The Farming Collector is a battery-powered hopper block that automatically harvests ripe crops around it. Harvested crops are stored like in a hopper and replanted at their starting stage.
Getting it#
Buy it in /shop under Miscellaneous for $30,000,000. It includes a 30-minute battery (Batteries).
How it works#
- It watches a 15-block range around itself and harvests crops that are fully grown. Each cycle (every second) it checks a limited number of blocks, so very large farms are covered over several cycles.
- Wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots and other age-based crops are harvested and reset to their first stage; melons and pumpkins are harvested from the fruit; sweet berry bushes drop to their first stage.
- The drops go into the collector's storage. If the storage is full the collector pauses instead of voiding the crops.
- It needs battery. A depleted battery stops harvesting.
- The Island Booster Beacon speeds it up: x1.1, x1.2 or x1.35 (Island Booster Beacon).
- It does not give Crops Mastery experience.
