Livestock farms, generators, and other automation

[meta4thought]

Has anyone figured out how these work? So far the only "automation" from a tool I've crafted that works as expected is the sprinkler, which was a huge improvement to buckets and wells.

Im also looking for a way to use this because i can't tell if its bug or im just missing something.

For now all i figured out is how the generator work, you need to capture a pet with the prism and drop it in it

Yes, but they end up dying before you make it to 5 batteries :(

the automated refinery and assembler work great I had them feeding into an automated storage chest. the autominer is nice, I have not tried the tree cutter yet.

really hope theres a way to easy mode the Generators because having to capture animals is a pain in the neck with the janky combat... and for simply 4 batteries.... honestly wish they'd let you run on the wheel for "starters" then automate it at a later date with some oddities...

I prefer it consumes mines to generate butteries and use butteries for higher level machines

The tests have been with livestock 21-24, monsters 21-24, and buffalo/oxen 21-22

animals, like live stock only get 4 batteries.
monster, ditto as above.
the oxen got me 9 batteries (its a pain to capture since after every hit and runs away and runs back and runs you over. Every hit on the way back will restart its re runs, {counter})

Bears also get 9 batteries.

You can create an infinite loop to create animals using the breeding facility. Have the output drop onto a conveyor which goes around a spiral to drop back onto the breeding facility.

You'll get an endless supply of animals. If you can work out a way to put a generator in the loop, technically you could get endless batteries.

Haven't managed to figure out a solid way to do this yet. Have got a few runs of batteries, but eventually the animals clog up and the system breaks

SS my dude?

Wooden drones used to fetch wood broke 2patches ago. Once its back you could automate any wood product quite easily. then set a conveyor below the drone to take it to your item chain.

Item Automation:-
Automine>conveyor>autosmelt>conveyor>Autocraft>conveyor>autostorage. Any combination is possible since all the items require only 2 things to craft.

Farm automation:-
Farm's 3x3 grid can autowater (sprinkler)them and harvest them with spinny blade bot (get stuck heaps or caught on a conveyor) but currently no way to pick up the grain, same for the standard field except you also have to replant with seeds each time.

I had the same issues with farming mobs cows/anything at some point they overflow and the repeat chain breaks :(

The breeder is also a weird shape so setting them up nicely using floor boards sucks in the end always looks weird.

Cooking Automation:-
Sort of here with breeder automation>conveyors>huge pot but thats about it.
Currently no way to automate cooking unless you can select cooking items in the autocrafter.

You got me so excited until i saw that! I cant figure it out either. A straight drop... an angled drop... Not sure if i could stagger the incline with a generator on another incline.... can we do that? a generator on an incline.... Its that angle that makes things not fit well.

I know this is an old thread but wanted to pass on that I have gotten it to successfully (Mostly) work with sheep, conveyors drop the sheep into the breeder, the output drops them into a generator at the bottom of a 45 slope, conveyors around the generator pick up extra sheep and push them back to the breeder.

Sometimes the breeder gets too full and stops breeding, usually just have to wait to the sheep to "Jiggle" around and it restarts after a bit, still end up with too many sheep and too much meat and wool but at least get batteries from it (4 per sheep)
