Minecraft – a suitable replacement for the mixer

minecraft-java-editionminecraft-tekkit

The mixer is hard to automate. I tried replacing it with a LiquiCrafter, but that does not seem to generate sludge (only 1 output slot). What are my alternatives?

Best Answer

I would look at the sludge produced by MineFactory Reloaded machines, my personal experience is with a typical planter/fertiliser/harvester setup with a sludge boiler attached to the harvester; this was mostly automated apart from my power supply and balancing the production of industrial fertiliser to increase the rate of harvesting, or in your case of sludge production.
From the FTB Wiki:

The Sludge Boiler will consume 1000mB of sludge to randomly produce one of the following items.

  • Dirt
  • Sand
  • 4 Clay
  • Soul Sand
  • Mycelium
