I havn't tested. I'll grab a redstone energy cell and see what 100 MJ/t does.
So far it is producing. Just slower, so 144 would get you some stuff for sure.
... Okay. I'm going to dig out a hole from surface to bedrock, then fire the Laser Drill up over the hole. I shall call it my LiaraTec Deep Core Mineral Extractor.
Oh man, the deep mining laser is going to be fucking EPIC.
All we need now is an end-game source of MJ. Something that puts out a couple hundred MJ without taking up an entire chunk of space would be nice.

I can just imagine it now...
Frames + This mining laser.
Orbital mining satellite!
And I will go...

Well... much slower. But if we talking about server that doesn't matterForgot to add the pic.
30 minutes at 100 MJ/t:
Feather mining does the trick for me. I'm trying to avoid Mystcraft ages because it's the reason I've lost like 3 or 4 worlds so far (SMP + BSOD = Fail). Hopefully this will get better after 1.4.7.
Well, that's interesting.
At any rate, this game needs more silktouch ore methods. I like this. More variety is always good.
Once Ultimate is updated to 1.5 or 1.6 or whatever they plan on doing I'll have to check it out. If it's good enough, I may just sack my BC quarry in favor of it.
Question: Is the lack of copper and tin in those SS because of a lack of a mod? The presence of the other mod ores is reassuring, but I want to make sure that this ore fabricatormabob is compatible with other mod ores.

I recently started a SSP DW20. Still early game, I've made a few trips to the nether and located the 1st end portal. So far I only have some basic machines (2 geos, macerator, extractractor, electric furnace, pulverizer, allow furnace) and iron armor (jet pack & bat pack). This turtle program worked great. I actually ran it underground at about y50 and it quickly returned a bunch of materials. So I highly recommend this program.
I took a look at that program. I really like the idea, but it makes me want to write my own program that is probably more efficient (i.e. a lower cobble-to-ore ratio of everything mined) using tiered 1x2 mineshafts...
Hmm...I think I'll write it tonight.
I don't know if it'll be any faster (the turtle will be turning left and right a LOT more often due to lack of detectRight() or detectLeft(), even if it is actually mining less), but you'll end up with less cobble/dirt junk in the end.
Maybe I could use two turtles to make the offset tiers easier...
