As Steve said: Bottomside.
What Flower? The Rod can only go straight upwards. Branches do absolutely nothing to it.
It's still a Bug as i forgot that. And you could also smelt it into 9 Ingots. This is just to get rid of Autocraftingtables in favour of Furnaces, Macerators and Compressors.
Ahh Derp, So if my lots at level 70 should I be going up to 128 or 256?
Also I have a forcefield system so part of the base would be covered but the 1x1 hole. Does having the rod warped around with something cause any issues at lower heights?
