Started a new world to incorporate thaumcraft into all my other favorite mods- so I'm running a custom 1.4.5 version of ftb.
This time I decided to try the forestry method to get my base up and running.
I built a tree farm, peat farm, and wheat farm. They are running mostly automatic. The tree farm feeds sand to a carpenter to make bog earth. The peat farm supplies dirt to that same carpenter and another one set up for humus. The wheat farm provides the mulch via a moistener.
What I'm finding- there is not enough sand created to keep the system running, while hummus is being WAY over-produced. Same with mulch. I actually disconnected the wheat farm for now. I did set up a fermenter and am using some of the mulch there with my extra saplings making biogas. I'll process that later into biofuel or use it how it is-
I'm sure I need to build another tree farm at a minimum. (maybe rubber for use in IC2)
My question for the experts- what is a good setup (# & type of farms) that I can leave running without having to run around and babysit so carefully?
I ended up moving my manufacturing center under the farms just so I am in the area and don't have to drop what I'm doing to check on the system.
