If I move around the planter I see different plant genes while looking at the plant in the center.
-
I setup the planters with a conveyor set to put one seed and one bone knife in. After the normal delay I heard it start planting. When I checked several minutes later I saw I was getting no clones in my collection box. When I checked the planters they only had plants in the center plot. I could see them doing the planting/harvesting animation at what appeared to be the correct time intervals but there would be no output. I stopped the conveyor to save seeds. When the planter ran out of seeds on the next cycle it started outputting clones and continued for several cycles. I hooked up another set of planters to grow the clones and see what would happen. It appears to be doing the same thing. As with the clones if I look into the input cache to see if there are seeds/clones, when I hit escape it triggers the planting animation but only in the center and there is no output. It will be another hour or two before I see if theses ones are doing the same with the output. I just went and check the remaining ones in the cloning section. As it often happens not all planters immediately go into clone mode some can take a couple of cycles to switch, so I had a couple that hadn't. They had gone past the normal cloning stage and when I tried to harvest them I could grab a clone one after another. When I grabbed it It would be replaced with another plant at about the same stage, I could see the plant genes change for each plant. So I believe I got the correct amount of clones just delayed as it won't output till you stop feeding it seeds and it is only using the center plot.

Well, on the plus side, this quirk jumped me ahead on clones. When I finally was able to breed my clone, I put one in a box and transferred in all the bad clones I got from planting seeds. In a few second I went from 9 to over 700 clones. -
Yes, That's what I put at the end of my last message. I just tried unloading the plugin, placing a new bare planter, planting corn and waiting to gather clones. I put the clones in a storage box and all was fine, but as soon as they were transferred to another box they became copies of the existing clones so now they all have the same gene. I did it again with hemp, this time emptying the receiver box first. They became copies of the first clone, now all the same.. It seems like the update changed something, it worked fine last wipe. I guess I'll have to clone and breed manually for now. Once I have the "GGGYYY" clone it shouldn't be a problem. Just have to wait and see if the problem just goes away in an update or two as they sometimes do.

Okay, This is confusing. This seems to be a problem with the conveyors. I plant seeds and everything proceeds fine until cloning. If I turn off the conveyors and let the clone collect in the cache on the planter every thing works fine, but if I use the conveyor to move the clones to a box they all come out as copies of whatever the first clone was. I've tried harvesting the clones manually and also collecting them from the planter cache then putting them in a box and that works fine, but when moved with a conveyor they become copies of the whatever the first clone was.

I'm trying to clone hemp to get ready to breed a "GGGYYY" type clone. I see different genes in the planters but all that is getting picked appears to be copies of the first clone. So far I have 600 plus clones with the same gene. Is anyone else seeing this too?

Knitemare All of this can be done with conveyors. I've done 4 floor grow houses that run automatically. Now with cloning I added an extra conveyer to ad in one bone knife to start cloning and a second conveyer to pull it out to stop, both controlled with switches.

Cloning was the hang-up for me with the 6x6x4 (144 planters). As soon as I finished with the planting the first ones were almost at the crossbreeding stage so I didn't have long to grab clones before I'd have to wait for the crossbreeding to finish.
-
Yes, that's how I thought it worked, But what I was asking about was if it could be set to pick clones or if at harvest it could be set to also produce seeds, or if this would be something I would have to handle separately. The farm I have been running this month is a 12x12 with 4 grow floors so yes, If the server has the AutoPlant plugin it's possible. Without that plugin a 6x6x4 is about my limit. With the AutoFarm plugin I don't know what you could go to, especially with a monthly wipe.

In the config section for permissions where you put a limit on the number of planters does a '0" mean unlimited?
-
Is the plugin able to pick clones or seeds at this time?
-
is there a way when put in a vending machine it can be shown as a quarry and not a furnace? -
okay, Thanks
-
For those wanting to connect pipes to quarries, Sync Pipes can connect to quarries and pumpjacks. https://umod.org/plugins/sync-pipes You can use them as a stand-in for now.

Will this work with quarry's made with the QuarryCraft plugin?? https://umod.org/plugins/quarry-craft
