Planter is a world interacting block. It allows for automated planting of certain blocks such as seeds and saplings. It requires rotational energy connected to the top of the planter in order to function. The planter will search for blocks applicable for the blocks in its inventory, such as dirt or farmland, within a 5x5 square centered on the planter, and will place blocks on the same level, or up to 1 block below the planter. The planter is able to place blocks on relevant blocks through blocks, even without line of sight. The block itself has nine inventory spaces, but only items that can be used by the planter are able to be placed inside it.

File:PolyFactory-Crop Farm unoptimized pt 3.png|Top view of the crop farm. It is mostly automatic, operated by using the Lever on the bottom left for only a few seconds, which washes crops down to the hoppers to be collected, sends some fuel in for the Planter to replant seeds, and lets seeds go back into the Planter from the conveyor belts. In this rudimentary build, some fuel might get wasted as it finishes, but this is for starter and example purposes.
