I'm kind of late on this, but this is an awesome update (watched a video spoiling all the new stuff hehe). But I have to wake up soon >.< can't play this till tomorrow evening, and then I'm going on vacation for a bit, too! Damn vacation, getting in the way of my Better Than Wolves.

Wow, I'm so adding a factory farm to my Minecraft + Better Than Wolves to do list, right after I finish my freakin multi-floor elevator. Some kinks to work out still. >.<

Really though, that set up is amazing. Hilarious video as well. :)

I know this isn't the direct fix you were looking for, but one option to consider is using Battosay's Bio clock as a simple trigger. If you put the pistons on both levels would you still have problems with the drops getting stuck in them? I just watched part of his Bio Clock tutorial and I am think...

So I've tried the monostable circuit and it helps a lot, but I was wondering if there was a way to make it pulse twice? I've been reading the wiki as well as attempting my own ideas but haven't gotten a good mechanism for it yet. I'm wondering because when the the reed is hit by the piston, the piec...

You could hook up the pistons to a monostable circuit, making them extend and retract quickly even if the DB was still seeing something. A monostable circuit is a circuit that breaks itself soon after receiving power, and so it only releases a quick pulse of power, no matter how long the input sign...

Okay thanks for the fast reply I'll try that.

Okay, so I decided to combine the capabilities of sensor blocks and pistons to create an entirely automatic reed farm (and eventually planned to apply the same concept to hemp). Basically, when the reeds reach a height of 3 blocks, a sensor block activates the piston directly underneath it and pushe...
