Autonomous activators, and itemducts pulling the items out of the activators into chests/wherever you want to send them

But don't they lead to a heavy load of info at the bottom right. I am looking more for a system i can hook into my AE and just say make 15 of bell peppers and they will be in my system. as far as i know Autonomous activators keep going no matter what.

...If you have an AE system, why not use MFR for the farms and store the excess in DSUs?

I guess you could also use SFM. If a particular crop is below a quantity in a chest, send a piece bonemeal to the AA. Just remember the plants will still keep growing regardless. You could also control the AA with redstone signals so it stops "harvesting".

There's in threory a way to do it with SFM. Its just that you need to be able to make Advanced cluster Cables with block update detector and block gate, a block gate two spaces away in order to bonemeal it and lot's of programming.

For some reason my Fertilizer or my planter will not work. I only need a small area for the farms but it still won't work, and yes i did have it set to the seeds and not the actual item. The Fertilizer will accept bonemeal but won't use them.

You need industrial fertilizer from MFR or Forestry (?) fertilzer which uses apatite.

Fertilizers using bonemeal is a MFR config option that most challenge packs turn off.
