Enhancement Request: Tree harvester / planting

This request was on the minecraft forum today.

Would be great if we had some mekanism machine which would harvest wood from local trees and also planted trees/saplings. The request made a mention of a tower looking model (would assume a sentry looking tower) or perhaps something similar to the digital miner (I suppose you could use the digital miner) but how about a sapling deployment system.

I know BuildCraft is working on a robot system which does something very similar and needs axes to chop down trees.

Sounds like a good enhancement.

I hope this is still a thing,

I would like to see that. Especial in the new Versions of Mekanism, which provides all sorts of new and cool machines! I think this would be a good addition!

commented

Just a slap in the face realisation but could you make a lazer tree farm.

I just want to note: its not only to farm Crops also to farm Trees...

Whoops, I thought I was looking at this issue: #1647
My mistake :)

commented

:) it's all good. Figured it was an honest mistake.

commented

I don't plan on adding a way to disable blocks as you can already disable recipes with already-existent mods. Sorry :(

commented

Unless I'm reading this wrong, I don't think they're asking to remove/disable blocks. It looks like they want to add in an automated way to harvest/plant trees/saplings like how MFR's machines do it.

commented

i like this idea! minefactory has always lagged me.

commented

Yeah, I agree with that this sounds like a good idea. I don't enjoy MFR honestly and it would certainly be awesome to have an alternative to some of their more unique automation concepts. MFR seems to have no problem with "magic boxes" though and I'm not sure if a more realistic, or at least believable, way of automated planting/harvesting exists.

commented

that would explain the lag. i hope forestry gets a proper 1.7.10 release so i can use auto-farms again

commented

@TurtleGalaxis I think that's due to all the block updates that the harvester causes.
