More power would allow it to be able to harvest for a longer period of time. I have 3 industrial steam engines powering it. The issue of faster harvesting is solved. I didn't realize it was harvesting so slowly because of the inventory being constantly full. I'm extracting items with pipes in 2 hatches feeding into a barrel. Using emerald transport pipes to get items out, and golden transport pipes to get them to the barrel. I had an idea, but I need to refine some oil into gasoline first. I'm going to try to use combustion engines to extract a full stack of items at a time through the emerald pipes.
