I'm not sure, but I think you are only allowed a certain amount of pistons on a circuit, however if I'm wrong I would like to help  :D

Repeaters are a lifesaver :)


Oh and just curious which melon formation r u going to use? Could you post a plan of the basic design on the farm?  What I typically use is this: (I'll post an ingame shot if you'd like)

D= Dirt
S=Watermelon Sapling/Sprout
W=Water (can be covered with any kind of block)
X=Sugar Cane/Wheat

   1  2 3 4  5 6 7 8 9

1  D S D D S D D S D
2  D S D D S D D S D
3  D S D D S D D S D
4  D S D D S D D S D
5  D S D X W X D S D
6  D S D D S D D S D
7  D S D D S D D S D
8  D S D D S D D S D
9  D S D D S D D S D

The Dirt will obvious be where the melons will grow so while there's more dirt than saplings (namely the sides) melons tend to grow faster on this setup so it'd ideal for frequent harvesting (which I do ALOT :))  It can be converted into a full fledged auto farm but at the cost of I think 8 blocks of height?  I've gotten a slightly different circuit design with around the same amount of efficiency for 4 blocks of height.

I realize I worded that badly  :P. What I meant is that pistons lag the server so Opticraft has a limit on the amount of pistons on a circuit with repeaters  ;), but I might be wrong  :D

NateN:
Simple solution, multiple smaller circuits staggered to prevent lag and raise efficiency. Ill have a plan up soon

DJAlphaWolf:
If you do figure out the plan for the melon farm, I'd be happy to invest, work and excavate whenever I'm free. When I'm not fulfilling my trusted duties, I either work on my "Museum of Different Ores" or just sit in my house, so I'd be glad to lend a hand ;D.
