Forestry - Multi Farm pattern

[Darkness4910]

Hey guys!

I recently dug into the green power production of forestry. Since I didn't have many resources at the beginning, I decided to go with the old farms, instead of the new multi farms. I built my base around the dimensions of the old farms and then realized that I might have to re-do everything when they get removed from the game (which might be pretty soon).

So then I took a look at the pattern of the multi farms, to see if I could just replace the old ones with them. But they plant stuff in a diagonal square pattern, which screws over my entire base design (kind of)... But I remember reading about a config setting, which changes the way the multi farms plant to an actual square. Problem is, I can not re-find where I picked that up, even Google won't give any results.

So here are my questions: Is there such a config setting or am I just imagining things here? And what are you guys doing to work around the weird shape of the multi farms?


In best regards,

In the config folder is a folder called forestry. Inside of that folder is a file called common.conf in the tweak section there is an option to make the multifarms square. Its the last option in the list. Let me know if u need more help.

Thank you very much!

According to this page (http://forestry.sengir.net/wiki.new/doku.php?id=farms:structure), the size of the smallest farm is 11x11 blocks and the total amount of farm land is 72. When I modify the farms to be square, will the farm be 11x11 blocks large or will it consist of 72 blocks of farm land (~8,4x8,4 -> rounded up to 9x9?)?

It will be 11x11 now with many more blocks usable.

Thanks for the quick help, I really appreciate it =)

np I use the square settings myself. I feel it balances out the costs of the farm vs other mods that allow for automatic tree farming. IE MFR, SC2...

True. Also, the square design is much easier to set up. Oh, and it also looks a whole lot better in my opinion.

On a different note, are there any uses for all the "old" stuff I crafted? Or will that stuff just have to rot in my chests forever?

It will get deleted if you update past a certain point. He has completely removed them in later versions.

I think I read something about being able to take the old forestry farms and placing them in a crafting grid to get a few of the new multi-block farm blocks, so they won't exactly be lost. Just make sure to do it before you jump to forestry 2.2. (2.4 definitely has them removed, but is MC 1.5)

Tried that with my peat bog and turbary, it didn't work :-/

You must first disable old forestry farms in config to be able to uncraft them.

I disabled crafting them in the configs, but I can't uncraft them

Edit: Uncrafting recipes are set to true in the configs.

Edit 2: Never mind, got it.
