Frequently asked questions

How do I start farming with this mod?
Place a Liquid Siphon in any water source, connect Liquid Pipes to a Hydroponics Bed, then insert seeds into the bed's four planting spots. The bed will automatically draw water from connected pipes and grow your crops.
Do Liquid Tanks need to be touching to share water?
Yes, Liquid Tanks must be placed directly adjacent to each other to merge into a combined storage pool. When connected, they display a shared fluid level and combine their total capacity.
How do I filter items through pipes?
Right-click the end of an Item Pipe to open its terminal menu, then set up whitelist or blacklist filters to control which items pass through that connection point.
Can I use this mod's machines with crops from other mods?
Yes, Hydroponics Beds work directly with extra crops from Farmer's Delight and Croptopia, so you can automate a wider variety of plants.
What's the difference between Husbandry Beds and Butcher Beds?
Husbandry Beds house animals and collect their yields like wool, eggs, milk, and honeycomb without harming them. Butcher Beds process animal pairs into meat and Liquid XP while preserving the breeding stock.
How do I get Liquid XP?
Use an XP Drain to deposit your player levels into a connected tank as Liquid XP, or collect it automatically from Butcher Beds processing livestock.
Do I need a tech tree to use these machines?
No, the mod is designed to let you access all machines without complex progression—you can start automating farms and energy generation right away.
Can Sprinklers speed up crops that aren't in Hydroponics Beds?
Sprinklers boost crop growth speed by over two times across a nine-by-nine area, so they work on any crops in that range, not just those in beds.
How do I transport animals without a Nether portal?
Use Animal Capture Nets to pick up live animals and carry them in your inventory, then release them wherever you want to set up your livestock operation.
Can I repair enchanted tools with the Mending Station?
Yes, Mending Stations consume Liquid XP and energy to repair damaged tools and armor while preserving all their enchantments.
