Description
The Recurso SquareDig autominer is a structure that when built will mine a vertical 2x2 shaft until it hits bedrock. The autominer can be connected with a chute system, and is controllable by a logic network. Note that the autominer outputs more ore than than a conventional Mining Drill over the same area.

Operation
The unit is a platform with no power source and it is simply going to dump it's output. You will likely need a few completed frames, a power generator, wire to connect it and something like a hole to catch the ore.
When the head was requested up by the button the miner will flash an error upon head arrival, that's normal[1]. After reactivating the mining will proceeded as a fresh start — with grinding all the volume of now non-existent ground. If you need to pause the miner use the on-off switch or on logic variable.
When the head is returning automatically to dump the ore, it then goes back down the fastest route.
Notes
Ices mined this way will melt if the atmosphere around the miner is warm. Volatiles will catch fire on Mars during the day but won't on Europa because of the temperature difference. It would be best to redirect the miner's output with chutes to an enclosed space with negative temperature or zero pressure. Alternatively an SDB Silo or Loader with stockpile of belts can be used.
The mining head does not damage entities on its way, however a player can still be hurt if gets pressed by the head against a wall. The mining head does not pickup loose ore pieces if you throw some.
Player's graphic settings may prevent them from seeing the mining head deep enough even looking up close.
The lowest depth limit is Y=2 as the tracker's GPS shows.
Data Parameters
These are all parameters that can be written with a Logic Writer, Batch Writer, or Integrated Circuit (IC10), and can be read with a Logic Reader, Batch Reader, or Integrated Circuit (IC10).

Error logic
| On | Error | Activate | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 0 | Autominer was just built and switched on. It'll never reach such state again. |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | normal operation |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | head was returned sucessfuly either by button or by depth limit reached |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | head stuck at an obstacle |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | miner is off, head is hanging half way, will proceed normally when turned on |
- ↑ Basically the rule is that whenever the head is docked then Error state will be set. The only exception is the freshly built Autominer that was never ran.
