'''Multifarm''' is a [[multiblock]] structure from Forestry used for the [[Automated Farming]] of trees, crops and flowers in [[LV]]-[[tier]] or beyond. It comes in multiple size configurations and consists of Farm Blocks, Farm Hatch(es), Farm Valve(s), Farm Gearbox(es) and Farm Control(s), with a surrounding pad of vanilla structure blocks for the farmland. To operate, it must be supplied with power, water and Fertilizer, consumption rates varying with [[biome]] and type of produce.

==How to Build==
== Construction ==
The core multiblock is a rectangular cuboid with a footprint of 3x3, 3x4, 4x4, 3x5 or 5x5 blocks, always four blocks tall. The entire multiblock is solid and must be made from Farm Block/Gearbox/Valve/Hatch/Control. There are Brick, Quartz, Stone, Sandstone and Netherbrick variations of each Farm block, their only difference is cosmetic and they can be freely mixed. Any block that does not have a surface face (completely enclosed inside) must be a Farm Block. The second layer from the top also cannot be anything but Farm Blocks; this will update to wide grey/black banding when the multiblock successfully forms. If the multiblock is not forming, right click any farm block to get an error message about what blocks are incorrectly placed. Other blocks can be any Farm (type); the multi is not limited to single copies of gearbox, valve, hatch or control and multiples will all be functional.
