The tree fluid extractor is pretty full on latex and i have a fluid cable hooked up from the Tree Fluid Extractor (left) to the Latex Prossesing unit (right) but nothing is seeming to enter the cable despite there being plenty of latex i the tree fluid extractor. Can anyone help me out here.

So I have a couple hopping bonsai thingys hooked up to wooden crates. Recently ive noticed that most of them are almost completely full (64 stacks or 4.1k items) so i decided "Lemme look if there is any crates that can store more items. I go to the advancements and it tells me "Craft a--metal crate. This block increases your capacity over wooden crates." I took this to mean that a metal crate stores more than a wooden crate. Dead wrong. Both store 4.1k items. The way you store more items in a crate is with uprgades. I took this to mean " ohhhh so the metal crates can take upgrades and not the wooden ones." also dead wrong. The only reason ive seen to get metal crates is that they dont burn which in 99.9% of situations is completely useless.

Is there ANY reason to go through all the trouble of making all of those iron plates and moving all of those items in and out of the crates or did i just waste so much time.

I am thinking about trying skyfactory for the first time, but I dont know where to start.
What would you recomend and why?

I want it to be special tho so we would have to come up with sum rules to make it more fun

I just discovered skyfactory 4 a couple of days ago. I followed a sapling guide to get most of the saplings except like 3. What do i do now? is there a clear progression? or is there multiple things i can do to progress

Hey guys, I'm looking for people to play SF4, add me on discord: mrnacs

I've just reached what I think is the end game for Sky factory. I've been using simple storage from the beginning, as well as filing cabinets for all the bonsais, and recently "upgraded" to 64k Storage cells. But I feel like its not worth the effort and prefer to just have the simple storage system and add loads more chests. I know about Black hole units and the Controller v2's, but the controllers seem really annoying to get, especially with the pink slime. Are there any alternatives, or are the cells and blackhole units the best ones?

Looking for someone to 100% sf4 with

the color is completely different from the materials i see when i search it. on a previous cycle it wanted a tritanium tool forge which i figured out with an educated guess, the color was way off

Kinda new to sky factory so please bear with me...
I've looked at many guides to build the farm, they all use wither proof glass or reinforced obsidian, but when pumping energy or items into the wither builder, the wither explosion just breaks it. I've tested this in a creative world, with a XP pylon and item collector and mob crusher. (Some items dont get picked up by the crusher).

Ik I can use this to manually kill withers but I really want a way to automate it.

Edit: I finally found something that works, and thank you to everyone who commented helping me, hopefully if anyone else has trouble making this, this might help em out. 2nd Img is the design I settled with.
Pylon for xp, item collector for drops, made the chests really far down and the item ducts long, to slow the amount of withers spawning, so the explosions wouldnt break the farm. Placed the crusher with a range addon far back as well for the same reason, as well as completing the cube without leaving the edges: Helped tremendously with the explosion.

I thought this was just an issue with my laptop when I was playing on it before. And it partially was, low frames and other things like that. But on my pretty decent desktop PC, sometimes it gets extremely buggy and weird, so I have to restart the game and it goes back to normal. For example, I put a hopping bonsai on an extraction cable and when I put mulch in it it took the mulch out of my inventory but it visually wasn't there and it wouldn't accept saplings. But it would give the mulch back when I break it.

And the matter overdrive mod is apparently not complete, the shield in the android upgrades make you blind
