I remember making a similar suggestion a while back in the suggestion forum when I began to grow really tired of babysitting my ore outposts.

I like the idea of even more powerful drills, especially if they look like this . But I don't think the dirty ore aspect is necessary. Conceptually it's a ...

Did you mind it if I maybe make a mod out of this?

I was thinking of making a mod of this. The configs that Factorio lays out make it rather easy. But I realised that if I wanted to make this in a way ...

So I was playing Mekanism the other day. Mekanism is another one of those Industrial Mods for Minecraft™, and like any other Industrial Mod for Minecraft™, it includes an ore scaling mechanic. If you're not familiar with what that means, it means setting up a process by which you get more ingots per ...
