fertilizer for forestry farm:
make a small area for cows. say 5x5. put a mfr sewer in the middle block of ground, put a +1 rad upgrade in it. get 4-5 cows in there. run a liquiduct from sewer to a composter, which will turn that mess into industrial fertilizer. autocraft it to the blue stuff. done =)
something i did on a test map to run a massive alveary farm with an automated seed oil/impregnated frame factory: set up a forestry multifarm orchard with chestnut tree. put a couple of turtles right underneath or facing the leaves on the tree. pipe in bonemeal and have them turtle.place() or placeUp() depending where the leaf block is. that will auto mature the leaves, producing a steady stream of chestnuts for seed oil (enough to keep a lot of squeezers running constantly). use a sleep(5), the multifarm will take a bit to catch the fruit from those blocks you just matured. keep a good supply of bonemeal to keep those things fed, use a TE pulverizer to get 6 meal per bone.
the turtle code would look like this:
Code:
turtle.select(1)
while true do
turtle.place() -- assuming turtle is facing the leaf block
sleep(5)
end
this setup works better if you use a factorization router, and have it fill slot 0 with bonemeal...that way you dont have to fill all 16 slots. save that to startup, done.
