 ======Spitfire Farm======
 The spitfire farm is a farming machine in [[Locke's Lab]] that converts bonemeal into wheat, far faster than even the largest farm.  User interaction is required.  Don't worry, [[ManaLocke]] supplies the bonemeal.
-[[ManaLocke]] got the idea from discussions online, but designed and implemented the concept himself.

 =====Operation=====
 [{{:technology:spitfire_farm_front_small.png|The Spitfire Farm (before update) from the front.}}]
-**Update:** The Spitfire farm has been recently updated.  The new version will work until the Redstone Update comes out.
+**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.
-Ensure the bonemeal dispenser is stocked (if it isn't, contact [[ManaLocke]]).  Ensure you have neither seed nor bonemeal in your inventory.  Clear one active slot.  Then, press the "prime" button in the upper-left of the machine--in the process, this should give you one seed.
+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.
-Stand on the Jack-o-Lantern before the pit.  Aim the seed at the plowed farmland in the bottom of the pit.  Then right-click **and hold.**
-When you're ready to collect the wheat, climb the provided ladder down into the pit.  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.
