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!?
Recipe[edit]
Requirements[edit]
Running the Miner requires 3 things:
- Energy from a cable or portable sources. It will only accept 32EU/p
- Mining Pipe is consumed to dig down, but will be returned if the drill is removed.
- A Mining Drill or Diamond Drill
Optional[edit]
- An OD Scanner or OV Scanner, so that it branches off to the sides to mine blocks, instead of just boring a shaft directly down.
- A Pump to collect lava and water blocks that get in the way of mining.
These are optional, but highly recommended.
Operation[edit]
To use the Miner, insert a Drill Bit into the top-left, a Scanner in the bottom-left and Mining Pipes into the middle-left.
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 stored in the inventory of the Miner. Placing an Ejector Upgrade in the top right slot will make the Miner eject the ores and cobblestone into whatever inventory the Ejector Upgrade is set to eject to.
Once the Miner has finished, you can retract the pipes by removing the Drill bit.
An easy method of efficiently mining with the Miner is to dig down to the upper level of the strata containing the ore you are seeking. Dig through a tunnel until you find a scan result you are happy with and set up the Miner. For power, consider using a Geothermal Generator, as you are likely to be relatively deep and pumping Lava from a Pump adjacent to the Miner is an energy efficient means to power the Miner.
Scanning Range[edit]
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 13x13 block area!
Liquids[edit]
If the Miner hits water or lava while tunneling it will stop unless they are cleared.
Placing a Pump next to the Miner will automatically extract liquids, storing the lava in the tank and discarding the water.
Energy Costs[edit]
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 EU
And the cost to drill down 1 level with a Diamond Drill + OD Scanner is ~890+~70 = ~960 EU
The Diamond Drill is far more expensive but around four times faster.
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[edit]
- Miners can not mine through items like torches, redstone wiring, etc.
- In the 2.X Experimental version of IndustrialCraft there is an Advanced Miner with two modes: blacklist and whitelist. It can accept up to High Voltage (512 EU/t), and does not need Mining Pipe or a Mining Drill.
- Sought after blocks are controlled in the .minecraft/config/IC2.cfg file on the line start with valuableOres=, if you want to add blocks from other mods the list is a comma separated set of blocks following this pattern: blockID-Damage:ScannerValue, ; when the damage value is not specified all possible values match.
