Vein Mining Unit
"Allows for quick mining of ore deposits and rapid felling of trees."
The Vein Mining Unit is a Module that when installed in a Meka-Tool allows the tool to mine nearby blocks of the same kind when mining one. Veinmining blocks is the same speed as mining the block itself, and costs as much energy as if all veinmined blocks are mined with no efficiency.
Effect
When mining ores or logs, all connected blocks of the same kind is also mined. With the blasting upgrade, each blasted block will be veinmined as well.
Detailed Effect
When mining anything that is considered a log (#minecraft:logs) or an ore (#forge:ores) is mined, all attached blocks of the same kind is also mined, up to 128 extra (can be configured). This range is NOT affected by the number of installed modules or the Excavation Range setting on the tool.
- This means that when the Blasting Unit is also installed, you will be able to mine everything the blasting unit mines, then 128 more.
When extended mode is turned on, all blocks of the same type as one of the mined ones will be veinmined (instead of only logs and ores). In this mode, the Excavation Range setting on the tool is considered.
For calculating range, a block is in range if it's connected to any mined block, and not further than <range> blocks away in any direction.
For connectivity, a block can not be more than 1 block away from another block that connects to the center block or the center block itself in any direction. In short, if even only the edge or corner of two blocks are touching, they are still connected.
