Thaumcraft 4.2 golem help needed

[ZTB23]

I'm trying to automate crop harvesting in Regrowth 1.7.10. The only practical way of doing so in the pack is through the use of thaumcraft golems. The issue is that when the golem with a harvest animation core harvests plants, it isn't just harvesting the plant, it's breaking them. Putting the Order upgrade on it doesn't help any because magical crops won't work in regrowth because of Aggricraft. There's no way to have the golems reset the crop sticks before replanting, otherwise it would be fine. Can someone help me out?

This is a known issue with agricraft atm. But it's NOT the only way to farm them. Forestry farms can work if given the orchard electron tubes.

I know nothing of forrestry, so it never came to mind. Someone in the chat told me about the Forrestry farm, and I found a good tutorial on it on Youtube. Currently in the process of trying to build it, curious to see how it's going to work alongside Aggricraft crop sticks.

Really good resource for it.
Beats having to sift some video for bits of information.

There's also the official Forestry site: forestry.sengir.net

Thaumcraft golems and crops which U must right click for gathering? Try "USE" upgrade.

Hit a major roadblock. I finally got the multifarm figured out and built, but it wont accept Garden Core garden soil, the soil necessary to grow magical crops on. Is there anything I can do about this?

 

[ZTB23]

Nevermind, I just remembered I need the Orchard Electron Tubes. How do I install them into the farm?

If it works, you need to pick a Manual farm. Then set the dirt(soil) your self as the wiki tells you to.

Take a Soldering Iron, Set it in Manual Farm mode, Place in the Electro tubes, put in the Intricate Circuit Board. Drop the Circuit Board into the farm.

There's no way to do this and have the farm be automatic?

If you read the wiki I posted you will see there are two categories. One is called Automatic, the other is Manual. The Orchard is in the Manual section. It have nothing to do with it farming automatic or not. It has to do with placing and replacing the soil by it self or you have to do it initially manually.

EDIT: Actually it is called "Managed" and "Manual", sorry about that.

 

[ZTB23]

Ah. Ok. So all I have to do is set the soil myself and the farm will take care of the rest on its own after I've installed the tube and circuit board.

Yeah. It is basically because the forestry farm have a mechanic behind it that some crops will consume the soils and turn it into another block(like trees will turn dirt into sand, trees don't come from nothing you know ), so these are managed. But normal potatoes, wheat and stuff don't do that so those are just farmed on dirt that you place manually.

Remember to set the tubes up first. There's no confirmation. If you insert a blank circuit into the soldering iron UI it will immediately take any configured tubes and drop to the output slot.

 

[ZTB23]

Awesome. Thank you guys.

 

[ZTB23]

What about crop sticks? Will they be broken when the farm harvests the crops? Will it reset them if I supply it with them?

 

[KingTriaxx]

They shouldn't be.

 

[ZTB23]

ok

Finally finished setting all the soil and crop sticks for the farm, only to discover that the farm won't accept the Magical Crops seeds. I used the soldering iron, set it in manual mode, put in the intricate circuit board, then the 4 copper electron tubes. The farm is reading 4 orchard slots in it now, as was recommended to me. Did I do something wrong? Or is the farm just really particular about what goes into it
