I can't make it out in the second screenshot as it's pretty dark, are those wood blocks or fences?

Lower rail is made from wood blocks, upper rail from fences. When upper rail is also made from wood blocks it's obviously not working even with harvesting.

@Leithfish

Hmm. I just tested this on my own server, and it didn't work there either. Looks like you found a bug. I'll get that fixed ASAP. :)

Edit: Meanwhile, use fences for the bottom row and it should work for now. Although the fixed release will use wood blocks of course.

Hi, I made a fully automated melon farm using a redstone machina bridge and the machina planter, but when I activate the planter using the redstone, it won't harvest the melons, but continues to move over them. Does this have something to do with the fact that the redstone bridge uses a player called Redstone-Bridge to activate the machines?

@Farlordo

Yes that's true, can you please add machinaplanter.harvest to the list of permissions in the MachinaRedstoneBridge config.yml file?

my planter is just untilling the land? what am i doing wrong?? i have hoes in the furnace and in the chest as well as seeds

@Edit: I set the planter one block too low (trying to hide the chest and furnace a bit so i could fit it all in my house)

@chimpysgotswag

Glad you got it working :)

Why mine isn't working? (Click to enlarge)

@Woelfi2008

This would be better handled in your ticket.

There are at least two functions of the planter, that are not correctly set up (imho):

1. If the soil is still farm land, one use of the hoe is consumed.
2. If the crops are fully grown, the bonemeal is consumed although there is no benefit from it.

It is possible the turn off the usage of the hoe for one or two tasks? E.g. the hoe is only used for tilling soil and harvesting but not for seeding?

@JanChris96

Thanks for spotting that, it'll be fixed in the latest release once it gets through approval. :) It will now only use bonemeal on unripe crops just before harvesting them.

I've also tuned the planter to only damage the hoe when tilling soil or harvesting crops. This would also allow a player to take out the hoe after a field is tilled and restrict the planter to planting seeds only.

@Lyneira

Many thanks for fixing it :) Your Machinas are awesome. It is a shame that Mojang did not implement such great helpers in the original Minecraft, yet.

( And it is my job to find bugs / glitches / not wanted "features" )

@Lyneira

1. Is it already fixed? cause i think bonemeal doesn't affect the crops grow speed at the moment with latest release. or how exactly does bonemeal effect?

2. what is the effect of the config option "use-energy: false" ? it's not documented.

3. Can you please implement a permission (and probably config option), that only players with it can build a working planter? cause on my server the planters should only be build by admins and certain players should be able to activate.

Same as Kartus goes for me: Looks like Bonemeal isn't used at all. It just resides in the chest.

Is there any way to externally control the lever? It's not using redstone/energy for switching. is it? This way redstone mania or something could be used to switch that by any other action then pulling the lever. I'd like to automate even further and not have to manually switch the lever whenever everything is ready to get cropped.

@Helmi_74

i gotta correct myself - Bonemeal is used but has no effect - basically that's what Kartus said :)

Any chance of this ever harvesting and planting Sugar Cane?

Errors appear when bonemeal is in chest. Any chance to fix it?
And... When I try to connect to server near planter:
Disconnected by server
Internal server error

@Kartus

1: Bonemeal use on wheat, carrots and potatoes is invisible at the moment because using it and replanting a fresh crop all happens in one tick. If you watch the chest as it goes you will see it being used though. :)

2: If you set use-energy to true, it will make the planter require and burn fuel just like the drill and the builder.

3: The permission machinaplanter.all controls who can activate a planter.

@Helmi_74

You can control the planter using MachinaRedstoneBridge, try this setup:

@batbat01

The planter's design isn't too well suited to harvesting sugarcanes, since it grows to a height where it would obstruct the planter's movement.

@Jacold

This should be fixed in MachinaCraft 4.1.9. :)

My issue is, when i give permission machinaplanter.all to citizen's of a town, they can build planets all over the world and activate and use them. but we have a towny system, that a town only can have one planter. at the moment, only admin's can activate the planter's and have to do it every day instead that the citizen's of the town can activate it by themselves.

Do you understand my issue? can you please help me?

Not sure whether it's a bug or not, but if you put a hoe in the lower part of the furnace, the planter will not harvest the fields, it will start the machine and it will move over the slots, it will even plant if nothing is planted. If you move it up to the upper part of the furnace, it will harvest? Is this a feature or a bug? if it's a feature, will it then automatically move hoes from chest to the upper part when used up?
