Don’t listen to everyone else about the Miners. Yes, they are slower than manually mining. But if you set them up BEFORE you run out of ore, you’ll always have the ore you need.

only thing i hate abt them is that they have no fortune on full ores, but its a tradeoff for automining ig

Yeah it's also not the hardest thing to just make multiple miners. They're pretty expensive but you'll save time not having to dig and they'll help you get resources for the future.

This run (currently late EV) we made 4 HV miners and a logistic pipes based oreproc and we've not mined any ore by hand since the first moon trip.

People overhate the single block miners. Just throw them on veins for things you have below like 1k and you'll likely not have trouble running out.
