Is there a way to automate or make a tree farm with Project Red Dye Saplings? They don't work with MFR cause I tried that. Any other alternatives?
 
I've got one going with Golem's, Autonomous Activators. I have 16 Activators spaced in a 4x4 grid supplied by logistic pipes, 4 lumber golems (their range is very limited) and one collecting golem with a range upgrade.

Only a couple of minor issues, with only one tree of each type, you don't end up with a huge number of saplings, and getting 4 lumber golems is a bit of a pain.

I think that Rorax was doing something similar, but she had two activators, so I assume that one was placing and another was chopping somehow (I suspect either a TiC Broad Axe or Axe of the Stream) and then vacuum hoppers hoovering everything up.
 
Update your MFR. The latest version works perfectly with PR saplings.

Here's the latest change log...
2.7.5
  • Added: Repair-only mode for AutoAnvil
  • Added: AutoSpawner config blacklist
  • Added: Plastic bag
  • Added: Sacred Rubber Sapling
  • Added: Ejector can move fluids too
  • Added: Support for TC4 manapods
  • Added: ProjectRed dye tree support
  • Changed: Recipes for NeedleGun, SPAMR, ammo
  • Changed: TE Recipe for PortaSpawner
  • Changed: Passenger rails can pick up & drop off mobs when powered by redstone
  • Changed: PortaSpawner reacts to minecarts
  • Changed: Planter&Fertilizer will only accept usable items from pipes
  • Changed: Harvester only harvests connected blocks for trees
  • Changed: Potion effects for drinking MFR liquids
  • Changed: MagicalCrops support moved to MagicalCrops' side
  • Fixed: AutoAnvil eating output items
  • Fixed: Water flowing over conveyors
  • Fixed: Needles render again
  • Fixed: HarvestCraft support, thanks to delta534
  • Fixed: Error spam with empty IC2 crop sticks
  • Fixed: Laser drill lag issue when beam cannot form
  • Fixed: Ruler sometimes resetting before measurement can be completed
  • Fixed: Passenger rails

The Project:Red saplings take forever to grow on their own, but MFR fertilizer works on them. ;)

Edit: since the dye trees give oak wood, I'm also getting tons of oak wood from my dye farms.

Thanks Michael280, just updated my version of MFR and it works. Do you know of any easy ways to find the Stained Saplings?
