Does the autonomous-activator work on the grindstone?
I'm currently not in the position to test this but i was wondering if this is possible? I know for a fact that the creator of the mod in which the grindstone is (applied-energistics) in didn't want to make the player able to automate the grindstone but since the autonomous-activator simulates the players clicks I thought it might be a viable option.
Best Answer
Yes and no. In 1.6 and previous versions, this was possible. However, from Minecraft 1.7 onwards, this will not work and the crank will drop instead.(Source: here) This is because the Autonomous Activator is a Fake Player and the code checks if it is a fake player. However, there are other options. They are:
Macerator from Industrial Craft
Pulverizer from Thermal Expansion

How do you use autonomous activator?
Anything can be placed in the nine available slots, allowing the player to place, break, or attack anything in the block directly in front of the Autonomous Activator.Can the autonomous activator place blocks?
In order to use it, a Wooden Crank must be put on top of the Grindstone. Then crank must be rotated by 'Right-clicking'. It takes 8 crank turns to process one piece of ore into dust....Quartz GrindstoneSource ModApplied Energistics 2ID Nameappliedenergistics2:tile.BlockGrinderTypeBlockStackableYes (64)11 more rows•May 5, 2017Minecraft Tutorial: Autonomous Activator (with an example - sieve) [ENG]
