The Automated Miner requires two things to run: Energy and Mining Pipes.

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 ores with the integrated ODE Device.

When ores are found, it will start to dig to them and then mine them. All harvested ores will then be transported through the Mining Pipe and

ejected on the Surface, next to the Miner.

The miner mines all ores in an 5x5 block area around it.

The 5x5 blocks area

Put some Mining Pipes in the upper slot and an energy source in the lower one.

Now the Miner will start it's operation, digging and planting Mining Pipes below it, as well as using the integrated ODE Device to scan for nearby ores.

Once detected, the Miner will dig to the detected ore and harvest it. But it can't mine impenetrable objects (f.e. Obsidian).

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 Pipes and replace them with the filling material (of the upper slot).

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 If the Miner stops operating in this mode, it has withdrawn all pipes and can be collected for placing at a new location.
