[Warning: Not multi-player server compatible.] Vertical farm powered by a hoik engine, produces Truffle Worms at about 340 per hour (~6 per minute). Full video tutorial on it's form and function, including information on spawn ranges, rates and conditions. Explains the relatively simple wiring and how to use it AFK.
