I can't use a normal Harvester/Seeder combination with Rubber Tree Saplings as the Saplings have a drop rate that is entirely too unreliable to continue the cycle for very long. Is there a reliable self-sustaining means of harvesting Sticky Resin for use in an Industrial Centrifuge for rubber and plant matter?
I am playing with a hybrid Unhinged/Unleashed pack.
I have every mod in Unhinged installed and these mods as well from Unleashed:
- Adv Power Management
- Adv Solar Panels
- Biblio Craft Mods (all three)
- Binnies Mods
- Computer Craft
- Damage Indicators
- Equivalent Exchange 3
- Extra Utilities
- GraviSuite
- Magic Bees
- Misc Periphreals
- ObsidiPlates
- Plugins for Forestry
- Soul Shards
- ThaumCraft
I also installed:
- Logistics Pipes
- Infernal Mobs
- Adv Machines

Given access to forestry you can build a Multi-Block farm of whichever size1 suits configured with rubberised electron tubes for a manual (you plant the trees) rubber farm.
1 Remember you only need the rubber tree logs that actually produce the resin, and no gaps. With a Gravity or Portal gun you can move the useful blocks on to the farm for a high density of production. Given enough time even a quarter of a small farm led to me almost filling an extra dimensional barrel (Factorization): my the time I moved away from that world I think I had something like 900 stacks of rubber.
