Upgrade Modules & Frame Casing
The crafting parts and tuning cards for the Quarry Controller. The modules are a cross-machine system — designed so other machines can use the same cards in the future.
Frame Casing
The structural material the quarry spends to build its frame ring — one casing per open-air perimeter cell (cells already backed by terrain are free). Casings are also placeable as frame blocks, so you can outline a mining area by hand instead of using landmarks; a frame block broken by a player drops its casing, and a finished dig returns its standing casings to the controller's frame slots.

Upgrade Modules
Slot module cards into a machine's module slots to change how it works. A machine counts the modules across its slots and sums their effects (you can stack several). The Quarry Controller has 1 module slot at Tier 1 (more at higher tiers).
| Module | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Speed Module | +50% to the work-cap per module | Lets the machine do more when fed more power; capped at ×8. |
| Efficiency Module | −15% energy cost per module | Floors at 25% of the base cost. |
| Fortune Module | Applies Fortune to mined blocks | Stacks up to Fortune III. |
| Silk Touch Module | Mines blocks with Silk Touch | Overrides Fortune when present. |
| Evaporator Module | Destroys liquids instead of buffering them | Keeps the quarry's fluid buffer empty — nothing to pipe away. Texture is placeholder art for now. |
Craft — every module shares one frame with a signature centre item:

R S R
N
N = Nerosteel Ingot · R = Redstone · S = signature:
| Module | Signature S |
|---|---|
| Speed | Sugar |
| Efficiency | Lapis Lazuli |
| Fortune | Diamond |
| Silk Touch | Amethyst Shard |
| Evaporator | Blaze Powder |
