EPTThey give too many resources, make all the other cool things obsolete.
Who cares about being efficient when you have diamonds chests filled with ores.

They are balanced for the fact that they mine at about half the speed a human can do it, but do it constantly while there is someone around. But this balance only works in single player mode. In SMP they are running CONSTANTLY, giving you way more than their cost warrents. | ||

I tried coming up with something that doesn't revolve around them acting as world anchors but I'm not sure if it will just create some kind of OKAY GUESS I'LL JUST AFK ALL DAY TO KEEP IT LOADED reaction from most guys. I genuinely don't like the idea of logging in a day later and being done with an entire quarry but I'm not sure how to work around it properly. In general I'll most likely disable all craftable world anchors and let mods give out restricted amounts per person just so we have an idea about which chunks are loaded permanently. | ||

Just a thought. EDIT: Or maybe set up a Mystcraft world with fewer ores per chunk, and only allow quarries to be run there? | ||

600mj/t for max speed will be a nice way to balance it. Possibly with 1.4.5 this is possible in the config file, as the quarry will accept speeds higher than current max with 6mj/t in 1.4.5 | ||

The same goes for other automated miners. Make turtles burn fuel like a blast furnace, and miners require a medium sized power plant to be effective. Together with a nerf to the speed, it will be much slower to get the massive amount of resources that we can get on the test server (just look at my barrels full of metal blocks). | ||

Another note about the limited world anchors idea, IC2 quarries act as world anchors now. Just something to keep in mind. | ||

As for the quarries, is it possible to adjust the anchorage via IC2's configs? | ||
