Why is it that this works.... and none of the forestry modified plants work?! Please fix this because this is really stoping me from making a giant cool factory thing
I doesn't work because originally, the apple oak sappling isn't existing.. I mean that the ID of the item doesn't match other sappling's ID, then any tree other than vanilla will act as so. You must use the sappling of one of the four already existing trees!
Well, I dunno why you would want to make plantballs out of saplings, but Forestry uses non-regular sapling ids that are not in the Forge Ore Dictionary. (Maybe bug BOTH Sengir and the IC2 Team) If you are trying to do what I think you are trying to do which is use the sapling to make energy, why not just go biomass and ferment the saplings directly because that is a much more efficient way to do it.
thats what i am doing but i need a way to make dirt... i guess i could just add a wheat farm slot and use that to make plant balls
I dunno why you are even trying to use multiblock farms. As of now, those are notoriously laggy and fairly buggy and is one of the reason the server TPS tanks from time to time... It's better to just use the old tree farm (which gives you proper saplings) and old wheat farm because they are so much more reliable and they don't just EAT fertilizer. EDIT: I'll just addon that I use a centrifuge with the resin I get from my rubber trees to get plantballs. You can also get plantballs from centrifuging rubber wood.
