anyone get the Seed planter harvester or plow to work?
I have been wworking on this but cant get them to work. Any help or pointing to a tutorial?
Just to be sure I am hand farming but want to learn how to get the new tools to work.

Hi Sabbath, the best thing to do is to try in creative mode > That's what I did.

It's very simple really, you'll see when aiming at the tools > an infos on how to use will show up.

- For the hand plow > just hit the soil with it.

- For the machanical blocks (farming blocks)> add the plow on a simple cart and aim at it to see how to use.

- You could try WolfGar's carts on the Workshop to know how he did it.

But like I said if you do some testing you will notice that it's very simple.

Here is Wolfgar's cart, you could try it to see how it works

This video update shows what we can do, well I'm sure you could build something different

I found if you build a pile of 6 timber posts on their side (3 high), then place a seeder in the air above it, then you can pop 2 catch blocks on the back of the seeder, add wheels, add a pole 6 long sticking out the front of the seeder, left and right, and a 6 long pole to join them at the front, stand in the hole and walk forward, and you'll get a quick portable seeder. put a bag of seed in the back and off you go, it'll sew seeds whenever it goes over ploughed ground.

Sadly though, you only seem to get 10 plants out of a whole bag of seed, which given it costs 5 plants to make a bag, seems a bit unbalanced. Hand planting is more laborious, but seems to generate more, so I'm going to use the auto seeder to set the plant spacing, then hand plant to get enough of the things.

Hi sibaz, yes indeed the hand bags are infinit in survival, it should be fixed soon. :fix:

Could you clarify; is when planting by hand only or both by hand and the planter?

Ivan, sorry > ''Seed bags'' not hand bags.

I did get them all 3 working. Man that seed planter sure eats up the seeds :)

I think with wheat, where it costs 2 wheat to generate a bag, then you get 10 plants per bag, is about right. However, everything else costs 5 to generate a bag. I buy 20% cost to regenerate a bag, 50% is too much.

I agrree wheat seems to be fine but the rest its better to hand plant

I cant get the seeder to even plant anything in the first place. It should work in creative stilll yea?
EDIT: apperently it just didnt like creative, works fine for me on the server i play on.
