FTB Horizons Daybreaker - Automated Hemp and Cane farms?

[LordKhaos]

Alright, so I've gotten to the point in Immersive Engineering where I need Biodiesel for the Diesel Generator... I'm currently looking for an efficient way to automate the farming of Industrial Hemp and Sugarcane. I have a setup that uses pistons and all that, but it is way too slow. Does anyone know of a more efficient way to keep the Biodiesel flowing?

*Edit*
Currently testing out the Progressive Automation farmers.

*Edit 2*
Nevermind... that seems too slow as well. It would seem that harvesting large fields manually is the only real quick way to do this.

More pistons?

I mean, if you need to automate a diesel engine you probably have enough resources to make a hundred or so pistons.

And openblock hopper near. TPS frendly. No piston noise.

What is TPS? and I'm not sure how this works... What breaks the sugarcane?

 

[adamich]

TPS is Ticks Per Second. Normal is 20. If many lag machines TPS go down.

Oh right, should have know that! Sorry... Anyways, how does this setup work? What breaks the Sugarcane?
