I love the game so far and it has been a ton of fun.
I know there are some mods out there but they appear out date but I would love to see some more mining equipment. I think this would go well with the mine carts and tracks that I saw in the road map.
1. Hand Pan-Already have.
2. Hand Sluice-Small carry sluice that you an add a block of gravel to at a time or put a small hopper on for a couple blocks on at a time that feeds it.
3. Wash Plant-wind or water powered wash plant with a large hopper and collection to quickly process large amounts of gravels.
4. Rock saw-Something to cut out whole blocks instead of mining around them to get a solid block.
5. Stamp mill-water or wind powered stamp mill for crushing ore and rock easier and faster.
