This is the '''FUTURE!'''

Who needs Minecarts, long walkways or a speedy Quantum Suit, if you can harness the ultimate technology of TELEPORTING right to wherever you want?

Teleporters are highly-complex, super-modern pieces of extremely-hayoish-awesome technology, capable of teleporting an infinite number of objects, excluding solid matter in form of blocks, to another teleporter.

However, we recommend buying a whole bunch of our sweet and cheap generator products, otherwise you WILL not be able to power the teleporters sufficiently:

== Usage: ==
1. Place the teleporter next to a power storage unit like an [[MFSU]], or a couple.

2. Using a [[FreqTrans]] link the teleporter to another

3. Wire redstone to the teleporter.

4. Activate the redstone.

If you have enough power in the surrounding storage units the power will be magically drained and you will be instantly teleported to your destination.

== Linking teleporters ==
If only I had a teleporter to test this on >.>

== Power Costs: ==
The power used by the teleporter depends on '''A)''' What is being teleported and '''B)''' How far it is going.

Below is ''(Hopefully)'' the formula's for teleportation costs.

'''Cost to teleport an Animal:''' Distance * 100

'''Cost to teleport a Mob:''' Distance * 500

'''Cost to teleport a Player:''' Distance * (1000 + Inventory + Armor)

Inventory: ''For each non empty slot add (100 * Current stack size) / Max stack size''

Armor: ''For each equipped armor add 100.''

'''Example:'''

Teleporting a player with only chest armor, boots, 64 cobblestone and 20 dirt for 15 distance.

Base cost:'' 1000''

Inventory cost:'' Cobblestone(100 * 64/64) + Dirt(100 * 20/64) = 131.25''

Armor cost: ''Chest(100) + Boots(100)''

Player weight:'' 1000 + 131.25 + 200 = 1331.25''

Total: ''1331.25 * 15 (Distance) = 19,968.75 EU''

== Other Notes: ==
Teleporters can explode if you leave and reload a world without quitting minecraft.

The Automated Miner is the lazy man's answer to mining.

Why spend all that time down in dangerous caves when with a little EU, and a few bits and pieces, you can mine ore from the surface!

==Requirements==
To run the Automated Miner requires 4 things:

'''Energy:''' From a cable or portable sources

'''Pipe:''' [[Mining Pipe]] is consumed to dig down. Returned once the miner retracts

'''Drill bit:''' [[Mining Drill]] or [[Diamond Drill]]

'''Scanner:''' [[OD Scanner]] or [[OV Scanner]]

==Operation==
To use the miner insert a Drill Bit into the top-left, a Scanner in the top-right and your Mining Pipes into the top-middle.

The miner will consume the pipes to dig down extracting ore it finds in its scan range''(See Scanning Range section)''.

Any ore found will be brought up and ejected onto the surface next to the miner. Placing a chest next to the miner will result in the ore being stored in it instead.

Once the miner has finished you can retract the pipes by removing the Drill bit. Also you may place blocks (Dirt etc.) in the pipe slot to fill in the shaft when it retracts.

==Scanning range==
A miner with an [[OD Scanner]] mines all ore in a 5x5 block area around it.

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

However a miner with an [[OV Scanner]] mines all ore in a massive 9x9 block area!

[[file:miner_area_large.png|link=Miner|The 9x9 blocks area]] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28878254/Miner_area_large.png '''Admins this image needs uploading :D'''

==Liquids==
If the miner hits water or lava while tunneling it will stop unless they are cleared.

Alternatively if you place a pump next to the miner ''(filled with empty cells)'' it will extract the liquids for you, storing the lava in the cells for power generation!

== Recipe ==

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Electronic Circuit |B1=Machine |C1=Electronic Circuit
|B2=Mining Pipe
|B3=Mining Pipe
|Output=Miner
}}

== Energy Costs ==
''Rough'' power costs for one operation:

'''Mining Drill:''' ~450-470 EU

'''Diamond Drill:''' ~880-900 EU

'''OD Scanner:''' ~65-75 EU

'''OV Scanner:''' ~165-190 EU

So the cost to drill down 1 level with a Mining Drill + OD Scanner is ~460+~70 = 530

And the cost to drill down 1 level with a Diamond Drill + OD Scanner is ~990+~70 = 960

Diamond Drills are far more expensive but far faster. ~4 times as fast.

'''EU/Tick:'''

A miner with a Mining Drill and OD Scanner will use ~2-3 EU/t.

A miner with a Diamond Drill and OV Scanner will use ~20-24 EU/t due to the higher cost per tool and faster mining speed.

== Other Notes ==
Miners can not mine through items like torches, redstone wiring etc.

'''Scanner:''' [[OD Scanner]] or [[OV Scanner]]

==Operation==
To use the miner insert a Drill Bit into the top-left, a Scanner in the top-right and your Mining Pipes into the top-middle.

The miner will consume the pipes to dig down extracting ore it finds in its scan range''(See Scanning Rage section)''.

Any ore found will be brought up and ejected onto the surface next to the miner. Placing a chest next to the miner will result in the ore being stored in it instead.

Once the miner has finished you can retract the pipes by removing the Drill bit. Also you may place blocks (Dirt etc.) in the pipe slot to fill in the shaft when it retracts.

==Scanning range==
A miner with an [[OD Scanner]] mines all ore in a 5x5 block area around it.

However a miner with an [[OV Scanner]] mines all ore in a massive 9x9 block area!

==Liquids==
If the miner hits water or lava while tunneling it will stop unless they are cleared.

Alternatively if you place a pump next to the miner ''(filled with empty cells)'' it will extract the liquids for you, storing the lava in the cells for power generation!

== Energy Costs ==
Power Costs for drilling down 1 pipe:

'''Mining Drill:''' ~450-470 EU

'''Diamond Drill:''' ~880-900 EU

'''OD Scanner:''' ~65-75 EU

'''OV Scanner:''' ~165-190 EU

So the cost to drill down 1 level with a Mining Drill + OD Scanner is ~460+~70 = 530

And the cost to drill down 1 level with a Diamond Drill + OD Scanner is ~990+~70 = 960

Diamond Drills are far more expensive but far faster.

== Other Notes ==
Miners can not mine through items like torches, redstone wiring etc.

==Operation==
To use the miner insert a Drill into the topleft, a Scanner in the top right and the pipes into the top middle.

The miner will consume the pipes to dig down extracting ore it finds in its scan range.

Any ore found will be brought up and ejected onto the surface next to the miner. If the miner has a chest next to it ore will be stored inside it instead.

Once the miner has finished you can retract the pipes by removing the Drill bit. Placing blocks (Dirt etc.) in the pipe slot will fill the shaft with that block type.

== 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.
