I truly appreciate how you take a few minutes to explain how to optimize timings instead of just saying "yeah this is the optimal delay between steps and no I will not elaborate."

I actually tried designing a large spruce based dirt farm that wasn't about max speed but rather utility. I want to try and make a farm that has full utility allowing you to choose to farm all logs, bonemeal consumption free (cycling between moss generation and dirt generation) and a few other features. You've inspired me and I think I'll give another crack at my dream farm

[@matt7399]

It's a tough challenge with all the moving pieces but very rewarding in the end once everything works properly. Took me like a whole day or two to get my own design perfect but got 9k dirt per hour + extras in the end. Best of luck to you with your design though

Watching you explain the design process behind your farms makes me almost feel like I came up with them by myself. And that within just half an hour! I neither want to spend tens or hundreds of hours trying to figure out everything on my own, nor do I want to copy someone else's design without knowing how it actually works. Your videos make this possible and I love it!

Cubicmeter, thank you for bringing me with the whole development behind your new additions! Technical minecraft can look scary, but when somebody like you explain his though process every steps of the way, it make me want to make my own farms! Can't wait to see your copper aging module.

[@ryanthescion]

Would you ever be interested in designing a grass block farm?

[@cubicmetre]

Well now that we have automated dirt blokstreams it might be possible, although I don't think grass can spread to podzol so it might need to be a separate farm.

[@vltir]

Nice to see you give dirt farms a try. I’m currently designing a 18k rooted dirt farm using buffers. Wiring this takes so much time though. xD

[@embracing_cassie1635]

I really love how you explain your train of thoughts on your designs. Not many people do it.

[@Questerer]

My take on rooted dirt option. It might still be the worse of the two ideas because it is slow. But I believe there should be a possibility to make a farm for 1 semi afk person. A moss farm can make all the azalea saplings. You put them into a system that feeds players items. The player has the saplings in their off hand and in their main hand a hoe.

[@MagyarAdam15]

Ilmango has a rooted dirt-->clay farm, which doesn't need AFK-ing, just loading the chunks, but it's very slow. Maybe ~0.5 shulker/hour. I upgraded his idea added one more Azelea unit, and made it a little faster, but it's still ~1 shulker/hour (I don't know the exact numbers, I don't use carpet).

[@markeagin9014]

@@MagyarAdam15 this is what I don't get about this farm. He made a whole point about avoiding having a player involved. But now it's just a pod farm that requires both a player to run and a player to advance to the next stage (mud).

didnt relize your omnifarm was gonna be updated to include more farms, anyways love your omnifarm design

[@paulolm1471]

That’s perfect ! Incredible ! I’ve done the omnifarm on my server, and then I’ve started to design in creative a mud and clay converter. This dirt farm is insane but personally I prefer mine some shulkers of dirt and then put the dirt manually in a mud converter where I have the choice to send in the blast chamber the mud (for mud bricks), or the clay after some afk. I also need to say that this farm is maybe too much powerful and laggy for my little server with friends buuut thanks !! 😊

[@cubicmetre]

This dirt farm was only 5.43mspt on my system, however the leaf crusher could probably be cut down a bunch as they produce excess saplings.

[@paulolm1471]

Hmm that could be interesting ! But I’m always scared about block updates and a lot of flying machines in a same place. And mining dirt for an hour is quick and easy. But I’m definitely waiting for the mud/clay converter ! Good luck to design it, and see you soon 🔜

[@dirtycorn4958]

Just got this built in my skyblock world....finally getting some much needed dirt. Thanks for this excellent farm!

[@pedrokotii2417]

Neat! Of course, the end goal would be to eliminate as much of input as possible while maximizing the output, be that player actions or items. By which I mean, wasn't there a compact infinite bonemeal no-player loop farm design that could power this with no need to carry shulkers of bm over there?

[@cubicmetre]

I figured the best way to do bonemeal supply would be caches of shulker boxes at each farm, doing a centralised bonemeal distirubution would be way too complex.

[@MoonyInspired]

Yup worth it, liked it a lot

[@MoonyInspired]

Finally something worth my time

[@Danieltron]

Hey cubic, I've created that farm in my world and I managed it to work, but I found a problem in your design To explain it better, in your world, there is a dropper in the coordinates x:15 y:61 z:7 that is not being powered, the observer that was meant to be powering it, is actually powering a waterlogged stair, and because of that, no bone meal can flow through the farm up to that point It's actually pretty easy to fix it, you just need to power it using observers coming from the second dropper behind it (at least that's the way i've used to fix it) And thank you for this farm, awesome work man!

[@alessiomuccio2795]

Dude, the thing is that the shovel ain't even required: podzol automatically turns to dirt if it stays under another block for long enough

[@andreknuttson88]

Had to replace a waterlogged stair, in the corner next to the bonemeal, beside the dropperline for bonemeal, to a solid block. the dropperline were not activated and the bonemeal in the middle and on the side of the player did not get filled up

[@combrade-t]

I was wondering how hard it would be to make a podzol-based dirt farm pretty similar to this because it seems for a lot of people the passive azalea is more popular. Love how incredible this omnifarm is becoming.

Cool farm, just finished building in a survival world just to realize that i have to destroy it and rotate it the right way to grow the spruce :D

[@mircydris]

This was amazing video!

[@MichaelPohoreski]

What are some of the changes to Minecraft do you wish for that would help make building automated tree farms easier? Remove the restrictions around the NW blocks at the sapling level? Better sapling drop rates from a single tree?

[@cubicmetre]

I think having some restrictions is perfectly reasonable as it creates a challenge, however what I dislike is counterintuitive things like the directionality of the tall spruce tree, although one benefit of this directionality is that you can prevent the saplings that recieve bonemeal from growing on their own and only allow the tall tree to grow.

[@joevdb9232]

@MichaelPohoreski i would say the restrictions on tree growth should be removed, they're opaque and convoluted. trees should just check individually whether each log/leaf can be placed (as in, if there's air/leaves/water there beforehand, which it can replace) i think tree farms would be just as interesting, they would mostly look the same. you need to keep the space for the tree as clear as possible anyway, otherwise you get fewer logs and leaves. there would be new challenges as well, like you couldn't control the growth shape of oak/mangrove at all

[@sanyeki238]

I love someone else has tried to do a podzol farm :D Here are soethings I discovered while trying to do my own, to add up to this video 1) From my research, you can make the podzol area 4 wide, instead of 3, and thats really where the maximum really peeks. Although I agree that beeing 3 wide is much more convinient for making it into a block stream (although it isnt hard to make a custom chamber for it :P) 2) there is a sweet spot, where you dont need to clean up the water, and the stuff should grow just fine, its inconsistant due to a bug, but if instead of 2 blocks below, you make it grow, at surface level, or one below, you wouldnt need to clean the leaves the stuff over the podzol, you would just need to clean up the leaves. 3) I tried to hook it up to an enderman silk touch station... and since it is defenetly too fast, you could actually make it in the end, and slice the rates into full dirt thingy to an about a 1/3 podzol 2/3 dirt (maybe an idea for the next video just saying...). there are a 100 ways to optimize this kind of farm... but tbh making a podzol farm by it self is its own win. having said that, Im really glad someone has made a better podzol farm, and hopefully someone else tries to improve upon your design too! because dirt is truly the very _basics_ of farming ;)

You're making me jelly with all that dirt.

[@M_1024]

The only problem with using podzol approach is that you can't obtain actual rooted dirt item (also that you need to afk first at dirt farm, and then to convert it into mud)

[@cubicmetre]

Yes however I would argue that dirt is probably one of the more important resources, especially for terraforming. Which means being able to produce large amounts of dirt directly from the podzol method is much better than the rooted dirt where you will be constantly limited by the durability of your hoe.

[@M_1024]

@@cubicmetre that's true

[@wChris_]

it would be cool if you could convert the copper oxidizer into an oxidizer and mud dryer multi machine, so that you wouldnt have to build that much more.

[@cubicmetre]

This is actually the plan, I intend to reverse engineer the copper oxidizer into a configuration that converts the mud to clay. Although something to keep in mind is that the copper takes much longer than the mud to clay does, as the copper goes through 3 stages where each stage is dependent on copper blocks around it. However the mud to clay needs only a single event to convert.
