Dozer Blade
I would like to suggest a dozer blade as a low tier piece of mining equipment/terrain smoothing.
The dozer blade would mine out anything in front of it (maybe some above too?), but produce a smooth surface below it (parallel to the blade) to permit the construction of roads etc built on the terrain rather than having to build blocks on it.
The dozer blade would output resources as per the drill.
The dozer blade could potentially also have the ability to angle, which would permit slopes to be created on these new roads.
This block could be used as a lower tech alternative to the drill, whilst also staying relevant later because of its ability to "smooth" terrain out. This would also help with making mining cars as with drills they usually end up stuck in a hole in the ground.
I like this feedback
