Community Quarry

The Community Quarry is located near (-2600,-1675) and provides cobblestone, gravel, sand, andesite, tuff, clay balls, plain terracotta, and red sand. The Community Quarry will also receive flint for users that have excess and want to dispose of it. Flint will be used in the andesite process and speeds that process up.

The quarry can provide up to 1620 stacks (103,680) of each item, and can receive up to 1620 stacks of flint. The Quarry Inspection station is mandatory to stop at in order to load the factory, all other stops are optional. Station order is:

• Quarry Inspection (wait 15s so power plant has time to get to full power before proceeding to next stop)
• Quarry Flint Unload
• Quarry Cobble Load
• Quarry Gravel Load
• Quarry Sand Load
• Quarry Andesite Load
• Quarry Tuff Load
• Quarry Clay Load
• Quarry Terracotta Load
• Quarry Red Sand Load

It takes about 6 minutes to load 1620 stacks, or about 4.5 stacks per second. Each loading/unloading stop should have a timeout of y = number of stacks being requested divided by 4 seconds or y = number of stacks being requested divided by 240 minutes. (proceed after loading x stacks or y seconds/minutes).

The quarry maintains its own train to supply lava utilizing its own siding.

Times to fully replenish each buffer:

Cobblestone: 40min Gravel: 40min Sand: 40min Andesite: 2hr
Tuff: 1hr 20min
Clay: 2hr 40min
Terracotta: 10hr 40min
Red Sand: 10hr 40min

From cold start, it takes approximately 29 hours to fill all buffers. If users are taking large quantities of terracotta or red sand, they're asked to schedule their trains to run no more frequently than 1 minute per stack. For clay and andesite 1 minute per 6 stacks. For everything else 1 minute per 10 stacks.
