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. :D

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

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

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.
