Anyone have any suggestions on an efficient quarry system? I'm on DW20 1.10.2, I have a quantum quarry, but it's not that efficient since it costs a ton of rf to run. Any other good quarries?
The RFTools Builder block with a quarry card might be your friend. It can be made to silk touch I believe, but naturally that increases the cost of use. Unlike the quantum quarry, this isn't "virtual" (i.e. unlimited) mining, and you may end up with huge holes in your world where you've used it. It is also pretty thirsty for RF regardless though.Anyone have any suggestions on an efficient quarry system?

If you already have a Quantum Quarry, you may be best served to simply up your power generation game. Having a never ending, stable, low lag, maintenance free system is worth the hassle of dedicating a major project to power it, in my opinion. Most auto mining setups are pretty power hungry, but many will require significantly more user upkeep. Power, on the other hand, is easy to create, and can be done by using any number of fuels you likely have stockpiled (coal from said quarry, being an easy go-to, but charcoal is effectively infinite, and let's not forget the good old Culinary Generator).Anyone have any suggestions on an efficient quarry system?

Do people still build boring machines/world eaters with Frames?- in terms of raw digging power those well engineered machines beat pretty much anything.
(depending on which port/config setting your using, the frame machine may not need that much power either).

Seems overpowered.Basically, it's a platform (frames, from RedPower, Funky Locomotion, or similar) of Mining Wells or AE Destruction Planes than passively moves through the world "eating" everything it passes over or comes in contact with. Direwolf20 has built a few in his numerous series (Forgecraft season 6 seems about right, but I wouldn't put money on it).
If you run Minecraft WorldEater through the Google machine, it should give you food for thought.

Yes like the Builder Block, you need insane power gen to keep it running, but the amount of resources you need to keep it running comes the mining. An infinite cycle of produce power with auto mined resources, and then use that power to get more resources, to make more power.Hah, back in 1.4.7 you couldn't use Tesseracts because they HATED being moved.
But yeah, the hardest part is getting everything to stick to the frames, and not stick out in order to get sheared off. Personally I will eventually get enough resources to do one with Engineer's Toolbox, which I'm hoping eventually updates to a newer version. Mostly though it's all about having the resources to get infinite resources. So a self-defeating goal most of the time.
