Wow a response while I was editing ! :) as you may see I have a design in mind to share tonight:)
Do you see my point? The hopper being filled doesn't signal that the minecart is full--- ohhhhh! I see now!!! The hopper can only fill when a minecart is full too!!! Gotcha! :)

IIRC a powered rail won't move a cart unless the cart is already in motion or there is a solid block behind the cart, so you should be able to use a block on a sticky piston to trigger the rail. Actually this is true, I have used a system that abused this for a very long time. Of course mine uses a...

Coming from a post-grad who dual majored in physics and computer sciences, yes FlowerChild, just yes

Great design man! I had the same idea with the BD on a turntable. Unfortunately I'm trying to make mine waterless and well ... :/ Also a design I frequently use for stream splitters uses a vanilla dispenser on top of a block with a torch on the side on a turntable. You can control how many streams y...

This is possible on vanilla, though I've never tried tiling it. Look up RS NOR Latch in the redstone mechanism section of the minecraft wiki
EDIT: grammar fail...

Good job on the tutorial video man! the only thing i can think of to say is that if you introduce a pulse extender to the pistons it vastly reduces the loss in such systems. Another option is to do away with the Buddy block and put an extra piston in front of the detector with no hemp beneath it so ...

I have one thing to say about this and one thing only FlowerChild, I expect a Companion Cube ;) just for posterity's sake. A true reminder of how far you've come and how far you plan to go. I've enjoyed this community for a long time and am looking forward to RTH rising from the ashes of Mojang's mi...

You know dawnraider you could use a small reed farm to drop a reed onto a pressure plate. When the item decays a piston automatically breaks a reed plant and pushes a reed item onto the pressure plate. It's really quite simple and can be extended with repeaters if you want to customize the exact tim...

Okay I'm officially an idiot.(EDIT: This may actually be true) While screwing around with bonemeal I realized that my whole elevator set up was completely unnecessary (and lame because of the way I took advantage of HC buoy without HC buckets). I realized that using bonemeal and grass planters it is...

Sorry FlowerChild for the confusion, it never crossed my mind that timber! might have been the cause when I posted the bug in the tech support sub-forum... It's curious why it does this though because it doesn't overwrite anything btw changes...

Unfortunately I recently started a fully automated compact SFS factory on top of an enormous sand dune... Time to build a road... And an elevator...

Well However I do like it a little because it avoids the trouble you have with other animals when trying to lure them: "does it still follow me?" Yeah... I might try to make wolves follow more closely but having not inspected the actual code yet I am not yet sure what is feasible given FC'...

Oh god... Wheat is an automation NIGHTMARE already and you want to make it more complicated? This would make automated modules utterly untileable due to the requirement of a reliable stream splitter BEFORE it hits an elevator... I'm usually good at minimizing automated devices but this is. Just... I...

Will Completely remove wolf teleportation. 'Nuf said...

I am interested in your opinions on this add-on for a variety of reasons, particularly when it comes to teleportation bugs :)

Yeah, I've tried that but the problem is that it's actually not possible to put a hopper ontop of the sapling placer without severely affecting the growth of trees. This frustrated me enough to make a creative solution in the suggestion sub-forum. (also, blood wood doesn't suffer this problem, but f...

Before anyone goes off on me for posting a suggestion for something that was purposely removed, please read my suggestion carefully. I have been with btw since 1.8.1 (Only recently registered to take part in conversation so I hope people recognize that my low post count has nothing to do with being ...

Here is a quick preview of the monstrosity (Note that it is WIP. Yes, it gets bigger.) http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s465/dawnraider4089/0bc2b8af-1001-4c01-8fdc-7792d3b4fe36_zps0a50f47a.jpg Yeah, I've been working on mine in my legit world recently. In order to get the maximum efficiency I ha...

Now that I look at that though there is a lot of extra redstone in my correction of DR's module, I'll try and minimize it. EDIT: I did it! As compact as physically possible and its even cheaper than before! here's the design: http://i.imgur.com/65JIj9w.png The block dispenser has a slab and stone in...

Just encase it wasn't clear, it is a detector block on the end of the piston.

You forget that a buddy block will detect the detector block turning on AND off, causing 2 pulses and wasting a seed.

Having hardcore spawned into an amazing location in my world (a sand village mostly generated in a plains biome and 2 skellie Dungeons in a cave system very close by, all less than 300 blocks from a stronghold) after only the first few days of punching trees, I managed to find my stronghold rather q...

Wait, I was actually right about buildings disintegrating in my previous post? huh, I thought i was joking... I must be a genius...

Oh no... soon hordes of silverfish will conquer our worlds and we will all be forced to retreat to the nether or End!

On a side note: I wonder how FlowerChild has made silverfish not detract from building out of Stone and Stone Brick...
or if he has at all...

Tried recreating that one, it wasn't working properly :/ http://i.imgur.com/lAqjF1T.png Yeah, if you look at it closely there are two reasons why this doesn't work properly and a third issue that affects this design. The first problem is the detector block sends a DOUBLE pulse to the buddy,(this is...

Thanks a ton for that, once that's done my SFS factory will be even more efficient so I can build my beacon faster! :)

So I recently constructed a rather complex overworld tree farm using a sand pusher and some various other bits and prices to move the logs into a, yet again, rather complex tube kiln. when I test the farm with blood wood and manually grow the tree with a soul urb it works fine, the wood goes to the ...
