 ======Spitfire Farm======
-The spitfire farm is a farming machine that converts bonemeal into wheat, far faster than even the largest farm.  User interaction is required.  Don't worry, [[ManaLocke]] supplies the bonemeal.

 =====Operation=====

+[{{:technology:spitfire_farm_front_small.png|The Spitfire Farm (before update) from the front.}}]
-Operating the farm requires some setup.  Ensure the bonemeal dispenser is stocked (if it isn't, contact [[ManaLocke]]).  Open the seed dispenser and take one seed.  Place it in the leftmost open space in your active bar.
+**Update:** The Spitfire farm has been recently updated.  This new version has been confirmed to work in version 1.8.9, and should continue to work in 1.9 (the combat update) unless they futz with crop growth again.
-Walk forward, and press up against the stone ledge.  Aim the seed at the plowed farmland.  Then right-click **and hold.**
+Ensure the bonemeal dispensers are stocked (if it isn't, contact [[ManaLocke]]).  Grab a half-dozen or so of your favorite seed. Turn on the system (there's a lever on the left-hand side).  Stand in front of the now-moving farmland, so that you'll pick up any drops.  Ready your seeds, then right-click **and hold.**  If for some reason, the farm isn't producing, release and hold again: the design is sometimes sensitive to *when* you start the hold.
-When you're ready to collect the produced wheat, throw the lever at your feet.  Always leave the farm as you found it.
-====How it Works====
-The placement of the seed in your inventory is key.  The technology exploits the fact that when you plant the seed, the selected tool spot becomes empty.
-When you place the seed, a [[http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Block_update_detector|Block Update Detector]] detects the change, and spits out a single piece of bonemeal.  This is immediately used on the planted seed, growing it instantaneously.  The update detector detects the growth, shifts and replaces the ground (so the wheat pops out), and puts another seed in your hands.  Repeat ad panem.
 =====Directions to Get There=====
+Once in Locke's Lab...
-  *from Nether: Follow the pathway out and to the right, and at first opportunity turn left twice.
+  *from [[DTA_Nether|Nether]]: Follow the pathway out and to the right, and at first opportunity turn left twice...
-  *from DTA Railway: Head straight out from the station, go to the back wall, and turn left.
+  *from [[DTA_Minecarts|DTA Railway]]: Head straight out from the station, go to the back wall, and turn left...
 Go up the stairs and follow the signs out towards the surface.  As soon as you reach the top of the ladder, go left around the stairs and turn right.  Go down the stairs there to the [[auto-farm]], and turn completely around.  The spitfire farm is beneath the most recent set of stairs.
