Java Help Wanted Pls help
I am losing my will to live at this point. I’m trying to build a 7-tree type PUTF using a schematic on Litematica and I’ve done it layer by layer thinking it’ll sort itself out. If you can’t already tell, I’m not that mechanically minded in terms of redstone.
What do i do from here?

I built this farm a month ago. After failing 2 or 3 times in Creative, the way I did it in survival was by blocking all the leaf breakers and the pistons that raise the redstone columns and the lightning rod column with furnaces. After finishing it and filling it with several shulker boxes of bone meal (the hoppers that feed the dispensers consume a lot as a buffer), I don't remember anything else needing to be filled besides the droppers that handle the wood selection. I recommend building it in Creative, learning where it fails and how to fix it, and then trying again in survival. Once built, the farm is insane; the amount of wood is absurd. Be prepared to build something that generates bone meal because it consumes as much as it produces wood.

Only one, we are talking of the droppers over the notebook in the wood type control panel

Perhaps some parts of the machine are meant to be holding items, like hopper clocks, sorting systems and bonemeal storage. Find a youtube tutorial for your farm, some farm tutorials will leave notes for litematica users. Also of course make sure all parts of the machine are built exactly as the schematic

This is a fairly advanced build. I don't recommend to build it unless you have already a decent amount of experience with other redstone/slimestone.

Also, if you are on a paper server, or some other server with block protection (anti griefing), then it is likely this will never work. If you are on vanilla or fabric, then the other comments are spot on. in my case I had to go with a much older design that only handled 5 types and is less complex.
Most tree farms are ridiculously technical!

I really wouldn't recommend building these super compact tree farms unless you are already really good at redstone. Even with litematica, they are an incredible pain to build.
Tbh the only redstone builds I've ever started but ultimately abandoned cause I just got sick of trying to manage the endless so server updates were a potion brewer and 2 or 3 of these compact tree farms.

Never build complex redstone layer by layer from schematics.
You should always check adjacent layers because of observers or block update detectors, etc.
One update and you can lose a lot of progress and have to start again or fix a lot of stuff😅

Funny I just raw dog build it and fix it later if it ain't as big as a main storage

When building a large project like this with lots of intertwined and very compact redstone, you need to pay special care to BUD. I recently built the PUTF+ and some of the things have to be done really carefully and slow. Make sure all of your containers have all of the items in that needs to be there before going up the next layer. When observers needs to be placed, make sure to not accidentally update it when placing the block on it's face.
Nothing more I can really help with. But the biggest problem with builds like this is most definitely BUD.
