tAPI [Suggestion] Hellevator Mining Machine

[Tachytaenius]

I am in a hurry, so I'll edit this later.

A mechanical pre-hardmode... hellstone? Machine which will mine all blocks beneath it, two wide. Walls excluded. You will have a pickaxe slot and a few chain/rope slots. The chains/ropes will be consumed and lower the inserted pickaxe, mining away. It would be turned on and off with a mechanic's switch.

Recipes etc coming soon.

I'm not a modder, but this sounds interesting. and a tad bit OP

I assume it mines at the given pickaxe's speed?

Of course. And modifier.

So...

Instead of having to just go and mine out... say, probably 100 full hellevators all the way across my large world, albeit with saturation (hunger mod), lots of glowing mushrooms to eat, well fed buff stuff and no mining potions (that will take ages. BTW, it's for the clentaminator) I can just spread lots of machines around my world! MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!
