Usage

Harvesting

The Mechanical Harvester will harvest all mature crops it comes in contact with while moving forward. It will then either deposit the items to an inventory on the Contraption, or, if no inventories are available, it will drop the items on to the ground.

Unlike most components, the Mechanical Harvester cannot be powered while stationary. This is likely due to the fact that in order for the Harvester to work, it must be within the same block as the mature crop to harvest, which could not happen with a stationary component.

In-Game Description

"A mechanical plant cutter suitable for medium scale crop automation. It is movable with Mechanical Pistons, Bearings or other controllers.

While Moving

Harvests all mature crops the blade collides and resets them to their initial growth state.
