The destroyer block is a gantry component that breaks blocks in the area below. It is a multiblock
that operates on a [machine frame](@oritech:machine_frame_block) and targets the block layer directly below the frame.

The time and energy required to break a block depend on the block's hardness.

### Farming

To enable farming use, install the [crop filter addon](@oritech:crop_filter_addon). This causes the block destroyer
to skip all non-finished crops, allowing for automated harvesting.

### Quarry

By adding [quarry addons](@oritech:quarry_addon), the block destroyer can also function as a quarry.
Each quarry addon multiplies the downward range by 8:

*   **1 Addon**: 8 blocks range
*   **2 Addons**: 64 blocks range
*   **3 Addons**: 512 blocks range

The default speed is fairly slow when used as a quarry, so adding some
[speed](@oritech:machine_speed_addon) and [efficiency](@oritech:machine_efficiency_addon) addons is recommended.
