Pixelmon: Experimenting with Auto Farming Apricorns

in #blog9 years ago

If you don't know what an Apricorn is I'm here to educate. These are the different growth stages and the final growth stage is what allows you to harvest and create Pokeballs. This is something quite handy to learn in the game so you don't have to spend lots of money.

So I decided to see if there is a way to automate Apricorn farming and it turns out there is one possible way, it requires a ton of Bonemeal though and the patience to click the plant to harvest it as many times as the amount of Bonemeal you have. Bonemeal can be found in desert biomes by beating Cubones' spawn there.

There are 7 Colors in all.

Water doesn't effect them

Sticky/regular pistons do nothing but produce a block of wood, making the Apricorn tree useless.

So I took time to design this Redstone Machine, it works basically on the same principles as my Auto Chicken Cooker, except it is meant for Rapid Apricorn Growth.

It also has an On/Off switch to stop that horrible clicking noise from the Redstone Mechanism.

Finally here is the finished product. To work the machine, load your Bonemeal into the chest up top, place whichever kinda Apricorn you wish to grow into the dirt, flip the on off switch, and your all set to right click the Apricorns as they appear as fast as the machine can pump the Bonemeal on to them. This does not waste Bonemeal either. Once done, flip the switch off until your ready to use it again.

Gave some simple instructions.

Also left a door to get in and modify the circuit without breaking things.

So this is the only method I figured out on my creative world where I test things before adding them onto the server I play. Hope you guys enjoyed this. This decreases the need for taking up alot of land with Apricorn Plants.
