I have an automatic chicken farm on a server, and it works. I know for a fact it does, as ive seen it. However, it hasnt been producing food.
The way it works - Chickens were placed in a small, 1 by 2 hole, and they lay eggs. The eggs are sucked through a hopper, put in a dispenser, and fired against a wall. IF the eggs hatch, which is unlikely, a baby chicken will eventually grow into a big chicken. The big chicken will burn to death, and the raw chicken will fall into a hopper. (Or it'll cook). The hopper sends it to a furnace, filled with coal, cooked, and then sucked through ANOTHER hopper, and into a chest, which i collect it, and eat it.
Now, i only had 2 or 3 chickens in the top part. Thus, egg production was low, so it was more unlikely to get baby chickens in the burning area.
I got about 4 stacks of eggs, and hatched them into the top area, where the chickens lay more eggs (to turn into burned chickens below), and got about 9 or so baby chickens. This was good, egg income would increase.
WELL, i heard some chickens dying so i went to check it out. I dont remember hearing the burning sound, however. I checked the top part, after finding no chicken in the chest or furnace, and found only 2 big chicken in the area. Im quite confused now.
Any ideas?
