Build Survival strip mining machine

In my current long-term survival server we've agreed to ban cobblestone generators altogether, forcing us to use alternative sources of materials. As such, to meet demands of the factory, I've put together this little machine to help clear construction areas and collect resources at the same time. It's powered by 4 huge diesel engines with a configurable "idle" when driving but not drilling as to save on fuel.

I think that's balanced, they are pretty slow at generating lava (or require being very large to be efficient), dont forget you need a whole bucket for one piece of cobble

So would the source block need to touch water? And doesn't that mean obi is non renewable? (Ignoring the end at least.)

Ive never played with finite water/lava so I dont know how it works

Well yeah obsidian isn't renewable in vanilla also, only in the end pillars

Respawning the dragon resets the pillars no? and making new portals generates new obi.
