Miner

How to use it

1. Place the miner where you want to dig.
2. In its slots: a drill on top (Mining Drill or Diamond Drill, which digs faster), Mining Pipe in the middle and, if you want it to look for ores around the shaft, a scanner below (OD Scanner or OV Scanner).
3. Give it power (up to 32 EU per packet, LV).

What it does

• It digs a shaft, placing mining pipe block by block.
• On each layer it takes the ores within 3 blocks with the OD scanner, or 6 with the OV. Without a scanner it only digs the shaft.
• What it mines stays in its 15 slots: empty them by hand or with hoppers.
• If it hits water or lava it needs an attached Pump to clear the shaft.

When it is done

• Take the drill out: it pulls the pipes back up.
• If you put another block (dirt, for example) in the pipe slot, it uses it to fill the shaft on the way up.

The Advanced Miner needs no drill or pipes and covers much more ground.
