This is my current base in Agrarian Skies
I was wondering where should I put a mob grinder. Any suggestions?[DOUBLEPOST=1413169286][/DOUBLEPOST]

doesn't really matter where you put it, as long as it's about 21-22 blocks above you, and not too far away otherwise mobs will not start spawning

This. So much this. :)

I made this mistake with my first farm as well. Such a pain.

My relocated farm I put right above my primary working area. Because I don't like getting rained on and it served as a limited "umbrella" for a portion of my base. In my other worlds, once I have enough clear glass and a builders wand, I usually go up to the world ceiling and cover my entire base area. (assuming my world has an outdoor base)

Actually, I just tore (burned) down the drop tower that I had built and built a 5x5x3 dark room with an MFR grinder on it in the same place. Took me way less time then building a new tower someplace else and TONS of ethereal essence from the wisps and mana beans/knowledge fragments form the Pechs.

I like to put a mob farm smack dab in the centre of my Agrarian Skies worlds. As long as the main spawning room is far enough above you it'll spawn stuff no problem.
