[PO3] Lord Craft Simple Crystal oreDict entry?

I am trying to use a Mekanism Digital Miner to grab some of the Simple Crystal Cluster blocks from Lord Craft because I am running low on the base material, but it seems the block might not have an ore dictionary entry. I can't find any info online and the Mekanism dictionary item returns nothing in-game when used on the block.

Any idea on how to find the block's oreDict entry, or how to filter the digital miner to that block... or another way to mine them that isn't manual?

I can't make the rftools builder yet because of Land craft requirements, and I have mined out a ton manually and these things are kind of rare compared to most other things.

They don't have an oreDict entry. If you mine one with silk touch you can use it to configure the digital miner with the itemstack option. (You can use the digital miner to silk touch mine one by setting the area it mines in to contain a Crystal Cluster block and using stone in the material filter)

Why I never thought to stick the silktouched block into the itemstack is beyond me, I tried the crystal and it didn't work and then just focused on the oreDict.

Like I got silktouch on my fluxbore a couple days ago specifically to filter for the crystals when I got the digital miner and then forgot to try it.

Thanks

The digital miner has a silk touch mode that uses extra power, so you can use that if you want to fortune the ore later, just FYI.

Idk if it still works (I don't think so) but in 1.7 versions you could put items from NEI into the itemstack thing for the Digital Miner, without actually adding them to your inventory.

Did the digital Miner work for you on simple crystals? I couldn't get the crystals. Even if I used silk touch, I just got the raw stone, andesite, whatever.

It did work, I used silk touch on a resonant fluxbore which performed as expected and using the itemstack option with the silk touched simple crystal ore block allowed the digital miner to mine those blocks.

yeah, Silk touching a simple tinker's pick is the way to go, its just some string gold and a emerald, throw it on a pick, head to the twilight forest get one simple crystal deposit, set up the digital miner with item stack using the Simple Crystal deposit block as the filter. turn silk touch on in the digital miner, and you're good. doing it this way well let you replace the deposits then break them manual using a fortune pick so you get back a bunch more crystals
