[Suggestion] Machine Drill and Electric Buckets!

    So, I mine. Like tons. And what really gets repetitive is bringing all that ore all the back to my factory, which is at least 200 blocks, since I already mined everywhere else, but that's not the point, the point is, it gets annoying. But you're here for the suggestion, so here it is.


    Machine Drills. :Macerator: + :Diamond Drill: = ???


    So what if you could Macerate and Mine at the same time, in one place?
    It would be pretty convenient, at the least.
    But this would of course require a tool, so here's my idea,


    :Glass Fibre: :Diamond Drill: :Glass Fibre:


    :Macerator: :Advanced Circuit: :Macerator:


    :Rubber: :Energy Crystal: :Rubber:



    Not too bad, considering it's incredible abilities.
    But some may argue, it's TOO cheap, well it would of course requires the equivalent or drilling and macerating, plus 50%, which is definitely a fair trade off.


    Secondly, a recycling drill. It may sound stupid at first, but think about it, you collect hundreds of cobble and dirt, which you end up recycling anyway, so why not do it automatically? It would have a gui ( which would be accessed by crouching and right-clicking ) and in this gui, you would be able to select the items to recycle and store the scrap right inside it.


    :Glass Fibre: :diamond Drill: :Glass Fibre:


    :Recycler: :Advanced Circuit: :personal Safe:


    :Rubber: :Energy Crystal: :Rubber:



    It would have similar properties to the macerating drill, with the safe being for scrap storage.


    Finally, the almighty Induction Drill!


    One could assume what this does.


    :Glass Fibre: :diamond Drill: :Glass Fibre:


    :Induction Furnace: :Advanced Circuit: :Intergrated Heat Dispenser:


    :Rubber: :Energy Crystal: :Rubber:



    Basically, it takes in all smeltables, ( cobble can be toggled ) and well... smelts them.


    But really, who wants to carry around three drills?


    Therefore, this!


    THE PAXEL OF DRILLS!


    Industrial Diamond = Lapatron Crystal


    Three Drills in Middle = Machine Drills


    :Iridium: :diamond Drill: :Iridium:


    :diamond Drill: :diamond Drill: :diamond Drill:


    :Advanced Machine: :Industrial Diamond: :Advanced Machine:




    5 Times the power, all three abilities, Incredible Speed, and Awesome. Pure Awesome. HAYO!




    But who cares about drills. I know I don't.


    So for us anti - drill industrialers,


    The Compression Bucket!


    Scoop up some water, BAM! Ice. Lava? No problem, Obsidian!


    Here it is,


    Refined Iron = Bucket


    :?: :?: :?:


    :Electronic Circuit: :Refined Iron: :Electronic Circuit:


    :Coolant Cell: :Compressor: :Coolant Cell:



    I know, pretty intense, and it only uses 50 eu a pop! This would be a great source of ice for reactors, and obsidian for those nuclear bunkers.


    Tell me what you guys think.

    Actually why should I even want to macerate the ores underground? This way I have to carry even more stuff around since 1 stack ores = 2 stacks dust/ingots.


    If you don't want to carry ore around you have some options, mostly outside IC.


    1. Build most processing-units underground.
    2. Use the Enderchest + BC or use BC + Additional Pipes. So you can just pop down a Enderchest or a Obsidan-Pipe + Teleport-Pipe to transport things to your base. With additional pipes you could also place a chunkloader in your surface-base so that the enderchest is pulled empty.
    3. EqEx has some bags.
