Programs, Crystals and Mica
Void Miner Programs
ToTo get started mining things using your void miner you'll need to make yourself a Memory Programmer. ThisClick machineHere isfor usedmore in-depth information about how to programuse the variousMemory voidProgrammer.
Once youryou have a programmed Flash Memory has a program loaded onto it you can then open up the GUI of the Void Miner and place it in the slot.slot in the middle as showing in the picture. Assuming you have the structure build correctly the Void Miner will then show a duration and Tick Cost in the GUI.
The Duration is how long it will take the miner, provided that it has the tick cost worth of energy supplied, to mine an item. The Tick Cost is the energy required per tick to allow the miner to mine at the maximum speed that is currently possible with all modifiers included.
Crystals
One of the first things you are probably going to want to mine is more Crystals. This happens to also be the way to obtain the next tier of crystal. To mine Erodium crystal you will need a tier 1 mine or above. Each tier crystal is obtained by the previous tier miner. The only crystals that have different requirements for mining are Nanorite and Xerothium crystals which, in addition to the previous tier miner, you'll need to have that miner in the End dimension.
Mica
You can obtain mica using the Resource Miner(Multi Miners->Resource Miner) or the Rocky Resource Miner(Resource Miners->Rocky Resource) programs. Mica does not have a lens focus which means there is no lens type that will improve its mining rates. The best way to obtain it is using the Rocky Resource Miner program.
