Description

# Cheap, fast, small footprint


Dimesions: 5x6 floor, 6 tall


SU required: 992 (248rpm) or 1024 (256rpm) (2 Large water wheels)


Possible clearance: 250 (expandable) x ~2000 (rectangle shape)


Automatically returns after clearing a row


Features
- Automatic repeating mode
- "oneshot" mode/early return (requires brass, alternatively just turn on automatic mode then stop)


Early game friendly (uses minimal almost no b


note: this build is orientation dependent. if you build your orientation in survival chances are it will break. please build the correct orientation in your creative world first (mirrored builds work fine as long as gantry is in same direction)


you can additionally make this build without a rotational speed controller and target 256 rpm, but this will make some gaps after 30ish blocks. Otherwise use exactly 248 rpm


# Rationale


A quarry has 4 major cycles


- Moving to site
- Lowering drill
- Returning drill
- Moving to deposit


Thus, it is possible to encode all 4 states using toggle latches (T flipflops) and trigger state with an observer pointing at a redstone link


# Building


Although I have included the schematic, it is important to know how to build it as setting up the correct state is important


there are 3 total variables that you have to track


- input rotation
- gantry shaft rotation
- build orientation (determines rope pulley mechanism)


if input is clockwise, use left hand shaft


if input is counter-clockwise, use right hand shaft


If the gantry shaft expanding direction is


- +x or -z, use repeater


- -x or +z, toggle latch


button and pulse repeater component is not required, it is just for quality of life
