====== "Icabod's Despair" Pumpkin Farm ======

[{{ :technology:icabods_dispair.gif?direct&300|Autoharvest of a pumpkin.}}]  After ManaLocke's success of the [[sugar_crush|sugarcane autofarm]] and the [[chicken_autofarm|chicken autofarm]]--the latter of which he swears he'll write up someday--the next choice for an autofarm was simply logical: Pumpkins.  This has become especially useful since the genetic strain for pre-carved pumpkins was stolen by the Endermen, along with many copies of an important baking recipe.  As a result, any strategic pumpkin reserves have become a unstable investment.

**tl;dr:**  The Pumpkin Farm constantly creates (un-carved) pumpkins while someone is nearby.  Idle at the [[iron_farm|iron farm]]; collect your pumpkins when you return.  Sugarcane and eggs are also being generated nearby; consider making pumpkin pie.

===== Core Technology ===== 

The farm relies on a solid-state detectors monitoring for pumpkin growth.  The grown pumpkins are sheared-off at the stem as soon as they are ripe, and swiftly collected.  The design is tileable, and may be scaled as large as necessary.
