The Mining Pipes, which are used by the Automated Miner, have 4 different versions.
Versions[edit]
Mining Pipe[edit]
This is the basic pipe, and when placed in a Miner, is used to extract any blocks and ores
This is the base pipe for upgrading to Diamond-tipped Pipe, ITNT Pipe, and Extractor Pipes.
Diamond-tipped Pipe[edit]
Diamond-tipped Pipes, when used, double the speed of harvesting, thus halving the energy cost of the [Miner]
They perform the same functions as the [Mining_Pipe#Mining Pipe|Mining Pipe]], with the addition of being able to also harvest obsidian
ITNT Pipe[edit]
Like my grandmother always said: "It's BOOMstick-time!". Just with less stick and more boom.
ITNT pipes will not actively search for ore, but just dig straight down (still harvesting everything in their way).
Upon retracting them, every 3rd We do not guarantue our products being able to count to 3, there may be random occurings ITNT Pipe will EXPLODE. Now, not literally.
Actually, just the ITNT charge INSIDE of the pipe will explode, leaving a neat hole. Then the, of course fully unharmed, pipe will be withdrawn and ejected as Mining Pipe.
Not really the most efficient way for harvesting ore, but surely the most interesting and space-generating one. And it's good for BOOMSTICK-TIME, HAYO!
Extractor Pipe[edit]
Did you ever ran out of fuel for your Geothermal Generator because buckets seem to only take a small percentage of the lava and make the rest disappear? We solved this issue!
Our patented, 100% lava-proof, wood-made Extractor Pipes will ignore all the useless ore, and dig straight (down) for valuable liquids, like water and, especially, lava.
Due to advanced refinement methods, the extraction will even yield in FIVE filled buckets per block of liquid. "FIVE" is not a defined number, but a steady and semi-random variable.
Actual liquid yield cannot be calculated and may vary. As well, liquids can only be stored in empty buckets, located in chests placed next to a miner.
A good example for a high-yield, extremely-efficient and especially-industrial-looking mining area can be found via this link.
