Digger Turret

Description
Ever get bored of mining for hours?
This is a mod to make digging a bit more fun, especially at the later stages of the game after you have mined for ages. Create these digging tools at the wire station.

Digmachine - will fire lasers directly at the ground below the turret creating a great mineshaft. Jump to the bottom after letting this guy run for a while to collect your loot. Be careful not to fall in unless you have a way to prevent fall damage.

Advanced Digmachine - will fire lasers in a sweeping motion clearing away most of the earth beneath it.

Background Digmachine - This machine is the same in every way to the Advanced Digmachine except it will also dig the background.

Bulldozer - This machine is great for flattening out those pesky hills that get in the way when you are trying to build your base. It will shoot in an 180 degree arc facing upward instead of down like the other digmachines. It's range is also shorter.

Tunneler - This machine will dig you a perfectly straight tunnel. Just point it to where you want to go!

Eraser - This machine works like the standard Digmachine except it also digs the background.

Digger Mech - ride on in your own digger mech. Primary fire shoots digging lasers instead of bullets. Alternate fire digs directly below the mech as if firing out of both legs. The size of the hole will exactly fit your mech. The digger mech runs on Fuel, but you'll have to fuel up at the fuel station. Just walk near the fuel station to fill it up. If you need a little boost to get out of the hole you just dug, the digger mech can now jet upward with the use of the space bar.

Fuel Station - pull up your mech, or plop down your turret next to the fuel station to fill up on energy. The Fuel Station will generate energy from normal fuel, just like a turret. It will distribute the fuel to turrets and mechs when they are close enough. Don't move the Fuel Station once it has been placed or it will lose it's stored fuel. It drops the equivalent amount of coal.

I mean the mod works fine its just the fuel stuff is a bit jank because it's old. If it mined your house away it's because you placed a mining turret facing your house :D

Fuel station doesn't appear to work anymore. And the turrets are very funky whether they work or not. Could you make them wired so they can be turned on or off automatically please? And add some admin ones that don't need fuel :D

Just here to let y'all know that yes, this is compatible with the latest Starbound update, and yes, this can indeed be found in the Wiring Station. You need only look for it.

Drop some coal on the ground near it, to give it some energy. Then hit the 'e' key.
