QuarryPlus (v0.5.0)
Automate mining without losing control.

quarryplus-config.json.

UI Highlights
- Fuel slot + burn bar with tooltip details
- Energy buffer bar + numeric value
- Scan Progress bar + tooltip telemetry
- Power state indicator (
IDLE / RUNNING)
- Shape + size controls
- Tier 4 square custom dimensions (
Width and Length fields)
- Tunnel range selector
- Preview toggle and Ores Only toggle

Notes
- Scan progress tracking is currently Square-focused in the tooltip logic.
- Tier 4 custom square dimensions are clamped by config to safe limits (default max: 300 x 300).
- Tunnel distance options are currently 20 and 100.
Ores Only is stored per quarry and persists across break/place.- Default tier speed caps and fuel values can be edited in
quarryplus-config.json.
- Fuel
Max Output / sec must still be high enough to sustain the mining speed you configure.
Quick Start
- Craft QuarryPlus at a Tier 2 Workbench.
- Place the block facing the direction you want to mine.
- Add fuel.
- Choose shape/size (and custom width/length at Tier 4 Square mode).
- Optional: enable Preview and Ores Only.
- Turn power on and monitor progress from the UI.
