Forestry bred tree and block breakers

[Chugs]

Does anybody know why trees from forestry drop nothing when broken with a block breaker from red power? Thanks.

If you are talking about mutated leaves, they have a low chance to drop a sapling so should always be broken with a grafter. If you are talking about the leaves in general, it could be a bug or possibly a feature to encourage you to use the new multi-farms.
Hope this helped

BTW, why are you using block breakers?

I was referring to leaves in general and guessed as much a you that it was a feature to encourage multifarm use. I had built a tunnel bore style tree farm but looks like that's out of the question. Thanks for the reply man

Forestry uses special code for the leaves that require a player to break them or for them to naturally despawn to get saplings. Which naturally makes it a pain to auto farm its trees with anything other then the forestry multifarms.

However it is possible by using one of the many methods to remove the wood then let the leaves naturally despawn into a collection system, but it is horribly inefficient.

Ahh so it is intentional I thought so. Cheers

What the others said. I'm fairly certain it's possible to automate a RP2 Frame thing that will push the tree leaves down (probably into a room below the tree planting area) while cutting the trunk. That way the leaves can decay naturally.

That's my next move.
