Pumpkins and Melons
acegdl007:
Sorry to revive an old thread but I have had a different angle on making bank. What do people think about automation as a way to improve the whole melon/pumpkin productivity? I do agree that there is a distinct advantage to pumpkins since they do not require post-harvest crafting... but melon slices are also a source of food if necessary while pumpkins are not. I've been engineering pumpkin/melon farms that (semi)automatically harvest thus saving time. Is that enough to overcome the added time spent on crafting blocks from slices?

Anything automated is fast.
Now, it depends on the size. If you need to convert 18 slices stacks to 2 blocks, then its not much.
But, when you have 2000+ roots, with at least 3 slices/root, then its 6000+ at minimum slices. 6000/64, is almost 100. 100/9=11,.. So, in order to make 11 mellon blocks, you need a lot of time.
What I jsut described, is with 3 slices/block. No 7 which is the most usual.

That reminds me about a minor annoyance that if fixed would be able to save lots of time when crafting melon blocks. Not being able to shift click slice stacks into a crafting area. >:(

if by shift click u mean to turn 9x64 melon slices in single click to stack of melon blocks.....well did u try right click on first block that appears when u put 64 slices in craftbench...it gives u 64 melon blocks with that single right mouse click.. ;D
Sorry if that's not what u mean under shift click....my english understanding is good but not perfect :-\

He means actually putting the slices into the crafting bench. The only way to do it at the moment is by sticking the 9 stacks of slices in one at a time then shift clicking the resulting melon blocks out. It doesn't take that long but it gets boring real quick.
