your content is too good for it to not be getting more views. botania is a great mod but it only really shines when you can set up automation like this so you can do other things besides feeding flowers and i apreciate the effort.
Hey Riskable, i love your toturials. i have a tip, put like "this items is needed" at the start at the videos. it will make it really easy to follow! But i love your detailed & short videoes!
+Martin Andersen I do have a "Things you will need..." portion at the start of the video and I _usually_ go over _all_ the ingredients but in this video there were far too many ingredients for that (I recorded it originally but the segment was about 6 minutes long so it had to be edited out and replaced). If you look at the video description there's a link to a spreadsheet with all of the ingredients listed including some notes.
Might be a necro post, but I built this today in 1.12.2 and it worked great. Minor tweak of having to move the open crate which drops buckets over one space so the buckets hit the ground and not the fence. Drum of Gathering didnt want to fill them up on the fence. It almost looks in the video like the buckets are being pulled towards the cows, no idea what/why but moving things over 1 space fixed it. Thanks for the awesome tutorial :)
I feel like I'm late to the party but if you put a Mana Void under the Mana Pools on the sugar cane part it will make sure that the pool always has room.
+Justin Russell To make a Bore + Resistance lens combine a Bore Lens and a Resistance Lens in a crafting grid with a Slime Ball. That will create a Bore + Resistance Lens.
Build works great! One thing though, for minecraft 1.10+(maybe earlier?) you can drop food on animals and they'll pick it up themselves and get "moody". As a result the top layer needs a fence of some sorts so that wheat won't drop and feed the cows.
Something that would be nice is if you put the amount of resources needed in the description. I know that's a lot of work, but it would be really useful to have a list. Nice video. I will be building this on my server.
+Ethen Winright The ingredients list _is_ in the description. There's a link to a Google Sheet with everything: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iRITjh0UQQkZGbhoC6uKrAyDQ0CtVnIsvn_-GUtyCl0/pubhtml
+riskable OMG how do I like a comment more than once? is there a way to automate a repetitive pound on the like button "is there a "LikeLooping Lily" in the book? Your builds are true training videos and there is even documentation!
I just simply cannot get the cake ingredients to go in the right order. Then it sometimes sends multiples when I am only requesting one. I have tried all manner of combinations with the repeaters
You skipped the portion where you laid the redstone on the bottom floor. Following along with this and two of the first three dispensers on the track do not activate. Donno what's wrong cause video doesn't show it.
Just recently found botania and it has had some updates since this video, would love to see an updated version, i've spent hours trying to figure this out, maybe im doing something wrong but the bore resistance lens isn't breaking the sugar cane
My minecarts kept on glitching out, so I set up a corporea network that delivered seeds to the hoppers and it seems to be a massive improvement to the design.
look at the crafty crate while holding a wand of the forest, lets you see whats going on in the crafty crate, your materials are probably out of order of you forgot to put a corporia spark on something had same problem, turns out my eggs chest had no spark
I'm having a problem with the bore res lens'. they seem to shoot off mana in random directions after hitting the sugar cane and they break blocks on the structure and in the surrounding area. not sure how to fix this?
+Miranda Post That's wacky =) No idea what would cause that but whenever I have trouble with mana spreaders I just break and re-place them. Don't bind the sugar cane farm mana spreaders at all. That way you can be sure they're aiming perfectly parallel to the ground and that there's no angle (which can happen when you bind them to mana pools; they tend to point directly at the pool wall which is the bottom half of a block).
+trejkaz I'll be making a Pumpkin Pie build video soon that demonstrates some great ways to use the Crafty Crate *without* Corporea. Maybe I'll make a version of my cake farm that uses the same mechanism!
About the mana being too full in the sugarcane factory part, ever thought of using a mana void? when a pool is full, it removes any excess that goes in.
Might want to put the Master Corporea Spark on the Corporea Index - since that doesn't hold anything itself, it's usually the most logical place for it.
+John van Capel I don't usually do that because I like to locate my Corporea Index somewhere convenient on the outskirts of my Corporea network. That means my Master Corporea Spark needs to go in the center of everything. Usually on some chest or other cheap inventory item placed in the middle of everything. Dispensers in this build are the perfect spot since they're in the center and there's no need to access their inventory.
+riskable I think the "regular" Corporea Sparks interconnect though so the Master Spark doesn't actually have to be within reach of every single one of them just as long as all of them are in range of at least one other Spark in the same network. You could switch the places of the Index spark and the Master spark (the one on the dispenser) and everything would still work exactly the same. You can test this by making an Index and putting a Master Spark on it, putting a chest with some dirt in it far enough away to not connect, then put a chest in-between that's within range of both and Spark that one as well. Request some dirt from the Index before the in-between chest is placed and it won't work, but after the in-between chest is placed it will. There's even an unofficial name for chests used just to extend the range of a Corporea network - they're called Corporea Pillars.
John van Capel Oh I didn't realize that! I think in an earlier version of Botania I had some trouble when I didn't have the Master Corporea Spark in the center of everything but now (after reading the changelog) I think that was related to that old Y-axis issue where the Corporea Index needed to be closer than it currently does. It just so happened that by rearranging my Corporea Network I ended up placing the Corporea Index closer (on the Y axis) to the nearest Corporea Spark. So while I *thought* I was fixing it by placing the Master Corporea Spark in the center of everything I was probably just working around the Y axis issue.
+riskable Seems like it - no big deal, it's not like it really matters for the purpose of a Kekimurus farm. Heck, once you verify it's working you usually don't need the Index on it at all - I built exactly the one you did, and even if I set the timer that makes cakes to 20 seconds it still generates a surplus of everything. It's just a best practice if you actually want to be able to request stuff from the Index to put the Master Spark on top of said Index, so every actual inventory is accessible. PS. I jsut realized that I'm making a Touhou reference every time I call it a Master Spark. Vazkii would probably appreciate the humor in that.
REPLY TO SELF: 8 MONTHS LATER EDITION Also if you don't like having holes in that one waterfall (the one where there's also Redstone Mana Spreaders so you can't put normal blocks there), you can put Abstruse Platforms there and disguise them as whatever block you used for the walls. This is also useful for powering the Botanical Brewery or Runic Altar from underneath if you don't like seeing holes in the floor but also don't like the mana loss from Phantom Lenses. On another note, as of the current version (Williewillus's port, build 312) your setup crashes the game because of the Dispenser to clear out the Crafty Crate causing a Ticking Entity crash.
Only problem I have is that the server I am on has a sweeper that deletes dropped items every now and again so i lose buckets. Can anyone think of a way to improve this farm for my situation? thanks for your help. i loved the video, took a while to get all i needed but it was all worth it once i saw the first cake pop out.
+Jeremy Folkerts If you've got a server running something like ClearLagg (dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/clearlagg/) there's not much you can do other than ask the admin to disable the auto-clearing feature (it's a setting) or just be really vigilant about running to grab your buckets when you see that "entities will be cleared" message! hehe The *real* problem with server-side mods like that is they tend to completely hose minecart setups. Minecarts just-launched via Spectral Rails can show up as entities "on the ground" and can be deleted! So your buckets are a minor problem in comparison. I can't think of a way to work around the problem other than to use some other mod for getting milk from cows. For example, you could automate the collection and crafting of Soybeans into Soymilk if you have Pam's Harvestcraft installed. Those are just regular crops like wheat so you'd just need a second rail setup for those with another crafty crate. Other alternatives to automating milk: Autonomous Activators, ComputerCraft Turtles, Forestry Bees (ugh, so time consuming!), Advanced Genetics (insert the bovine milk gene into yourself!), Adventure Backpacks Cow backpack, Magical Crops, and of course, Minefactory Reloaded. Note: Server-side plugins that remove entities from the ground generally don't play well with Botania. You'll lose Mana Tablets and (*gasp*) your SS class Terra Shatterer!
First I want to thank you for your quick and thorough response. Good news, we have harvestcraft. I would set up a farm like the wheat one. would I need the same amount of plants? Not sure how long soybean takes to grow. I would also have a dispenser adding the soybeans to a presser and a corporea spark on the presser? How would I replace the spectral rails? Thank You so much for your help. I hope you enjoy making these sort of things as much as I do lol. I am pretty sure you do.
so what are the tweaks to make it run 1 cake every 15 seconds? also, my drums of the wild aren't harvesting all the wheat they leave like half of it, is this normal?
+Spencer Oldham The tweaks to make it make a cake every 15 seconds are mostly related to the sugar cane farm: You'll need more sugar to make that many cakes. I recommend just making another level to the farm or making another sugar cane farm on the other side of the structure. As for your drums: If they're not harvesting then they're probably too high in the air. They only work a few blocks above and below. Just move them down a bit and that'll probably solve it.
In the video it says you use Bore-Resistance lenses for the sugar farm, but your Google Docs spreadsheet says Bore-Efficiency. Which one is correct there?
+Nicholas Warren Oh geeze, I need to correct the doc. It is supposed to be Bore-Resistance. The Efficiency Lens only makes the mana bursts go 10% farther while the Resistance Lens makes mana bursts go 225% farther =)
Hey, I'm having a problem where only one bucket of milk is getting pulled per signal. All three are receiving signals, but only one is getting spat out whenever the signal pulses. Any ideas?
+connor pinnel That's a strange problem... I'd double-check that your hoppers are facing each other correctly (break and re-place them). Are your other ingredients showing up OK? Also try playing with the timing. A tick is _supposed_ to be 20 per second but if your system is bogged down it can be less than that resulting in the timing being off.
I tried to make this farm step by step, but, i noticed that when the hovering hourglass runs out, the craftry crate drops every single ingredient but the milk, and thats because theres no milk in the system. Apparently, my drum of gathering isnt working, because the pulse mana spreader sends a signal to it, but id doesnt collect the milk, and i have no idea why its happening
In the beginning you said it produces alot of mana beside the cakes and now its just producing cake?O.o Is there a way to change the setup to get spare mana and not just cake?
Quick problem I watched the video twice now and I still can't see what i've done wrong what is the thing that fills the buckets with milk? Because I must have set it up wrong because my buckets aren't filling with milk.
Riskable - I'm having an issue where the carts don't push each other the way yours do. When the cart is loading with seeds the other cart shoots around but hits the first cart and doesn't push the cart enough to catch a booster rail. Occasionally the second cart also sticks in the blocks after hitting the first rail. Any hints or tips?
+silent burn I've never had that happen so I'm not certain but I would suggest putting a Powered Rail right before the Spectral Rail to give the incoming cart some extra "oomph". Also, you're using Hopper Minecarts, right? Not Chest Minecarts. I haven't tested this setup with Chest Minecarts--they might not do as good a job pushing each other out of the way. Also, what version of Botania are you using and do you have Railcraft installed?
+riskable I'm pretty sure I have it figured out, I let it run long enough that I was overflowing with seeds and so the minecarts never wanted to leave from under the seed chest. After emptying some of the dispensers and the reducing the amount in the chest they started going again. The only thing now is every great once in awhile they will try to launch together and get stuck but it usually works itself out. Great video and thanks for the reply sir!
This is a good problem to have because it's so easy to fix: Just add another double or three-tier sugar farm on the other side of the structure. So much easier than running out of wheat! Of course, it's not as easy as dealing with not having enough eggs :D
+riskable ya that must of been it, i can see it now. just tried to copy the build to learn a bit, but i'm having trouble with the hopperhocks, they are picking up everything not just whats in the item frames, (mainly just the one in the middle) so my cakes never get placed (the hopperhock picks them up first).
madwills You know, I had that same problem briefly when I was making this build (I made and re-made it several times). I fixed it by re-placing the item frames and *then* Hopperhock. Hopefully that'll work for you.
+Kane York ...and throw mana away!? Never! Better to ensure that no mana is wasted. If you're really concerned about those pools filling up and the sugar cane farm ceasing to function it would be better to just use mana minecarts with pumps to move the mana elsewhere.
+riskable I just didn't spark them, instead pointing redstone mana spreaders at them and setting up a system to get mana to those Spreaders, along with Comparators on the pools in the sugar cane farm. Pools empty, redstone signal gets sent out and mana gets refilled by the spreaders. Also putting a Mana Void on the Sparked pools in the sugar cane farm will actually kill all the mana generation since the Sparks will still pull from the Kekimurus pool even when the pool is full. Needless to say, this is a Very Bad Idea.
+Byren Conforti The drum is currently bugged and doesn't always harvest agricraft. There is a fix coming to Agricraft..soonish. He just hasn't released the fix. The drum does not break the agricraft plants, just harvests them, so you can skip all of the dispensers and minecarts and such, as no replanting is required.
+Silverknive It's in 720p now. You probably just got to the video before it was done being completely processed. A tip o' the hat to you for being so quick to see it though! :)
your content is too good for it to not be getting more views. botania is a great mod but it only really shines when you can set up automation like this so you can do other things besides feeding flowers and i apreciate the effort.

Are you still able to make the boar resistance lenses
Why have I not found your channel before, this is what I need trying to automate mana gives me a headache.
I feel like I'm late to the party but if you put a Mana Void under the Mana Pools on the sugar cane part it will make sure that the pool always has room.
So is it just me or does anyone else have a problem not being able to make the bore resistance lens?
+Justin Russell To make a Bore + Resistance lens combine a Bore Lens and a Resistance Lens in a crafting grid with a Slime Ball. That will create a Bore + Resistance Lens.
+riskable The Slime Ball is usually the problem. I know I keep forgetting that thing is necessary.

@@riskable oh yeah! It's crazy trying to figure out everything, your tutorials are still helpful even with the changes, thank you!
My minecarts kept on glitching out, so I set up a corporea network that delivered seeds to the hoppers and it seems to be a massive improvement to the design.
WOW all that and cake too, Thanks
Having a problem making the cake, Repeaters are set as per the video, but they just drop the items and no cake.

I already made the video :) Check my channel for the Pumpkin Pie tutorial. It crafts it all without corporea.
About the mana being too full in the sugarcane factory part, ever thought of using a mana void? when a pool is full, it removes any excess that goes in.
Currently playing in 16.5. I'm having problems with the spectral rail since the minecarts don't always go through the blocks properly
thanks man, this is an amazing build.
How do I make floating functioning flora? I can't find this information anywhere. :(
You have to make a floating mystical flower and then just put it in a crafting grid with the functional flower.
I know I'll never build it but.. That was one insane and fancy auto farm :P
I wonder if there will ever be a 1.20.1 ver of this ....
hey dude, nice vids on ur channel. Plz do some more TARDIS Mod stuff as thry were really useful and helped me learn about the mod alot :)

This guy is serious about cake.
Does anyone else keep running out of sugar? I have a three level sugar farm and it still doesn't manage to keep up with the demand.
This is a good problem to have because it's so easy to fix: Just add another double or three-tier sugar farm on the other side of the structure. So much easier than running out of wheat!
Of course, it's not as easy as dealing with not having enough eggs :D
Good solution, but I just decided to "acquire" some lilypads of fertility from Reliquary and now I'm all sugared up. :D

madwills You know, I had that same problem briefly when I was making this build (I made and re-made it several times). I fixed it by re-placing the item frames and *then* Hopperhock. Hopefully that'll work for you.
Is this still a build that can work
Instead of adding more mana pools to the distribuitors, why not just use a Mana Void?
+Kane York ...and throw mana away!? Never! Better to ensure that no mana is wasted. If you're really concerned about those pools filling up and the sugar cane farm ceasing to function it would be better to just use mana minecarts with pumps to move the mana elsewhere.
+riskable I just didn't spark them, instead pointing redstone mana spreaders at them and setting up a system to get mana to those Spreaders, along with Comparators on the pools in the sugar cane farm. Pools empty, redstone signal gets sent out and mana gets refilled by the spreaders.
Also putting a Mana Void on the Sparked pools in the sugar cane farm will actually kill all the mana generation since the Sparks will still pull from the Kekimurus pool even when the pool is full. Needless to say, this is a Very Bad Idea.
Power!!!!!!!! Unlimited, Power!!!!!!!!!!
Would this work with agricraft?
+Byren Conforti The drum is currently bugged and doesn't always harvest agricraft. There is a fix coming to Agricraft..soonish. He just hasn't released the fix. The drum does not break the agricraft plants, just harvests them, so you can skip all of the dispensers and minecarts and such, as no replanting is required.
Jake Dykes cool thanks
the Count, really? god dangit... *shakes head*
Your "Dead Center" is wrong. It's one block off.

360p club.Btw nice vid bro
+Silverknive It's in 720p now. You probably just got to the video before it was done being completely processed. A tip o' the hat to you for being so quick to see it though! :)
I know, your vids are the first i watch (;
+riskable can you start making crazycraft vids again please youre awesome
+Dylan Barrett If I made CrazyCraft videos again what would you like to see? Build/instructional videos like this one or just "Let's Play" videos?
Doesn't he sound like a higher pitched direwolf20
cool if you're playing with just boanita... but there's so many ways to make this more efficent....
