How do you use ore excavation in Sky Factory 4?

Answered by John Hunt

To use the Ore Excavation mod in Sky Factory 4, you first need to unlock it. This can be done by right-clicking on the diamond pickaxe icon in the mod progression graph. The icon will be displayed as either a white circle or a blue circle. If it is a white circle, it means you have not unlocked the mod yet, and if it is a blue circle, it means you have already unlocked it.

Unlocking the Ore Excavation mod requires 1 prestige point. Prestige points are earned by completing various achievements in the game. Once you have enough prestige points, you can spend them to unlock the mod.

One of the great things about the Ore Excavation mod is that it has no prerequisites. This means you don’t need to unlock any other mods or meet any specific requirements before being able to use it. As long as you have the required prestige point, you can unlock it right away.

Once you have unlocked the Ore Excavation mod, you can start using it in your gameplay. This mod allows you to mine large amounts of ore and blocks with a single mining action. It saves you a lot of time and effort, especially when you’re mining for resources in the game.

To activate the Ore Excavation mod, you need to have a tool in your hand. This tool can be a pickaxe, shovel, or any other tool that is capable of mining blocks. Simply hold the tool in your hand and start mining a block by left-clicking on it. The mod will automatically detect the block you’re mining and excavate all connected blocks of the same type.

For example, if you’re mining a vein of coal ore, the Ore Excavation mod will mine all the coal ore blocks connected to the one you’re targeting. This saves you from having to individually mine each block, making the process much faster and more efficient.

The mod also has various customization options that you can access through the in-game configuration menu. You can set the maximum number of blocks that can be excavated at once, as well as specify which blocks should be excluded from excavation. This allows you to tailor the mod to your specific needs and preferences.

In my personal experience, the Ore Excavation mod has been a game-changer in Sky Factory 4. It has significantly sped up my mining and resource gathering process, allowing me to progress through the game much faster. I no longer have to spend hours digging through blocks one by one, which can be quite tedious and time-consuming.

Furthermore, the mod has also helped me conserve the durability of my tools. Since I’m excavating multiple blocks at once, I’m able to mine more resources with fewer tool uses. This has saved me from constantly having to repair or craft new tools, which can be quite resource-intensive.

The Ore Excavation mod is a valuable tool in Sky Factory 4 that enhances the gameplay experience. It simplifies and accelerates the mining process, allowing players to focus on other aspects of the game such as building and crafting. I highly recommend unlocking and using this mod to maximize your efficiency and enjoyment in Sky Factory 4.
