Start with a 200V power unit

From the 200V example build, we know how to make a 200V power unit.

For this example, you could hook up to an existing 200V line, or make a new power unit specially for the Autominer.

There are even better ways to get power to an autominer, but those are outside the scope of this example.

Transform up to 800V

We can use a transformer to transform 200V up to 800V.

keep an eye on where the green square and yellow square are in the world in our case yellow is on the 200V side, and green on the 800V side.

Now the transformer will transform at a ratio of 1:4 . (and 200*4=800)

Set up autominer

Place the Autominer where you want to mine. It will mine down to bedrock in a 32 block radius circle. It will dig an open shaft in the middle, but otherwise it replaces all valuable ores with rock as it digs. (In that sense it is comparable to a common configuration of the mekanism digital miner)

Example autominer 4.png

  • Place an Electrical Drill (any kind) in the left slot (top right)
  • Place a stack of Mining Pipe in the right slot (top right)
  • Leave silk touch off. In this configuration you may not have enough power to use that.

Example autominer 5.png

  • Place a chest (or some other inventory block) at the rear of the autominer.
