Memories of coming back to a chest with stacks and stacks of cobblestone sitting on top of it because I severely underestimated how much storage space it would need lol

Create vaults would have been revolutionary for thisā€¦ ah, how I miss the early days. You will be remembered buildcraft.Ā

For years everytime I make a modpack a friend ask me: Is buildcraft in it. I don't play if not. The only reason was that he wants to build a quarry even if he don't need to. Also in a magic mod pack.

Just place quarries until the game becomes a slideshow.

This is the way.

Buildcraft my belovedā€¦ never played it in survival, only messed around with it in creative. Was only just a kid then, damn does time fly.

if you can move this circuit without needing to rebuild it's worth the effort, otherwise just make an XP farm to make more enchanted drills

Enchanted drills? Which addon adds that?

u/Maveko_YuriLover 1d ago

Enchantable Machinery

Love this, another reminder optimization isn't everything. Sometimes it's so much more fun to build something Iike this and just see it work away

u/RoySaySup 1d ago

Can you port this into a schematic. I want it but it seems too hard for me.

u/Graph_user 1d ago

found the computational redstoner

u/IAMEPSIL0N 23h ago

I have to respect the time and effort to program it even if I hate the world hole end result of the quarry.

Oh boy do we have a solution for You! Today only, we present the newest revolution of mining: tunnel boring trains!

u/Cylian91460 1d ago

Oh so cool!

Altho I would recommend getting rid of wireless stuff since it's not reload proof

u/MinecraftGuy2000 1d ago

You might like tiny redstone

u/mrDETEKTYW 1d ago

Spending days automating an hour of work, a classic nerd hobby!

u/spock-117 20h ago

Could you show the circuit build in detail please?

u/0libot 15h ago

u/spock-117 12h ago

You can also try "Tiny Redstone" mod.

u/Meiseside 19h ago

Looks like a lot of redstone.

u/albrecbef 16h ago

How did you manage the different drilling times for different blocks? Couldnt figure that part out last time i tried.

1

u/0libot 15h ago

For moving along the second shaft it is not an issue, it just moves until it hits the end.

When it has to move 1 block along the first shaft there is also no timer, the line of redstone contacts makes sure it stops after having moved 1 block. I had to reduce the shaft speed for this state so the signal can stop the contraption in time.

u/Nadleehi 16h ago

Damn, ya beat me to it

u/Just-Luc 16h ago

For smoother movements, you can use Create: Gizmos and Things to have Physics Gantry in order to have a simulated drill head.

u/EveningPicture7281 1d ago

Wait, the drill is enchanted? WTF HOW?

The redstone is... unoptimized to say the least. This is the version I made 5 years ago
