crystal capacitors don't last long, even with crystal clusters also stuck on the arcane tunnel bore.
make sure to use repair and charging on the wand and pick used in the bore as well or they wear out fast.
problem is the flux nastiness not only around it, but where it is to boot.
this may be fine for a mining only age, but for an omnidirectional platform with detachable side accessories that also lays tunnels, flux removal gets to be a big issue.
as i asked after in my last, i'm still looking for a way to get pure bee apiaries working on a tunnel bore.
it's proving to be kind of a necessity.
also note sometimes the clients gc will go derpy rapidly cycling ~10% of mem use when the bore is active and the frameship trying to move.
this is usually a result of a stuck spot on the frameship, or the bore facing something it can't break(usually pointing down from a ship and seeing bedrock directly somehow.)
i have four of them below ground laying cardinal point tunnels from spawn out to around 4000 from 0,0 so far, and more still above laying the surface thoroughfares for a little project of mine.
also note more than one bore at once may speed mining drastically, but say four facing the same direction will burn through a few thousand vis in minutes.
