[https://github.com/DylanTaylor1/ic2-crop-automation These Open Computers (OC) scripts] will automatically tier-up, stat-up, and spread (duplicate) crops for you. Open Computers is a very powerful yet complicated mod using custom scripts

==Building the Farms==
First off, it is recommended to set everything up in a Jungle or Swamp biome at Y=130 as that will give you the highest humidity and air quality stats. This is most easily done in a personal dimension which you earn as a quest reward from reaching the moon. Do not place any solid blocks above the farm as that will reduce the air quality. All of the machines on the surface are waterproof so do not worry about the rain. Use vanilla dirt because that will allow you to grow crops that require a particular block underneath, and boost the nutrient stat of your crops. The whole farm
'''You may change both the size of the working farm and the size of the storage farm''' in the config (default is 6x6 and 9x9, respectively). Larger working farm sizes will extend left and up while larger storage farm sizes will extend down and to the right (see image below). The top row of the working farm will always align with the top row of the storage farm. There is no maximum or minimum size for either farm and it does not matter if the lengths are even or odd. Note that larger storage farm sizes will leave your working farm more susceptible to weeds because the robot will have to travel further when transporting crops which means less time spent scanning the working farm.

First note the orientation of the robot sitting atop the OC charger. It must face up towards the right-most column of the working farm. If the crop stick chest is ever empty, the robot will run into errors and the script will crash. In the image, I have a trash can on the other side of the crop stick chest because I do not want any drops beyond the target crop, but this can be a second chest if you do want random drops. The blank farmland is for the transvector dislocator which should be facing it. You can tell which direction the transvector dislocator is facing by the side that is animated. The last spot is for a crop-matron which is optional and one y-level lower than the rest of the blocks. It is just to hydrate most of the crops to help them grow a little faster. <br>
'''The location of the water
'''The starting crops MUST be placed manually in the checkerboard pattern''' seen in the photo. This layout goes for all three programs. If you cannot fill the entire checkerboard to start, the ''absolute'' ''minimum required is two'' (one as the target crop and the other next to it for crossbreeding). It is not necessary to place empty crop sticks to fill the rest of the checkerboard. The target crop is used by autoStat and autoSpread to identify the crop you want to stat-up or spread to the storage farm, respectively. <br>

''autoSpread''
Fire and Forget. If you have brand new crops (ie. 1/1/1 spruce saplings) and want to automatically stat-up and start spreading. keepMutations in the config should be set to false (default), otherwise the storage farm will be overwritten once autoSpread begins. To run, simply enter:
''autoStat && autoSpread''
