2 years ago For the issue of overweight crops blocking your harvesters there are to solutions:
A: use a Mechanical Bearing, this will make all blocks that are part of the contraption, phase through any solid blocks(this works atleast for the current Create .5/Full Steam Update)
B: place a row of Mechanical Drills in front of the Harvesters, these will break the overweight crops and they even get you the overweight crop block for you and if you put a row of Mechanical Plows behind the Harvesters and then a row of Deployers filtered to the crops seed, behind the Plows, it can plow the dirt and replant the crop automaticly, the ideal order of blocks for this is: Mechanical Drill > Mechanical Harvester > Block for the Harvester to connect > Mechanical Plow > Block for the Plow to connect > Deployer(needs two blocks between itself and the farmland, these can be anything, so you can place them above the Plow´s connection block and they need to be filtered to the seed of the grown crop)
Problems with Create
The problem with Create and Overweight Farming is they don't work together. You may ask why, Well it is as followed. Create Harvester's are unable to mine the blocks therefor it will halt your farm in a broken position. The wither roses can't be used in a Create farm as the harvester's mine these and don't put them back. Also tried putting the wither roses as the same level as the crop dirt but this just doesn't work.
I hope to get a fix for this as this just removes the whole reason for a Automatic Create farm.
Problems with Villager Farms Now the problem with villager farms is also as followed. The blocks cause villagers to break other crops and ruin the farmland. They don't have the ability to pick up these blocks. You can't use wither roses in a villager farm as these roses hurt/kill the villagers when the walk into them.
I hope to also get a fix for this as this just breaks the whole villager farming mechanic really.
Suggesting a Config file Now I know this has been suggested before. But again I really would like to see a config file where the users and server administrators are able to tweak to their own likings. Make spawn rate changes, enable or disable certain features and more.
Overall this is a great mod, but it needs a lot of improvement on things that weren't really thought about correctly. Keep up the great work!
