So this doesn't even cause removed blocks to drop for players to pick up? That sucks.

I too would like the option to not destroy the blocks so I can convert them to paste. The quarry is good for that, I know.

Yes I am very aware of what you can and cant do in the game as I was one of the people helping DJ with it.

You're aware you can hook up a coal vein to a paste grinder, right?

You would be surprised how much paste blocks I use ;) and having the extra blocks to turn into paste is always a good thing.

That could absolutely be implemented, and you could grab the source and do that if you wanted... realistically though, do you really need the junk blocks by that point in the game?

I wish there was a way that you could toggle between "Destroy" blocks and "Break" blocks.

Yes, it’s not stopped by cryp, but doesn’t destroy it

Can this go through (as in shoot through, without destroying) cryo?

So far, this seem to be the only thing that can replace BFL-9000 that was mothballed.
That thing cleared everything in a 3x3, except hard resin. I wouldnt mind such function out of the box tbh

I get that. My thinking was that it would be a little too straight forward if it did *all* the work for you, so you have to clear out ores. As far as the width goes, I've solved that before using multiple bores running in parallel. It wouldn't actually be hard to make it configurable, but I find it works well enough (at least for now).

I did use this mod but the lack of ability to remove Ore as a setting had me going back to the Mk2 excavator. At the stage where I needed to dig the trenches I didnt care about any Ore veins in the way. Also I would have liked a setting to vary the width of the stair cutter. Just my feedback. Great idea though.

Minecarts cannot go vertically, so stairs are used.

I don't understand the purpose of the stairs for minecarts.

have not used this mod yet but I think this mod will really help me. thanks!

Well done!

Used the stair case bore to make stairs for a few sets of minecart rails. Saved a lot of time vs manually digging steps.
