Way to Farm GeoStrata Purple Crystals (XP crystals)?

[UnholyHakisak]

hey,
Im running FTB monster. and i was wondering if anyone knows a way of farming the XP that the GeoStrata purple crystal's gives players when they stand close to it without actually having a player standing on a drain.
eg: can you automatically get it as a liquid into the buildcraft fluid pipes somehow?
anyone know?
if soo, what is the largest possible fluid tank per the space that it takes up (most compact)?
thanks in advance

Open Blocks has an Exp drain and a tank to drain exp from a player. The issue is that, to my knowledge, it can't be automated. Just pump it out with what ever piping you want.

Railcraft's multiblock tanks are fantastic for liquid storage. The steel tanks are quite "expensive" though, but have increased capacity.

hmmm, thanks anyway. i know about the XP drain, but was just wondering if theres a way to automate it without the player standing on a drain next to the crystals.

Tinkers' Construct Essence Berry Bushes can be automated with Thermal Expansion's Autonomous Activator.

Here's a Direwolf20 vid of where he builds a set up for it:

They only spawn XP orbs to players as of many versions ago (around December 10).

they are not that rare , at least in my world.and if you mine them with fortune 3 pick you get 8-12 crystals per crystal 'block'.

Essence berries are what he was talking about, and yes, they are quite rare.
Crystals? Spot on, yes, correct. Not what @Wagon153 was talking about, nor @Pilkie as a reminder.
