Efficiency is not a choice, it’s a requirement.
Inspired by the core mechanics of Factorio, this mod introduces a structured system for resource gathering. Move away from manual mining and establish a high-throughput industrial outpost.
1. Chunk Scanner
The chunk scanner, when you right-click, shows you what type of ore vein is in that chunk, if any, and the amount of ore you can extract with the drill.
Once you've finished extracting ore from the chunk, this amount will reach zero, rendering the chunk empty and therefore unusable. Until the next chunk!
2. Base Drill
Once you've located the ore vein you're interested in, with this drill and some coal, you'll be able to extract the minerals. But be careful: if the chunk runs out of ore, the machine won't stop! You'll have to turn it off, so always keep an eye on the Chunk Scanner!
It is fully automatable with any pipe/conduit of any mod, both in input (for coal) and in output (for extracted ore).
3. Electric Drill
Why use coal? Electricity works twice as fast, so coal could be used for something else...
The Electric Drill works with any pipe/conduit/energy cable, both for input (for energy) and output (for mined materials).
Eco-friendly!
Important: You can spam as many drills as you want in a chunk, this will speed up ore extraction, but it will only empty the chunk faster, you won't have infinite ore ;)
Thanks for playing,
