>The Multi Farming Autonomous Script V2

The overhauled and enhanced version of the MFAS V1 is out, with optimizations, bug fixes and new features:

New user-friendly HUD
Added Multi Floor mode
Added support for sugar canes
Added support for unlimited fuel mode
Added support for lava buckets as fuel item
Added a menu for the information of the last harverst
Now the turtle will go to the chests if it´s full or with low fuel
Fixed the wheat bug
Changed the message showed on the screen

The turtle is randomly skipping blocks when it replants. My farm area is 11 X 12 and the turtle will pick up every crop inside the area, but it skips replanting on one and sometimes two blocks here and there, and not always the same blocks.

On problem…. does not return home when inventory is full…. will dump the extras.
Testing it with Magic Crops, seems to work very well.

Yes, the turtle randomly wont put some blocks, is an internal error that i cant explain

The turtle wont return home anyway, so you have to put less crops to prevent that, but i will repair it (in V2)

could you maybe set it to place seeds if it detects nothing rather than skipping over the empty blocks? At least that way it will fix its mistakes somewhat. Otherwise overtime the amount of planted wheat gets smaller and smaller since it doesn't pay attention to empty blocks, and it is also skipping planting on some.

The reason why the turtle not put the item is because the wheat can drop 0 seeds (The turtle wont plant nothing) This will be fixed in V2. And yes, the turtle will skip the empty blocks, for example water or lava, but this is not a bug

Thanks for report that bug

on the server i have been going on the server keeps restarting and then asking me to type a number however i cant type that number when i'm offline so i was wondering if you could make a version which harvests hourly instead of asking how many hours please

I´m working on V2, that won´t delete the data on every start, so you haven´t to do that, only the 1º time.
Thanks for report that

you could even ask the time to harvest as an [arg] to start the program that way you could have the shell.run("farm",2) as the start up for the turtle.

i cant get the turtles to harvest every 42 minutes. i download the program, run it, type in ".7" when it prompts for interval between harvests. they run once and thats it. i have no idea what im doing wrong

edit: i think the issue was that i didnt name the turtle. oddly enough, even though i didnt name the turtle, when the program stopped i could still manually control via redstone signals, but they wouldnt farm on an internval and i couldnt interact with them outside of redstone signal

is there a way to stop them midfarm?

.7 is not a decimal number so type 0.7 :)/>

There isn´t a way to stop them midfarm ¿Why you want to do this?

I think we need a bit more instructions and also I am having a bug.

Build the farm system as discribed AND plant your first crop.

The bug I am having, the turtle goes down the first row and back up the second row, and then right thru the item chest and on thru space.

nlancaster, I´ve tested the MFAS right now, 6th of October, with the farm of the picture and all is right. And, where do you need more instructions? For the program or for the build?

Ok instructions and lets address the bug I am seeing also:

1. your directions state to build it "any size" 2 blocks high. I did this, but my farm is about 35x10 in size.
2. your directions say nothing about planting the first crop.
3. when I run the program following the directions built in he just blows right thru the chest and wall after making the first turn. ie, he makes the first turn at one end. Then at the second turn for the 3rd row he goes thru.

So something is bugged somewhere. I will try building one exactly like you show.

Your build is normal or with minimal blocks?

And I think that the MFAS is not bugged, because noone had this issue

Could you post a fast-forward video of an uninterupted farming turtle with the program that harvests and replants a huge 3-layer farm 4 times in a row?

It keeps giving out the error when it's done doing 1 cycle.


startup:43: Slot number 17 out of range

EDIT: It was actually because inventory was full. It kept seperating 3 sugar canes into 3 different slots. Also I would like to suggest to use turtle.suckDown because three high sugar canes are basically useless if the top one just falls off. But yeah it would be great if you were to empty the turtle inventory before going to next layer.

EDIT2: Or maybe it's not… it just happened again.

i fudged it by adding slot = 0 after line 40 :-


h.close()
ls = {}
slot = 0
repeat
	    slot = (slot + 1)
			    ls[slot] = turtle.getItemCount(slot)
until slot == 16
function save()

seems to be reading slot = 16 from the VALUES file, so the repeat loop tries to select slot 17 on the first pass. Not sure what to slot value is used for on first load?

Thanks

Nice script, would it be possible that when the turtle picks up half slabs , that it puts em back correctly?
I have the water holes covered with half slabs, and now it picks em up, and puts em back down in wrong position.
Well even better would be if it wouldn't pick em up at all I guess. Maybe some blacklist or something, for stuff it shouldn't pick up.

Turtle will not pick up seeds - if I put them in its inventory it just drops them back in the item chest and then runs…..cant figure out how to fix

You plant the seeds first, it will only harvest the ones you planted, and plant em again (if possible)

Request:

IF it is easy to accomplish:

In the menu, is there a way to do a check until next run?
Or to simply display the time to next run in some way.

Please consider this as a … It would be nice to have request.

Hi! I saw your post and figured it would be easy so I implemented it for you :)/>

Here is the script with changes to make it display time to next run. http://pastebin.com/x01V3drP

You need to make sure to keep 1 block of the wall type you made in slot 16. I about gave up on this farm but it is working amazingly.

FTFY.

Now on github at https://github.com/jgilmore/MFAS

Also pastebin
pastebin get KqR95e8A MFAS
MAKE SURE TO LABEL YOUR TURTLE. Really, saves a ton of time: label set "MFAS"
Almost a complete rewrite,
Partial list of new features:
Goes around fluids (waterfall in multi-level farm)
Chests are also considered walls
Replants even if it didn't harvest (configurable)
No longer prompts for fuel chest location if turtle fuel is unlimited
No longer harvests the base of the reeds
Mod specific crop harvesting is now easier to add later
No longer digs up base minecraft non-crop items (half slabs over your water source, anyone?)
Command line options are now supported (menu,reset,RESET)
Now creates a "startup" file so is automatically restarted when you replace it, or reload the world.
Maybe more, I forget.

Known bugs:
Doesn't handle wide water columns gracefully. At all.
Doesn't handle magical crops (probably, untested)
Doesn't handle other mods unless specifically told to (but easy to add them)
Doesn't automatically generate a label for your turtle if you didn't already label it. (It probably should)
Requires dirt or farmland at the edge for multi-floor farms (zivico farmland etc not supported, yet)

Probably many more bugs to.
