How to Automate Mining and Farming with Bound Spirits in Occultism
Assign a Foliot to farming
Craft Book of Calling: Foliot Farmer from a bound Foliot book. Place it on a farm plot; the Foliot harvests and replants crops in the area. For tree work, use Book of Calling: Foliot Lumberjack to fell trees. For item movement, use Book of Calling: Foliot Transporter to carry items between containers. For cleanup, use Book of Calling: Foliot Janitor.
Assign a Djinni to machines
Craft Book of Calling: Djinni Machine Operator from a bound Djinni book. Place it next to a machine to have the Djinni operate it automatically. This is the standard way to keep processing running without manual input.
Set up dimensional mining
Build a Dimensional Mineshaft and place a Dimensional Extractor nearby. Use Deep Ore Miner Afrit or Eldritch Ancient Miner to mine from the shaft. The Dimensional Battlefield works the same way for combat drops. Dimensional Crystal Matrix supports crystal-related extraction.
Feed and maintain
Spirits need Demon's Dream Essence or Golden Dragon's Dream Fruit to keep working. Craft Familiar Ring, Familiar Glove, or Familiar Tablet to keep a familiar with you. Use Fragile Soul Gem to store souls, and Iesnium Anvil for repairing gear. Keep Celestial Chalice or Eldritch Chalice nearby for ritual support.
