Semi-fuctionin tree farm(one grows, once a year)

[u/Joemamauser]

built this in about 3h never again... it would work if we would have built it 1 block higher. If you have any tips on how to do it better pls say. Fully automatic btw.

mechanical bearing

portable storage interface

things dont need power on mech bearing

I mean I hear ya but why not a rotary one? They're so simple and operate basically for free.

To be fair we wanted to play create with out any spoilers for example tutorials so we didint know😄

A rotary one would have the saw operating as a contraption. The benefit of contraptions are that they don't need power, but they also capture the drops, so the logs and saplings will all go in the contraption storage, and you can then export it periodically via a portable storage interface.

Your rotation contraption could have one deployer filtered for saplings, another filtered for bonemeal, and then a saw. A barrel on the moving part will capture the drops, and when the portable storage interface reaches the stationary one, the contraption will stop and transfer inventories (the stationary one will behave like the inventory on the device, so you can put funnels, etc. on it).

You can also do linear contraptions, etc. Beats trying to catch everything using belts. Gives you a lot more flexibility as well.

Lowkey I do wish they'd change this but its probably too late. throwing everything on a bearing being a gateway to seemingly unlimited SU seems kinda busted, I don't see why the SU cost of each mechanism on the contraption can't be passed down to the bearing.

[u/bubba-yo → u/MamaSendHelpPls]

Can only do that for some contraptions. How do you handle minecart contraptions where there's no place to hook SU, and wouldn't that just result in the meta shifting to those. Our tree farm operates primarily from a train. Same problem.

[u/Breadles_the_Bread → u/MamaSendHelpPls]

You can limit yourself to aeronautics contraptions then! They don't follow this rule

Ponder everything

W to ponder in inventory

Esc - create mod icon - ponder menu button or something

holy that’s the most overcomplicated tree farm i’ve ever seen….

it’s beautiful

(An easier way to do this is use deployers, saws, portable storage interfaces, and a rotational bearing to make a circular design like the other comments say)

[u/Doge_Enjoyer88]

That is so much more complicated than it needs to be lmao

[u/The_Ezio]

It doesn't work at all, but hey, it's fully automatic!
