Rainbow Tree Farm Program [RTC]

Hi,
Here is my Rainbow Tree Chopper/Farm, a simple program to chop down a rainbow tree and/or farm it.
This tree is from an mod called Dye Trees, which is included in feed the beast latest modpacks.
This can be really useful as an gold generator in FTB.


How to Plant Rainbow Tree:

• Place 4 (2x2) Rainbow Tree Sapling on dirt (in an clear area)
• Let it grow naturally or use one, just one bone meal.

Note: The tree only grows during daylight, and it has an underground root.


How to chop down a tree:

• Place the turtle on the left side of the tree (yes the tree does not have "left side"), as suggested in the image…
• Run the program
• Hit "1" followed by Enter
• Wait….
• Collect the hundreds of dropped items :)/>

How to Use the automated farm:

• Create an item collector (exemple in the image bellow);
• Plant the tree;
• Place the turtle in the same spot as the simple chopper;
• Run the program and type 2 then Enter;
• Make sure to place saplings in the lot 15 (min 4) and dirt in the 16th slot (min1);
• Hit enter again

Detailed Image Here

The turtle will:

• Collect the tree;
• (Wait 10 sec to allow items to flow)
• Replant it;
• Drop the wood in the chest;
• Wait for it to grow.

And it will repeat this process until it does dot have sufficient resources.

Example of an item collector and filter:


What Are the drops?

1. Hundreds of tree dyes;
2. Tons minecraft vanilla dyes;
3. Lots of apples, Cocoa Beans, Bone meal and Lapis Lazuli;
4. Some golden apples;
5. One or two God Apple aka Notch Apple;

How to get gold from the tree?
In FTB there is an mod called twilight forest, it adds an item called Uncrafting table, as the name suggests you can uncraft items, so by uncrafting an God apple you get 8 Gold blocks (72 Gold Ingots)!
Note you need 9 levels of experience to uncraft it.

How to download Install and run it:

• Make sure that your turtle is labelled;
• do:

  
  pastebin get QBHnGps7 rtc
  

• To run the program type rtc.

Note: In order to download the program directly to your turtle you need to have that feature enabled.
Alternatively you can place the file in your save (search the forum for more info).


What can be/ will be improved:

• ​Separated chests, so the turtle can run forever, by refiling the saplings automatically;
• Add an option to auto refuel with the collected wood, and drop only the remaining;
• Manage an way to use bone meal in the saplings (the tree is a source of bonemeal too), but the problem is that to place bonemeal you need to be standing in a distance of 1/2 blocks;
• Suggestions?

I hope this can be useful for someone :P/>
