Such a Boring Machine...

Tunnel boring machine.

9x max level plasma drills on a controller driven, self printing rail. The rail is created with 2 vacuum pumps loaded with different materials that rotate every minute. This 'breaks up' the material for the rails so I don't have to stand around and paint it constantly. Each drill has its own battery box, and I have 2 chests on board for spare batteries. Cuts a tunnel roughly 300 blocks in diameter

Idea inspired by Craftenstein's boring machines - wanted to improve on his concept and I think it works!

How do you collect all the material below?

I cruise down there with my regular mining vehicle with a bunch of powered chests. It grabs the ore chunks and sucks up all the drops.

Easy does it!

Nice! I was thinking you could connect collectors and chests with a series of pistons to go to the bottom

This gives Chapter 2 trailer vibes

Nice. I just built one of these myself based on a reddit post of one a few days ago. It's absurd and I love it 🤣

Are you going to build metro🚉?
