Description
Brings back the classic BuildCraft quarry for modern Minecraft. (part of the RetroRig mod suite bringing back BuildCraft elements)
Place a Quarry block and it gets to work, automatically constructing a frame around the dig area, then mining everything inside down to bedrock. Drops are ejected above the machine or routed into connected inventories.
Construction Torches let you define a custom dig area. Place two torches at the same Y level within 64 blocks of each other and the quarry will respect those bounds.
Powered by Forge Energy. Compatible with other tech mods.
Features:
- Automatic frame construction and interior clearing
- Custom dig area via Construction Torches
- Block break sounds and a looping ambient operating sound
- Ejects items above the machine or into adjacent inventories
- Crafting: The quarry takes iron blocks, diamonds, a diamond pickaxe, repeaters, and a copper trapdoor.
