Hi guys,

I am trying to setup automated rubber harvesting for the huge redpower rubber trees :)  I am running into two issues:

(1) Sapling Placement:

The RP rubber tree appears to require a 3x3x1 dirt platform to grow; the sapling placed in the centre dirt block. Unfortuantely the planter seems to pick a random dirt block to place the sapling(s) on; but if it's not the centre one, the tree won't grow.

(2) Harvester Range:

The harvester harvests a great deal of the main trunk of the tree, and some of the foliage, but falls short of cutting down the bulk of  the upper foliage, leaving a rectangle clear area where the tree starts to get bushy. Even with an Emerald range upgrade it fails to harvest the entire tree.

Any tips/ideas?

Thanks!
