BuildCraft Quarry

[Glyth84]

Is it possible to alter the block list for what the BC Quarry mines? Ex- In my current single player world, my quarries unearthed a fortress and I want to leave it intact. Is there anyway to get the quarry to leave it alone other than placing bedrock on top of all the chambers and hallways? I've attempted to locate the config file for the quarry, but have found nothing in any of my config files that directly effect the quarry, which seems odd to me. Maybe I am just looking in the wrong folders/files?

There's no blacklist/whitelist for the quarry, it would be weird having the quarry arm go through the non mined blocks to reach the blocks underneath.Your best option is probably to use the filler to remove large chunks of land around it and then mine the rest by hand.

Thank you for the reply. I wasn't overly worried about mining the blocks under the fortress, as long as the structure itself stayed intact. But thank you for the suggestion.

If you do plough through something of value, you wont loose any loot as the quarry sucks up items. (spawners -however- do not fare as well)

The easiest solution would be just to turn off the quarry and raid the fort, or just move the quarry.

The reason I am wanting to leave it intact, is I was going to move my base into the fort. Use it for my operations that way I was right next to the end portal when I get to the point of needing it.

Ok, thats actually pretty sweet. Post plenty of screenshots

(fancy end portal rooms always look good- its a shame more people don't do it.)​

 

[Glyth84]

I agree. My long-term plan is to use that room as my "portal" room for all my in game portals, nether, end, twilight etc...

If a mod wants unbreakable blocks, they can capture BlockBreakEvents OR use the same tricks bedrock does. Those work reliably across BuildCraft.

If a mod wants unbreakable blocks,

then that's not what this thread is about.

I realized that a while after I posted it, but forgot to edit it. Whoops!
