Drillworks - A Simple Quarry

A modern mega drill quarry: coal-fired or electric (FE), digs down to bedrock, builds its own steel frame, gantry crane with spinning drill head, laser landmarks, 5 upgrades and direct output into adjacent inventories.

Drillworks - A Simple Quarry

Drillworks adds a realistic, modern mega drill to NeoForge 1.21.1. Mark an area with laser landmarks,
place the quarry, give it fuel or power, and it digs the whole area straight down to bedrock while
a gantry crane carries the spinning drill head across the pit.

FEATURES
• Two machines: Coal Quarry (burns solid fuel) and Electric Quarry (Forge Energy, works with every FE cable)
• Automatic steel frame with hazard stripes that marks the dig area
• Laser landmarks: place them at the corners, the quarry reads the area from them
• Animated gantry crane with spinning drill head
• Five upgrades: Speed, Efficiency, Fortune, Silk Touch and Trash Filter (throws away cobblestone, dirt and gravel)
• Output goes directly into any inventory next to the quarry (chests, pipes, Mekanism, AE2, Create ...)
• Skips hoppers that feed into the quarry, so your fuel hopper never fills with stone
• Server config: quarrymod-server.toml (energy use, speed, max area)

HOW TO USE
1. Place laser landmarks at the corners of the area (they connect automatically).
2. Place the quarry next to a landmark. The steel frame builds itself.
3. Add coal (Coal Quarry) or connect FE power (Electric Quarry).
4. Put a chest, hopper or pipe next to the quarry to collect the blocks.
5. Optional: put upgrade cards into the quarry's upgrade slots.

REQUIREMENTS
• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.x (built with 21.1.252)
• Java 21

This is the first public release (beta)
please report problems on the project page.
