Making a big hole, creative mode.

Messing with some design ideas in creative, what is the fastest way to make a 45 x 45 hole, 70 odd deep?

Quarry, RS energy cell.

Filler, energy cell.

Oh yeah! Filler. completelly forgot about that thing.

It still doesn't beat a nuke if you don't mind the fact that your 45x70x45 hole will be a small part of a much larger hole.

Otherwise though, the filler to get a 45xbedrockx45 hole, and then fill back up to the correct level is likely the ticket.

Can you change the default size of the quarry footprint? Not used it much, and never used filler, will have to have a quick look on YouTube!

Yeah, you need to use landmarks. It's lapis over rs torch. you'll need at least 5, 4 to define th base, 1 for the height. You can give them a rs signal to make them shoot out a guiding laser. Right clicking the landmark will make them shoot red laser, which means they're ready. After that you just need to set the quarry or filler next to one of the landmarks.

The setting which'll make the filler empty out an area is all glass.

Actually, for the clear setting, you only need 4 landmarks (one origin, and 3 vertices from it), and, if you put it at the bottom and use the clear function (3 bricks topped with 3 glass) it'll clear from the filler upwards, so you only need 3 to define the base.
