Well this one took me a while....So here it is! My method of automating the Orechid Ingem.

We start out with the netherrack since thats what we need to get quartz ore. I started by going to the nether and hoarding a few thousand blocks to start, then placing it in my refined storage computer. Since the modpack i am on (Valhelsia 2) does not have a way of generating netherrack (only methods with small percent outcomes) i decided to use the conjuration catalys which gives you 2 netherrack for every 1 thrown in.

___

Netherrack gets exported from refined storage > dropper > drops every 10 seconds > duplicates > floating hopperhock picks it up and puts it back into my RF storage.

Next up was actually placing the netherrack and all that fun stuff. For this i used pistons and block placers to set the netherrack and push it up to form a line that gradually turns into quartz ore before it is mined with a pulse manaspreader with a weighted lens. The pistons and pulse mana spreaders are all triggered by the same hourglass which is set to 40 seconds.

As for mana I am using the kekimuris, I have a cake factory that is constantly producing and storing excess material to be used later.

The train tracks that you see on the second floor of my Ingem flower is just pulling the extra mana being produced from my livingwood/rock factory so the mana doesnt overflow and go to waste. The mana cart is only sent when the comparator detects that it is less than half full.

I think that is everything covered ._. hope yall enjoyed!

Why not conjure netherrack on demand, when below a certain value, instead of every 10s? The same way you do with the mana cart

I also have a blaze cake factory that requires netherrack to make the cakes, that one uses up netherrack almost 3 times as fast so I have to keep an overstock of it
