How to mine quartz?

Post by MEOWMI »

Pardon the silly question, but how do I mine quartz? The mining drill won't work and I can't craft anything else that mines.

I play with all the PyMods installed. Mods and game, newest version.

Oh, I guess I finally found it. Coal processing tab, third row.

In my defense, it's pretty hard to find things. I looked over everything multiple times and still didn't see it.

It would be much better if items were sorted by use rather than by mod. The crafting tabs added by the game are barely helpful in organizational value.

The way I discovered what machine I needed to use to mine quartz was by walking to the quartz patch and pressing 'q' (or whatever your picker hotkey is). That will pull up a ghost of the machine you need to use in order to be able to mine it.

Heads up - you'll also not use standard miners for borax, and biosample (if playing Alien Life).
