Hello,

In first i want to say that i'm deaf, so every information are more difficult to get in the game without earing any spotlight or let's play ... So please forgive me if i ask "easy thing"

So my question are about the Ender Quarry or extra utilitie :

- I crafted the "World hole upgrade" so i guess that i need to place it adjacent de the quarry right ? (With other upgrade eventually) (I dont placed the Quarry yet, waiting to be sure to know what i do)

- Does the "World hole upgrade" set the quarry to mine at max range or i still need to use fence or ender marker ?

Thanks in advance.
If you have any website that keep updated on all the new 1.7.10 stuff it would be great (not only for extra utilities) because i'm still using google to find information but i always get the old version wiki so that's why it's hard.

Thanks again

Yes, the Upgrades for the Ender quarry need to be placed directly next to it, then it should visually attach to the quarry.

The World Hole upgrade makes the Ender quarry behave like the Buildcraft Quarry. The Ender quarry replaces what it mines with dirt while the Buildcraft Quarry simply mines everything leaving a big hole that goes down to bedrock.

You will need to use fences or markers to designate the Ender quarries boundry regardless of applied upgrades. Just remember that fences take up two sides of the Ender Quarry where as markers only take up one. This can affect how many upgrades you can attach.

The Ender quarry, according to RWTema, has no limit. To quote his Minecraft Forums thread under the description of the Ender Quarry:
RWTema's Ender Quarry Description said:
The Ender quarry is an automated mining system that combines uncontained energy of the end and the raw power of mother nature to extract the precious bounty of the earth while leaving its structure untouched. Once a boundary is defined (see next page), the quarry will teleport anything that is not dirt or plant life to an adjacent inventory, leaving a block of dirt in the originals place.

In order to use the quarry, you have to first manually make a boundary using fences (either wooden, nether-brick or "micro-block" fences). Once placed, the entire fence boundary must be rectangular with no gaps or intersections. The fence boundary can go up or down at a single spot if you stack fences on top of each other. Once complete, remove a fence post, place the quarry and right-click.

If all is done correctly, the quarry will start mining. It will mine vertically, and will complete each "chunk" before moving on to the next one. The quarry will self-chunk load, and only keeps two chunks in memory at any point in time (because of this there is no "max" size.

Edit: oh, and just for reference a link to the forum page.
