-date version for each version of minecraft? For instance, I still play on 1.5 sometimes, and I would like to add rotarycraft to that world. But as you say, you go out of your way to prevent people from getting old versions of your mods. What about when you update to 1.7? Those of us who are sticking with 1.6 will miss your mods when we want to add an old version to our packs. PLease think about this. (Also, the 1.5 is so I can play Gregtech before it became Nerftech.)
I do keep the last versions for each MC version available.
There is my earlier suggestion, which I guess was lost in the noise: Compost + sand = dirt. In addition to being renewable, it has the advantage of being reasonably realistic! Just needs a block breaker to collect the cobble.
If you feel adding it as a crafting recipe is no good for whatever reason, it could be easily added as a fermenter recipe.
Would be possible to make the grinder make clay balls into dirt blocks? I mean, it makes sense.
Actually, clay clean enough to fire makes horendously poor growth medium (dirt). If I where to make a clay to dirt recipie it would include gravel and one form or another of biological material like saplings, leafblocks, or compost.
So... clay you just dragged out from beneath the ocean is clean? I mean, with all the deposition that happens at sea, I'd imagine ot'd be a pretty decent growth medium.
That is the same clay you can readily cook into a number of things, I've dealt with high clay soils in a farming and gardening enviroment for years..... and I've never seen anything anywhere near fire-able. Clay is basically soil that has had all of it's nutrients leached out, it also tends to suffocate roots. in the short term you can get things growing by adding large volumes of plant matter, but that breaks down rapidly and becomes an annual project. Long term you need to add a durable source of nutrients that will help break up the texture. I've had the best luck with lees I was able to buy dirt cheap off of a gravel yard..... basically extremely fine gravel. High clay soils are some of the hardest soils to make work efficiently, and that is a long way before we're talking something you can readily dig to throw into a flower pot.
Sand and compost would work fairly well. Sand is a good product for delivering oxygen to the root networks, the compost would bring the nutrients...... at least within the time scale of mc it'd be the better choice. In fact sandier soils are ideal for two of the prime mc crops.... carrots and potatoes. Low density soils are better for crops where your goal is large easily harvested roots. It'd have very poor water retention capabilities, but as mc already requires a form of constant irrigation.....
