Just confirmed, there is limited utility to the Forestry Multifarm when it comes to Pam’s Harvestcraft crops. Looks like you have to have manual farms, and different circuits (ie: crop, vegetable, fruit). My sample setup is just making vegetables:

I know that there is no autonymous activator, and that the opencomputers robots can right click late game. I’m looking for another “fake player” mod if someone can recommend one.

I’m looking at adding Activators, a single tiny mod.

I tweaked it to use GT items for the Redstone Activator.

Any opinions?

This should allow right clicking by redstone signal on Pam’s crops. I tested this in single player, and was able to have it right click crops to “pop” them. They still have to be picked up by something else.

I certainly lean toward having parts to make a system, instead of a giant multiblock structure.

It seems reasonably well-priced (in terms of crafting requirements, I mean) and isn’t absolutely game-changing, and I think it’ll be a great addition to DD.
I definitely like the fact it’s not one magic multiblock but rather a part of a larger whole, though I’m uncertain how laggy it’d be in really large setups.

I already updated so it’s in game now. I think it’ll be ok.

In accordance of my ancient habit of heavily personalising things, I made a resourcepack changing the sun and moons of DD.

The textures are heavily edited random art from DuckDuckGo image search.

Here are the moon “phases”. Just enough to tell what phase the game thinks it is, for stuff like slime spawns.

The bloodmoon indeed works, and is suitably terrifying.

That is super awesome!

Why dont you just use Bing, because that’s what DuckDuckGo is since a year… just Bing and nothing else.

Another fun thing, if you take a picture of a low res moon with a Samsung Phone camera it will replace it with a high res moon because AI enhancements.

Because even a token effort to fuck Microsoft is the right thing to do?

I mean, it’s not like over 3 decades they’ve ever stopped trying to fuck you over.

I know about DuckDuckGo being crap like all the other search engines, but there aren’t any better alternatives: this is the “”“best”"" option I have

Pretty sure Brave got a better Search alternative since a few years. https://search.brave.com/

Explosive fun with Botania.

Well that’s disconcerting…

Does the explosion generate mana?

2 Likes

Yep. The entropy flower absorbs the explosion safely IF IT IS EMPTY. Then that mana is usable.

The system here is using a block placer to put down TNT, a redstone clock to ignite it, and the flower to absorb it. The key is to send the flower’s mana to a local temporary mana pool, while monitoring the pool for any mana (ie: is the flower completely empty). Another mana spreader on top of the local pool sends the mana off to the main pool. The comparator and timer together mean if the local pool is empty for a full 30 seconds, place more TNT because the flower is certainly empty.

I remember in older versions of Botania, the entropy flower can accept duped tnt so…

I live in a Magic Forest biome which produces huge quantities of Witches. It’s horrible early game, but now that I have a moat and a mob grinder I get unlimited Redstone, Glowstone, healing potions, and GUNPOWDER.

TNT isn’t so rare it needs to be duped.
