Current build doesnt quintuple ardite and cobalt, but I did open a ticket on that issue with Aiden.
Ah, I get it now! When I first read this, I thought "why would the quarry be replacing bedrock with stone?" D'oh! OK, I'll have a look down at bedrock and see if there's a raggedy load of stone.
Like the normal BC quarry. Sends the bee up to surface. The same with machines and fences (I put by a mistake the ender quarry TO close to my base)
Yes, I got an infernal queen and a comb from my EQ in the nether.
I've been wondering what all those fences are that I see way up in the sky in the mining world. I suppose I should attempt to learn about this Ender Quarry thing. If it is pulling out all the blocks and replacing them with dirt... wow. I actually just sit and watch the Buildcraft quarry working sometimes (I'm a simple person I guess with a simple mind). I enjoy watching stuff work and do its thing. Not sure I like this trend of "less lag" - so we get quarries that don't do anything, pipes that don't show fluids, itemducts that don't show items... sigh
Or we have pipes that show fluids, itemducts that show items... sigh
Really, if you don't like it, don't play with it.
Yea... I hate it when mods are optermised to allow for less lag. PFfffff I was much happier when 10+ people had chunkloaded pumps in the nether and everyone could leave 64x64 holes full of flowing water blocks across the landscape. Now it is almost too easy running a server, bring back the good old days when I had to reset the mining world every week and watch helplessly as my server was bought to its knees by people that don't know how to play efficiently.

I think it's a wonderful design decision that the cheapest TE3 ducts are the more efficient opaque ones, and if you want the extra aesthetics (and CPU/bandwidth cost) of items being rendered then you have to pay a cost for it. A lot of people will just stick with the cheaper items, especially if they are behind walls. Which reminds me, I just ran an item duct down through the landscape from my bean farm to my underground thaumcraft room, and I used transparent ducts for it. I should go replace them with opaque ones, and just leave the transparent ones where I can see them.
Sorry I brought it up, I know its an argument I can't win. I fully understand the benefits of these "less lag" machines... just saying it's unfortunate that's all.
Have you tried transfer pipes attached to a transfer node? I am pretty sure ExU pipes will work on an ExU quarry.

I'm quite a fan of ExU lag reducing versions of the old methods of rescource collection. I prefer to use them as it is less strain on servers which in essence makes for a better experience for players. So the expense/loss of the cool effects is well worth it. In particular with mass resource collection like quarries. (But thaumcraft arcane bore particle effects are to cool to be replaced
)
)Actually, unlike BC quarries, the Ender quarry turns itself off when the inventory it is attached to is full. It still uses power but stops mining and won't spit out anything onto the ground.
This should work since they have in inventory in them. I also highly doubt Tema would have made his quarry not work with his pipes. Tesseracts also work. Best part of them is that they can provide power and take the items.
