I can answer the portable tank one straight away - the rest comes down to personal choice.
Ah great!
Glad I could help! It looks like some really interesting changes going forward in TE5 - have fun!
Extra utilities quarry creates ores as the normal quarry does but Out of nothing... Well energy but it does not mine real blocks. Alternative would be the rf one that os more classic
So, the RFTools builder can act very much as a quarry, including being able to silk touch or fortune blocks.In past modpacks, Immersive Engineering was able to convert EU into RF and vice versa, I assume it still works in FTB Beyond but haven't gotten that far yet.
I'm still trying to figure out what the best EU power source is, and the best RF power source. With no Buildcraft Oil sources, it seems my usual "go-to" for EU, the Semifluid Generators, are pretty useless now.
And I'm also confused that searching for "quarry" only brings up one block from Extra Utilities that I'm not familiar with at all. So still not sure what the best way to accumulate ores is. Already sick of mining by hand after 2 days.
That depends on the configs, but usually the deep dark tends to have about double the normal ores. It might be worth checking whether Grue is in this pack, that could be... messy. It might be worth glancing through the changelogs to see if it mentions anything about ore generation in there.
I love the Virtual Digger and I'll tell you why. If you put three boosters on top before placing it it will mine 16 blocks radius. Very easy to set up. Very mobile also you only need besides the digger and three boosters 2 5k caps, a top tier bat from AA, large chest or ender chest, Item conduit, and mine pack with compression. when your out and about just takes 2 minutes to set up. The 2-5k caps will run it 2-3 times and the bat will fill the cpas when their in your inv. Very good ealier game resource gather and you can set it to ores only FTW!
Why does nobody use the extra utilities one? Setup ones never care again. Maybe not very "realistic" but for me mining/quarrying os not fun so I abuse it
Define "nobody"?
remember it's quite a lot more expensive and hard to make than the AA one - I would entirely expect someone to start with the Digger, and move onto the QQ later! I'm pretty sure a certain prehistoric lupine used it in his last Forgecraft series.Nobody is because I have a to big ego so since nobody answered me now its nobodyDefine "nobody"?remember it's quite a lot more expensive and hard to make than the AA one - I would entirely expect someone to start with the Digger, and move onto the QQ later!

I thought it needed at least one nether star and stuff from the end cities? I suppose it does depend on what you define as easy thoughNobody is because I have a to big ego so since nobody answered me now its nobody
Last Playthrough on dw20 1.10 pack i manualy tinker construct mined the Deep dark and was very easy yo get the quarry. Maybe they changed recipts did not check. This time I Will try the tech evolved one just to change
well for me It is more useful because you may need something specific. Say you need more gold for example. When using the other things you ether have to go with chance or you need to move the whole set up and respec the cords in cases like the builder or the like. For the digger if you have been exploring and come acrossed a mesa pop down your digger and in 2 minute have gold for days.
I'm using the Electric Generator from Forestry, it's not perfect and the overheating is kind of a drag but I turn it on and off when I need RF. IC2 cable on one side and EnderIO conduit on the other.
