Draft:Farm (Forestry)
The farm is an automated way of farming various crops.
Size
The Farm's central structure can be built in 6 different sizes. While larger farms cost more to build, they will provide resources at a higher rate, due to the increased crop plot area.
These diagrams and figures show the maximum configurable area, the farm can operate within a smaller area as well.
The central mechanism must be 4 blocks tall regardless of size, and the inside must be completely filled with Farm blocks (not hollow).
| Multiblock Size | Farm Block Count | Total Farm Block Ingredients | Overall Extents | Farmable Area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 x 3 (x 4) | 36 | x72 (1x64 + 8)

Configuration
By default, the farm will be configured in Managed Arboretum mode on all 4 sides. If this is the configuration you want, then you don't need to do any further configuration.
If you'd like to change the configuration, you will need to use a Soldering Iron and a Circuit Board.
The type of circuit board will determine how many sides can be configured:
| Icon | Item | Configurable Sides |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Circuit Board | 1 side | |
| Enhanced Circuit Board | 2 sides | |
| Refined Circuit Board | 3 sides | |
| Intricate Circuit Board | 4 sides |
To configure the circuit board, 1 Electron Tube is required for each side. The type of tube will determine what will be farmed on each side.
| Icon | Item | Managed Farm | Manual Farm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper Electron Tube | Trees | Fruit Trees | |
| Tin Electron Tube | Peat | Peat | |
| Bronze Electron Tube | Crops | Crops | |
| Iron Electron Tube | Vegetables | Vegetables | |
| Golden Electron Tube | Cactus | ||
| Diamantine Electron Tube | Sugar Cane | ||
| Obsidian Electron Tube | Gourd | ||
| Blazing Electron Tube | Infernal | ||
| Rubberised Electron Tube | Rubber Trees | ||
| Apatine Electron Tube | Mushroom | Mushroom | |
| Lapis Electron Tube | Cocoa |
