This will turn Industrialcraft energy from, for example, a Geothermal Generator into BuildCraft energy. Using An Energy LinkĪnother way to power the quarry which is much more compact is by using an Energy Link connected to a Conductive Teleport Pipe. If you want to run the quarry at full speed with Steam Engines, you will have to power the Quarry via Conductive Pipes. For the Quarry to operate at maximum mining speed, it needs 9 MJ/t, which translates to 2 internal combustion engines running on fuel (outputting 5 MJ/t each), or 9 steam engines (these put out 1 MJ/t).Īs the Quarry has only 4 sides free to attach engines to, one way to power a Quarry is to place 4 Steam Engines on all 4 sides. Because of this, the Quarry can be powered by any BC compatible engine. The Quarry, like all other BuildCraft Machines, has an internal energy storage in which it stores MJ until it can perform an operation. When using EU to power a Quarry, an Energy Link is the best option however to get the most power into the quarry and make it as fast as possible use adjustable engine which will need power but the end result is much better When using MJ to power a Quarry, Engines must be used. Quarries can be powered using MJ, BuildCraft's form of power, or EU, IndustrialCraft's form of power. If the Quarry reaches bedrock, it will need to be relocated before it will mine again. This will turn the lava into obsidian - which the quarry can mine.

A preventative measure for this issue is to fill the Quarry's excavation area with water. In the event the quarry encounters lava, the rest of the blocks under the lava will not be mined, due to the fact that the quarry is coded to stop at lava, or bedrock.

There is no need for a Wooden Pipe to fetch the items the Quarry will place the items into a connected Stone Pipe, Cobblestone Pipe, Gold Pipe, Iron Pipe, Diamond Pipe or even a container on its own. You can also pipe out your excavated blocks. These blocks will be deposited into any adjacent chest or will be spat onto the ground if there isn't one.

Once the frame is complete, it will spawn a crane-like structure that will begin to mine the area one block at a time.

Upon starting, the Quarry will clear the area within the black and yellow bars (note: these blocks are destroyed, not mined) and build a frame.
