So ive made the Quarry Plus from the workbench and inplaced it in open space and hooked it up to a combustion generator, but when it turns on and starts to drill in the ground the drill just goes through the ground and doesn't mine anything. please help, i dont know if im being stupid or if this is a bug.

Had the same issue on my server. We determined there was some interaction with the Minecolonies mod causing the quarry to not work properly. We moved the mine and it worked again.
