			This is the '''FUTURE!'''

	~~The Automated Miner is~~ the ~~lazy man's answer~~ to ~~mining.~~		Who needs Minecarts, long walkways or a speedy Quantum Suit, if you can harness the ultimate technology of TELEPORTING right to wherever you want?

	~~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!~~		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.

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

	~~'''Drill bit:'''~~ [[~~Mining Drill]] or [[Diamond Drill~~]]		2. Using a [[FreqTrans]] link the teleporter to another

	~~'''Scanner:''' [[OD Scanner]] or [[OV Scanner]]~~		3. Wire redstone to the teleporter.

	~~==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)''~~.		4. Activate the redstone.

	~~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~~.		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.

	~~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.~~		== Linking teleporters ==

	~~==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]]~~		== Power Costs: ==
			'''Cost to teleport an Animal:''' Distance * 100

	~~However~~ a ~~miner with an [[OV Scanner]] mines all ore in a massive 9x9 block area!~~		'''Cost to teleport a Mob:''' Distance * 500

	~~[[file~~:~~miner_area_large.png\|link=Miner\|The 9x9 blocks area]] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28878254/Miner_area_large.png~~		'''Cost to teleport a Player:''' Distance * (1000 + Inventory + Armor)

	~~==Liquids==~~		Inventory: ''For each non empty slot add (100 * Current stack size) / Max stack size''
	~~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!~~		Armor: ''For each equipped armor add 100.''

	~~== Recipe ==~~

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

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

	~~== Energy Costs ==~~		Base cost:'' 1000''
	~~Power Costs for one operation~~:

	''~~'Mining Drill:'~~'' ~~~450-470 EU~~		Inventory cost:'' Cobblestone(100 * 64/64) + Dirt(100 * 20/64) = 131.25''

	''~~'Diamond Drill:'~~'' ~~~880-900 EU~~		Armor cost: ''Chest(100) + Boots(100)''

	''~~'OD Scanner:'~~'' ~~~65-75 EU~~		Player weight:'' 1000 + 131.25 + 200 = 1331.25''

	''~~'OV Scanner:~~''~~' ~165-190 EU~~		Total: ''1331.25 * 15 (Distance) = 19,968.75 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~~.		== Other Notes: ==
			In v1.00 teleporters can explode if you log in and out without closing the client.


	~~'''EU/Tick:'''~~		== Recipe ==

	~~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.~~

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 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.
