recently, I have been having trouble with these on the new Direwolf20 pack.

Before, when this was easy, the bog earth would turn into peat, then the auto farm would remove the peat, and it would turn into a dirt block, then the dirt block would be replaced by another bog earth block (when the machine has it in stock).

What is happening now, is the bog earth turns into peat, and then the peat block is broken to harvest both the peat, and the dirt at the same time.

This change makes sense, but the problem im having is that now i have to place the bog earth manually, every time it turns to peat and breaks. This is a huge pain, it defeats the point of making this, and I have been at this for a while trying to find solutions but I'm just convinced that the multi farm does not want to replace broken blocks anymore. When it harvests peat, it just leaves the space empty now until I place the bog earth myself.

Is there a new item I'm missing so that I can automate this again?

This is likely because you set your Soldering Iron to 'Manual' mode when creating the circuit board to go in your peat multifarm; I'm not sure why, but for peat farming, you can use either 'Managed' mode (which is what you're used to), or 'Manual' mode where you have to place the bog earth yourself. Don't get me wrong, Manual mode is necessary for some things, but for peat, eh.

To fix; make a new Intricate Circuit Board, and 4 more Tin Electron tubes, and solder them onto it in Managed Farm mode. Click on the circuit board that's already in the multifarm WITH your soldering iron to remove it, and stick the new one in.
