The Automated Miner requires two things to run: '''Energy''' and '''[[Mining Pipe]]s'''.

Loading pipes into the miner is done by placing the amount you wish to drill down into the top slot. It places one pipe each level and while doing this, it looks for ore with the integrated [[OD Scanner]].

When ore are found, it will start to dig to them and then mine them. All harvested ore will then be transported through the [[Mining Pipe]] and ejected on the Surface, next to the ''Miner''.

The miner mines all ore in a 5x5 block area around it.

[[file:miner_area.png|link=Automated Miner|The 5x5 blocks area]]

Additionally, all liquids in the same area will be harvested if an [[Extractor Pipe]] is used.

Put some [[Mining Pipe]]s in the upper slot and an energy source in the lower one.

Now the ''Miner'' will start its operation, digging and planting [[Mining Pipe]]s below it, as well as using the integrated [[OD Scanner]] to scan for nearby ore.

Once detected, the ''Miner'' will dig to the detected ore and harvest it. But it can't mine impenetrable objects (e.g. Obsidian), or liquids, without specialized [[Mining Pipe]]s.

Then it will stop mining and the "Operation-Bar" will stay full without continuing to harvest.

Once you've stripped the entire area, you can just put any sort of block into the upper slot.

The ''Miner'' will then start WITHDRAWING all laid [[Mining Pipe]]s and replace them with the filling material (of the upper slot).
Putting in glass will result in pipes being withdrawn without filling the shaft, leaving a hole all the way to the bottom.

This way, you will never "consume" [[Mining Pipe]]s. If the ''Miner'' stops operating in this mode, it has withdrawn all pipes and can be collected for placing at a new location.

==Geothermal Generator combo==

A ''Miner'' adjacent to one or more [[Geothermal Generator]]s, and using Extractor pipes will automatically supply the Geothermal Generator(s) with lava. Note the ''Miner'' still requires power.

Extracted lava per operation is converted to 5000 [[EU]]. A single lava source block may be operated on multiple times before disappearing (may be random).

== Efficiency ==

For the Miner to be energy efficient, i.e. not cost anything in terms of energy to run, the miner must dig up 24 or more coal or 1 uranium. Usually the miner will bring one or two Uranium to the surface after every excavation from sea level to layer 5 (about 64 blocks).

I worked it out by looking at how many blocks were brought up (i.e. how many operations it has done) after laying 64 pipe and fully retracting it. I found it to average around 192 operations. Times that by 500 EU per operation and you have 192 times 500 which equals 96000 EU per entire excavation. When you burn coal in a generator you get 4000 EU per piece, and to find out how many pieces you need you devide 96,000 by 4000 and you get 24 pieces of coal. With uranium, you get 160,000 EU per piece after refining it into bars and using them in a reactor, which easily covers the energy cost of the miner.

Knowing this information allows you not let your miner leech your energy reserves if the only source of energy you get is from non renewable resources that are mined from the ground.

OD Scanner

Gmother:

The '''Ore Density Scanner''' does... uhm... evaluate the total Ore Density of the ground below your feet. [[file:picture_na.png|right|link=]]

In fact, it will '''scan a small area around you and then display the ore/stone ratio''' of the scanned area.

I've got to say, I have no clue about the exact math algorithm, either, but someone told me '''BIGGER values mean MORE ORE''' and are therefore GOOD.

'''And Good means Profit, HAYO!'''

'''Actual World Record''' for highest naturally measured Ore Density:

'''<big>Jay, 132.0'''</big>

This tool may be charged using a [[Mobile Charger]] or a [[Generator]] of any kind (but not a [[MFS Unit]] or [[MFE Transmitter]]).

Nano-Leggings

Gmother:

[[Carbon|Carbon Plates]] are the most essential Ressource for ''Nanosuits''. As well as... '''[[Energy Crystal]]s'''! [[File:picture_na.png|right|link=]]
Why to use [[Energy Crystal|Crystals]] in an armor?

Now, for Energy storage, of course!

Energy Storage?

Didn't we tell you already, '''the Nanosuit runs on ENERGY''' and '''takes most of his protective ability from an ENERGY SHIELD'''! HAYO!

Of course, for effectively using and recharging a Nanosuit, you will need [[RE Battery|Batterys]] and a [[Mobile Charger]], don't forget that!

<small><code>Note: Atm the recipes are in a test phase, thus you can upgrade the Nano Suit by just placing it in a crafting window.
And if that wasn't even enough, you can additionally further UPGRADE your ultimately cool Nano Suit into an even MORE ultimately cool ADVANCED Nano Suit.
Actually, that seems to be all you can do. I didn't really notice anything special about it at all.
Probably i should have tried pressing a ConTRoL key or something...</code></small>
