Forestry Machines

[PCPuddin]

Does anybody know what how much MJ each forestry machine takes in ?(e.g arboretum, carpenter, squeezer)Or is there anywhere I can find this information?

You can find it on the wiki, I believe.
They should take a low amount of power, and I doubt their energy usage varies from machine to machine very much.

And the Arboretum is both no longer craftable and no longer works.

I think it's kinda stupid that they just got rid of the other forestry machines. Keeping both them AND the multiblock structures would've been just fine.

That's mostly because the author decided that he didn't like his old farms.
He gave us quite a long while to adapt to the fact that they would disappear 'soon', and the new farm can be fun to wok with, as it gives so many options.

You also don't have to worry about the various types of dirt+sand+water mixes, and I definitely am not missing these ones.

You can use the Multimeter from TE to know how much power your machines draw.

The reason the old farms got phased out is the fact that as the first code of Forestry that was ever written, it was quickly becoming unmaintainable. With every feature added to forestry, with every Minecraft update, it got worse, caused more bugs, took more time to port and even maintain standard operation. It crippled the entire mod's ability to update and evolve.

So no, it would not have been "just fine".

Also, the multifarms are flat-out better in all aspects except up-front cost (and even then you could argue in some cases, since you no longer need diamonds for a tree farm, and one single multiblock is capable of all possible product types). I'm still not sure what makes people so hidebound as to irrationally hold on to inferior machines...
