Yep turns out I was being a dumbass. I hadn't set any filters up for rubber, and not chests would accept them, meaning they shot out of my pipes and sat on the floor until they despawned

It looks like sometimes when the fertilizer grows a sapling, then the tree will grow, but a sapling will just appear on the floor. I don't think I am losing saplings, but the loose ones on the floor dont get picked up. As for the rubber, I can see in my storage network I only have rubber wood

Ok so I have a nice little set of sewers running into a composter, and I have some rubber trees planted. Does the harvester actually get any rubber, or just rubber wood and saplings? I have left it to run for about and hour, and dont seem to have any rubber.

Awesome thanks, will try that tonight. I haven't done much with MFR reloaded yet, so I wasn't aware the composter existed or could make fertilizer. I was using the crafting recipe of bonemeal, string and sticks! lol.

What do you do for fertilizer production? I'd like to automate it, but not sure of the most efficient way of doing it.

I think what i'll do, because I have the emerald upgrades, is move my farm somewhere else with more space. Then I can just have one planter, one harvester and one fertilizer managing a much larger farm.

Lol nevermind I figured it out, it was because I was using an emerald range upgrade, but my farm wasnt big enough, so had to drop down to a tin upgrade. What a goof!! Eds

Hi guys, I have searched for an answer to my issues to see if they are known bugs, but in Tekkit 1.1.10, using I think MFR 2.6.4-975, I have some issues with my auto farm. Basically, the planter seems to be ignoring my filter, and simply planting the first thing in the inventory on every available block. It also seems to be very slow, even though being powered by Energy cell with 100MJ/t output via conduit. I can see the idle bar moving downwards very quickly, but it is not doing any work. The same slowness seems to apply to my fertilizer and my harvester. As for my fertilizer, it doesnt seem to be fertilizing anything, again the idle bar is moving, but nothing is being grown any quicker. Finally the harvester does it's job, but again incredibly slowly!! The filter is my primary concern, not sure what it could be? Cheers Eds
