auto-farming system

[milocricket]

hey, if you want to see a really easy and efficient auto-farming system, see this.

The term "auto-farm" refers to the planting and harvesting of a crop without need for a player interaction. You have a weed-ex auto production facility. Not that I'm saying your creation is bad, just that it is titled wrong.

Now figure out how to get hydration cells and water cells into the cropmatrons

(Problem: crop matrons will not autoplace items in the correct slot)

This was fixed in the latest versions of IC2 I think? Each item has it's own input side now.

i tried putting them in each side while i was testing it, but it never seemed to work right.

A crop-matron will cover a 9x9x3 area. That's 4 blocks away in all 4 directions and one block both up and down from the machine. I don't think you need that many. Both a water source block and a crop-matron cover a 9x9 area. See if you could use this fact to streamline your design.

I mean IC2 1.103 and later.

[warpspeed10]

So 1.103 made the crop matron an i-sided inventory? Did it also fix fertilizer, water, and weed-ex being applied to fully grown crops?

I'll present you the changelog.

Fixed sided inventory for the Crop-Matron (Hydration Cells top, Weed-EX bottom, Fertilizer sides)

However, I'm not sure about the second point.
