Automation?

[RemoteFX]

What is the staff opinion of the definition for automatic farms?

I've been writing rules and I've made my own definition but I dont know if people and especially the staff agree with the definition and the rule.

The creation and use of a automatic farm* is NOT allowed. Any automatic farms that are found will be forcefully destroyed, creator and users balance reset and other possible punishments. These farms are not allowed to keep the economy of the server stable and fair for all players. *(Automatic farms are farms that do not require any manual input for the creation of a product, For example the well known cactus farm that automatically drops cactus is not allowed.)
Automatic - having the capability of starting, operating, moving, etc.,independently:

Ex:Auto cow farm, auto mob drops farm. Auto pumkin. Melon.sugar. Stone. The list goes on and on.

I know example's and I could name them for hours. But a definition would be helpful, For example would a 'automatic' tree farm where you need to place the sapling be automatic? What about a farm that needs constant refilling?
And by automatic stone what do you mean? Are andriods not allowed to mine stone for a cobble stone generator?

 

[Ciel]

Something that you can afk and will continually generate you something that you can use for income without needing to break the item or kill it and only need to take items out of the chest.

only need to take items out of the chest.

Or anything that haves an inventory slot.

Or anything that haves an inventory slot.

So something that requires refilling is allowed?

The one with minecarts and iron bars that uses your off hand? Yea thats not automatic unless you afk. If you start afking while you do it using macros thats not allowed.

A tree farm that is automatic but will need constant bonemeal to power it. Thats automatic as such but it is only automatic as long as it has alot of bone meal available to it.

 

[Ciel]

If u are applying bone meal your self and you arent going afk sure

 

[Jo3512]

If u are applying bone meal your self and you arent going afk sure

what if you put yourself in a afk machine and watch it happen

No putting bonemeal in a dispenser. The bonemean runs out making it by definition not automatic. But im wondering if thats still considered automatic by the staff.

 

[RemoteFX]

Thats afking for it still so its afk farm but not a automatic one.

So automatic farms are allowed but afk autofarms arent allowed?

just hook it up to a skelly grinder.

They drop bones not bone meal. The creation of bonemeal is manual and not automatic.

 

[Jo3512]

So you actually can not show that you are smarter then the rest of the players and build automated farm ?
Interesting..

No bumping please...

Just to make things clear:

The admins mean that if the farm can run forever WITHOUT PLAYER INTERACTION then it isn't allowed. Being able to hit a button and it harvests it for you doesn't make it against the rules.
