I did not mean that I think it's OP to move rubber logs, I rather find it handy myself, but it seemed back then the developers of IC and Portalgun did think that, that's all
and it'd be weird if the cheaper gravity gun would be able to move resin logs while the more expensive portalgun can't...

I agree with the forestry method trivializing rubber uses mid game onwards - but moving spawners is a little "cheesy". The most powerful mob spawners outside the end are always using spawner blocks, and because of that usually reserved for creative mode shenanigans before starting play in survival mode.

In terms of vanilla mechanics with mob farming- moving/placing spawners is somewhat limited as they only work within 16 blocks of a player. Unless you set up next to a well used part of your base you'll rack up a lot of AFK time.
Generally dark room farms outstrip spawners as they run continuously as long as the chunks stay loaded. The end spawners are crazy powerful as the only space for endermen to spawn is inside the spawn trap- build one in a void world or ocean biome and you'll achieve the same with regular mobs.

Soulshards are a far more OP way of moving and building spawners.

Soulshards built legitimately will take quite a bit of effort though...

Depends on the mob type;

Cave spider/blaze - almost no effort thanks to forts/mines
Spider/zombie/skeleton - some effort required in location dungeons
-level of portal/gravigun/frame collected spawners-
pigmen- they come to you, pack a decent weapon and armour
endermen- harder too kill than pig zombies, but can be done quite easily with a 2 block high shelter
-level of full scale vanilla farm-
creepers- this takes a lot of work to do.
ghast- not that there's much use for a t5 unless your griefing someone, in which case good effort!
 
The resin holes can actually disappear so you have to keep replacing them if you lose one. They "change position" on the tree trunk but if you remove the rest of the trunk you don't get the relocated hole. But what I have done is just take out the holeless logs and leave the resin logs floating and tap them every few days when they all have resin in them. I get about 4 stacks of resin from one round. Also could plant 100 more rubber trees.

Here's my Rubber Tree farm:

I thought that it was unlikely to be an original idea but I did stumble across it myself. I haven't had any spots disappear yet but I have only tapped it a couple of times as I acquired ridiculous amounts of rubber growing the trees to set it up.

Also it's a shame that there's no way to rotate blocks with the GG - not for rubber trees specifically, but I'm moving all my Project Tables and they're ending up the wrong way around.

Nether stars aren't expensive thanks to redpower 2's Vorpal enchant. Stick that on a weapon and go for 20 minutes in a fortress and you will ahve more nether stars then you will ever need.

False. Only looting helps with wither skulls.
 
Well, if they do end up removing this easier way to get rubber, kill a ton of slimes and get rubber from them. I have a soul shard of them, which is actually not hard, because each slime (whether big or small) will give you a soul, I think someone calculated it as around 40 large slimes to get a tier 4?
 
Way back in the first post you wondered if you could rotate logs, there is a log turner which works on all kinds of logs, never tried rubber though. I skimmed the thread and didn't see any mention of it, sorry if I missed it.

I'll have to try that someday...
