Mining Machine

This is a small mining machine that builds a protective wall around it while also removing any liquid block infront of it. The machine uses a furnace minecart but you can switch it to powered rails by swaping the rail in to a powered rail in the deployer filter and adding redstone block in the torch deployer. The Brass Funnels at the back of the machine can be used to drop unwanted items. To do so you must setup the filters with the items of your choice but be carefull because you do need to keep some blocks in the vault for the machine to build the walls, roof and floor.

The Copper Mining Machine is a variant of the machine that i modified for my survival world. Instead of a vault it uses Sophisticated Storage to store items and automatically delete extra. I also used Copycats+, Create Encased, Design n' Decor and Create Deco to change the asthetics of it. This variant uses a furnace minecart and instead of torches it places down Mega Torches from the Torchmaster mod.

How to use: Once build make sure the cart assembler is on Lock Rotation. Activate the lever and use a wrench to pick up the miner and you can now place it down anywhere you want to start mining. When placing it down make a row of 3-4 rails and place it down in the last rail. Make sure to stand directly behind the minecart so you can use the trapdoor to climb up the machine. To pick it up the easiest way is to activate the Contraption Controls next to the seat. This will stop all the deployers so that when you place it down in your base it wont build a wall around it. 

NOTE: Although not in the machine you can add anywhere on the machine a portable storage interface to automaticaly remove and proccess items.
