Awackypenguin Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 At the moment, I have an automated sugar cane farm with pistons. It works beautifully, except for one problem. Often times, sugar cane pieces would get stuck onto the blocks the sugar cane is growing on, so it doesn't fall in the water. I use the ItemStacker plugin to reduce lag, and often times this could mean 5-6 pieces of sugar cane per farm being stuck. Does anyone have any tips for this problem? Heres a screenshot to help out: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningCake Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Use block breakers and pneumatic tubes instead of pistons and water channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethervoid Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 You could use transposers where the water is. If powered by redstone they'll suck in a 3x3 square of items in front of the input hole. That should gather all the items for you. Would need red alloy wire and a timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really used block breakers and pneumatic tubes before, but I'll give them a try. You could use transposers where the water is.

Can they output through a BC pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZE MkIV Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Buildcraft has an obsidian pipe that will suck items in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure, however rp tubes are said to be better, however once dropped off into a chest you can use bc pipes for further transportation.
