How to use it

The Quarry clears its area, builds a yellow-black frame and moves its drill layer by layer down to bedrock.

Default: 9×9 behind the quarry. Cost: 20 + 20 × hardness MJ per block (stone 50 MJ) plus 2 MJ/t while the drill head moves; more power = faster head (up to 40 MJ/t).

Bigger with land marks: link three marks (corner + one on X and Z, up to 64 blocks) with right-click, then place the quarry right next to a mark – up to 64×64.

Items go into chests/pipes next to it, otherwise they pop out on top.
