Is there a machine that can replace a large area of a certain block with another ?

Sounds like an upgraded equal trade focus will be much faster. And use significantly less blocks as it will only replace visible blocks.

But doing it with a miner makes it so that you can do other stuff while it does its job and it is dirt you probably already have more then enough of it anyway. Another nice thing about the miner is probably the fact that after it is done you can let it search for ores.

Just as a warning I never used mekanism so I might be totally wrong about anything I just said.

You can, indeed, set several filters and mine ores as well as replace hardened clay with the same configuration. The main advantage to the Wand, however, is you can set the depth, so you won't run into more unwanted stuff if you just cut through one level of surface, and that the Digital MIner runs on its own. No matter if it takes time, you can do something more interesting than converting the surface of a dozen chunks with the Equal Trade focus.

I'm pretty sure you can use the digital miner from Mekanism to break and replace blocks

Second this idea.

Enderquarry with upgrades is your best bet. It will harvest all the clay without destroying it and will turn it all into stone.

I ended up using the Wand Focus: Equal Trade. It's really cheap to make, cheap to use and offers a higher level of control than the other methods
