I tried to make a boring machine but I couldn't manage it. Every time I opened up the recipe I found my attention wandering...
Did you do it in a crafting table? Because RoC needs it's product made in a worktable
There is nothing that beats mining wells combined with mffs and AE tplanes. Nearly infinitly expandable and quite energy efficient for what you get out of it if designed well. Well if you have RiM installed its even faster and more efficient
That setup, while cool, is nothing compared to:
36 of those will bring in THOUSANDS of ores and other blocks per second, requiring 14 extractors running at a crazy level of power to keep up.
I'm not 100% certain anyone got this joke.
I need that panel from the VGCats comic where the guy said "I got it" in the middle of the crowd after Leo FusRoDahed
Can a MFR laser drill generate ores from all mods?
Because in the wiki there is for example no "Yellorium ore" in the list. So only having an MFR laser drill would deplete the yellorium power source of my BigReactor, which provides the RF for the drill?
Currently I'm powering the MFR laser drill with 5000 RF/t (for testing). But with 5000 RF (= 500 MJ/t) you can run 10(?) quarries at full speed.
And it seems to me that even 1 quarry is faster than the laser drill at the given energy.
So there is no mainenance effort, but its slow for what energy it drains.
Are there other "set and forget" solutions for automated minig?
The laser drill will in fact get yellorium and other mod ores. If it didn't it wouldn't be as useful as it is in Agrarian Skies. That said, my personal favorite is the Digital Miner, because I can quarry in the overworld without leaving holes, it will silk touch things (including hives), you can target specific ores (I usually end up targetting iron when I first get one set up because I tend to use up all the iron I've gathered building it), it will mine through bedrock (you can set it up on the nether roof, and I always do because I hate the nether...I always get lost), and, if you know how to do it, you can mine things that aren't normally mineable, like buildcraft springs and bedrock.
It has a configurable black list, so it's possible to make it have no yellorium.
Contact your friendly server admin about whether or not they have changed it.
Rotarycraft and the other two aren't in TPPI.
Try the Mek Miner, TPPI adjusted the recipe but it picks up every ore in a 8 chunk radius if you configure it to. It can ales replace all blocks it mines.
Someone on TPPI Reddit said "if you're doing IC2, go for the Quarry+ or Mek Miner, if you're doing Magic, go for dig spells or arcane bores, if you're doing RF go for the Ender Quarry, Mek Miner or Laser drill".
