Ooh, just saw this. I wasn't aware that fillers could serve that role; I just heard the name and figured it'd be useful for filling in my old quarries - and not much else. That sounds pretty handy despite the lack of drops. Thanks again, you've been real helpful.

Oh, I think I just misunderstood how the landmarks are supposed to work. I was hoping to just have a quarry build the main hall of my base - I figured that if I defined the lower bound of the quarry as the lower bound of the hall, I can just leave it alone vs. baby-sitting it and shutting it off when it reaches the desired layer. I replaced the landmarks as you described and it works. Thanks. D'oh, figures I should've just researched a bit more. Still, it's odd that it started destroying blocks completely out of bounds of the markers.

Hello. I've started two quarries underground with five landmarks each - 4 to etch out the corners and another to add depth. They're about 64x32x39 each, starting at layer 44 or so. In *both* of them, the quarry accepted the landmarks fine and displayed the black and yellow outline like I wanted it to. Everything seems to be working perfectly, but when I check back later they've been mining from the surface down! I don't want huge, ugly holes in my landscape, so this has been kind of infuriating. They seem to be ignoring the bottom-most landmark for some reason. Adding more of them hasn't helped. Letting the quarry run without landmarks works just fine, however, but not in the pattern that I'd want. To clarify, they've been destroying blocks from the top down - it hasn't laid it's framework down yet. Help? Here's some unnecessary pictures of the second attempt. http://imgur.com/a/823M0
