Thumper (Flaxbeard's Steam Power)

The Thumper is a machine from Flaxbeard's Steam Power. It is the mod's automatic mining solution. Unlike most automatic miners, it does not output the drops. Instead, all dropped items and blocks will stay in the mine. Additionally, it does not create a square hole or a strip mine. When placed on the surface and supplied with steam, it will begin to repeatedly smash the ground, creating a large ravine underneath it. This process is very slow. As the ravine begins to grow, the machine may slow and cease to destroy blocks. It is at this point that the machine should be moved to a new location.

s can be placed on any side except for the top, and s cannot be placed on any side of it.

It will only mine blocks that are classified as using grass, clay, rock, ground, or sand materials. Anything else will not be mined.
