How to remove ore patches.

[Dry Hairy Tree]

Ever wanted to remove those pesky ore patches in the middle of your plans.. Now you can.

Using the waterfill (mod) and landfill together, unwanted ore is a thing of the past. Note: If you waterfill under your feet you will die.

Lucky I'm not normal then. And thanks for the heads up on the ore eraser.

This is for those who like to add more complexity to the game

This is so wasteful though.

I prefer to just mine it into a logistics network. The bots will automatically sort it by type and stow it in boxes to be delivered to a passing train so that the material can be utilized.
