Void Miner

Is a multi-block structure added by Environmental Tech. It generates various ores, crystals, and botanicals using energy. It comes in 8 tiers.

Introduction

There’s 2 IO blocks that is needed for Void Miner. At-least 1 Item Output and 1 Energy (FE) Input IO Block, though more can be used. When supplied enough power via FE Input IO’s, the Void Miner (Based on Tick Duration) will output items of various types through the Item Output IO.

This process can be sped up by using Frequency modifiers, placing them in the Void Miner modifier slots. Specific items can be made more likely to appear by using a colored Laser Lens, while this effect can be amplified by using Amplification modifiers.

Void Miner also requires it’s Laser Core to have a straight view to either Bedrock or The Void in order to work.

Transparent blocks such as Glass, walls, or fences may be used to provide a safe path under the structure without blocking the beam.

Modifiers

Modifiers are optional to use / replaced with Null Modifiers if you cannot afford to craft them. You can use higher and lower tiers of Modifiers and IO’s on any tier Void Miner multi-block, such as Tier 5 Frequency Modifiers on a Tier 2 Void Miner multi-block. This is important to note, as the Tier 1 Void Miner needs more power than one Tier 1 FE Input can give the multi-block. The solution is to either use your first two Erodium to upgrade your FE Input, or to use two Tier 1 FE Inputs on your Tier 1 Void Miner.

What is Duration & Tick Costs?
Duration
Is how long it will take the miner, provided that it has the tick cost worth of energy supplied, to generate an item.
Tick Cost
Is the energy required per tick to allow the miner to mine at the maximum speed that is currently possible with all modifiers included. If you don’t provide the tick cost amount of energy or more then your Void Miner will be slower.

Frequency | Speeds up miners - Duration.

Increases the speed of the Void Miner operation. This is visually displayed on the Void Miner CCU labeled as 'Duration'. Duration is measured in ticks needed per operation. 20 ticks is equal to 1 second in real life if you are running at 20 FPS. 1,000 Duration (or 1,000 ticks) is equal to 50 seconds. The Duration is lowered by upgrading your Frequency Modifiers, or by adding more Frequency Modifiers. Once your Duration hits 0, the item generation rate cannot go faster. Any further Frequency Modifiers will not affect the Void Miner's speed. They will only increase the Tick Cost.

Bandwidth | Increases amount of mined items

Increases the possible maximum stack size of each mined drop up to 64 items per single operation. Bandwidth Modifiers cannot be crafted until you generate Tier 5 Ionite Crystals at Tier 4 Void Miner (Pladium). Without any Bandwidth Modifiers, a Void Miner will produce 1 item per operation always

Amplification | Gives Lenses more Accuracy (High Drop Rate).

Increases the chance of getting the preferred ores with the Colored Lens the player is using. This is not a commonly used Modifier as in the later tiers of the Void Miner you will be producing hundreds of ores in fractions of a second (lmao)For example: - Tier 2 Void Miner / Four Tier 2 Frequency Modifiers / No Lens = 5.61% chance for Gold Ore at 180 Duration (one operation per 9 seconds) - Tier 2 Void Miner / Four Tier 2 Frequency Modifiers / Yellow Lens = 32.22% chance for Gold Ore at 180 Duration - Tier 2 Void Miner / Four Tier 2 Amplification Modifiers / Yellow Lens = 38.24% chance for Gold Ore at 320 Duration (one operation per 16 seconds)

Dimensional

Allows Void Miner to gain any drop in the current dimension and requires two Tier 5 structure frames to craft. Interdimensional Modifier allows Void Miner to gain any drops from any dimension. 

Piezo

Allows solars to gen in rain/thunderstorms from vibrations.

Electrostatic

Allows Lightning rods to gen passively in rain and thunder.

Radian

Allows lightning rod to gen passively in sunny weather.

Note: Modifiers also have tiers based on crystal tiers respectively

Flash Memory

Creating a Flash Memory Card for Void Miner is vital for Void Miner resource generation. The Flash Memory tells Void Miner from which loot table you want to generate resources from.

  • Craft a Flash Memory and a Memory Programmer
  • Give the Memory Programmer power and place the Flash Memory in the top right box
  • Select the Miner Program you want to run, taking note of the link below

Void Miner needs to generate Crystals from Environmental Tech to upgrade to the next tier. These Crystals are generated through the Multi-Miner section of the Memory Programmer using the Crystal Program.

Lens

Lenses are crafted with 5 glass in a + pattern in any crafting grid. You will need to also craft a Lens Grinder and supply it power to color your crafted Lens. Using lenses inside the Lens Holder on the Void Miner will increase the mine rate of certain items.

For example, if you used a Yellow Lens on a Metallic Flash Memory Program, your miner would produce more Gold Ore than it usually would without the lens. You can also increase that rate even further using Amplification Modifiers.

Crystal Lens

Crystal Lenses can be crafted by placing 3x3 of the same tier crystals in a crafting grid to create a Crystal Block. Use this Crystal Block in the Lens Grinder. Crystal Lenses are highly encouraged to be used. Crystal Lenses often double the chance of generating the crystal matching your Lens.
