📦 How it Works: Logistics & Layout

To get the most out of your Quarry, you need to understand its 3-axis logic:

1. The Brain (Center)

Quarry T1 (Basic): Your entry into automation. Sturdy but limited icons for upgrades.

Quarry T2 (Advanced): The powerhouse. Supports more upgrades and can extract the rarest materials in the world.

2. Input & Output (Top & Bottom)

📤 Resource Output (TOP): Place a chest or container above the Quarry. It will automatically push all mined items into it. No container? It just drops them on top!

📥 Fuel Input (BOTTOM): Automation starts here! Place a fuel container below the Quarry. It will automatically draw fuel as needed. (Pro tip: It also checks the top chest if the bottom is empty).

3. Upgrades (Sides)

Surround your Quarry with upgrades on any of the 6 sides (even Top/Bottom if they aren't used for chests!):

Speed Modifiers: These drastically reduce the mining delay.

Filters: Tell your Quarry exactly what to look for (Ore, Earth, or specialized rare ores).
