Advanced Miner II

The Advanced Miner II has a similar configuration to the Drilling Rig, except that is has a fluid import and a item output.

It requires drilling fluid and mining pipes (in controller block top-right invisible slot) to function.

100 liters of Drilling fluid is required for each operation whether or not an ore is found and mined and consumes 48 EU/t. One operation takes about 1,5 second (MV).

Only Gregtech ores are mined. All other ores are ignored. When a GT ore is found the miner performs a lookup for the ore's universal macerator/rock crusher recipes and returns the output multiplied by 1-5. In other words, the miner will produce up to 5 times the output of a universal macerator per ore it finds. Amount of byproducts depends on Energy Hatch Tier, same as macerator recipes (HV makes +1 byproduct, EV +2).

It has an operation area of 97x97 blocks (48 blocks to each direction from it's controller block).

All this 6x6+ chunks must be loaded, or miner will skip blocks in unloaded chunks. Unloading all chunks around except one with miner may be usefull to quickly lower mining pipe to next vein.
