Deployers not working correctly.

[Rapidfire52]

I'm trying to make an automatic coffee machine, I have everything done including coding on a computer. But the last part is farming the cocoa beans. I got everything set up but the deployers will not plant the cocoa beans on the jungle wood. I can do it myself, and I know the deployer is getting redstone because it can put other blocks on the wood. If I spawn in the actually cocoa bean plant (once planted) and put it in the deployer it works, but you cannot get that ID legit, and it will not work with the normal cocoa beans.

Please help! :c
I'm pretty sure this is a bug but I might be doing something wrong.

Any luck finding a solution ? (i am also looking for a way to automatically plant cocoa beans)

You cant this is probably a feature not a bug.

Thought so, using a turtle now and it works like a charm

can you tell me how you did that? i am trying to figure the turtle thingy out myself but it fails horribly

 

[001100110]

Use this code with a turtle:

while true do
turtle.placeUp()
sleep(300)
turtle.digUp()
end

this is for having a turtle under the spot you want the bean planeted, this can also be used with a row of turtles and coco beans above them.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The turtle just doesn't do anything at all. I tried every turtle and all these setups: ([l] is log and [t] is turtle, - is air)
[l]
[t]
and
-[l]
[t]
Please help me, I have a little cocoa problem in my factory...

-[l]
[t]

That should be the correct placement also is the turtle facing the log? And are you on a server with grief prevention plugins or something like that?

I Am playing single player zo that souldn't he a problem. Which turtle should I use? and of you mean the side with the black line as front, IT is correctly placed.

What turtle are you using? It should be the lumber turtle (put a plane turtle with a diamond axe in the crafting table.).

 

[Creaper]

I have a lumber (aka felling) turtle.
I am using this code to run this:

if turtle.placeUp() then
print("placed")
sleep(300)
turtle.digUp()
else then
print("error, can't place beans!")
end

and this returns the "error, can't place beans!" message all the time... Please help!
BTW, thanks already for trying to fix my problem.

Try to have the turtle setup like this
[turtle] [air] [jungle log]
and use this code to test:

if turtle.place() == true then
sleep(300)
turtle.dig()
else then
print("error placing the coco beans!")
end

Remember put the coco beans in the first slot of the turtle.

putting the turtle in front of the log works just fine!
thanks man!
<3 you!
