Quarry



Quarry is a machine that automatically mines blocks to the bottom-right from where it's placed. It will also collect anything it encounters while mining, including vines, chests, etc. It acts as a 16-slots storage and stores everything inside. It doesn't require any Power.

By default the Quarry will only mine foreground blocks. To make it mine background blocks, wire its second Input to something that provides "ON" signal (for example, Signal Emitter or Iron Lever).

At the very beginning of its work (when the Quarry is just placed) it extends its "hand" to the right, up to the maximum reachable horizontal distance (for example, 16 blocks for Iron Quarry). The Quarry can only mine directly below its arm. If there were solid blocks in the way that prevented the arm to be extended, then Quarry will have less horizontal reach than it otherwise would.
