Tekkit includes several machines which will dig holes in the ground or move liquid automatically, allowing you to do other things while they work.
Note that automated mining machines are slow, unselective and power hungry compared to mining by hand.

Quarry[]
Pump (Buildcraft)[]
A Pump will move liquids such as Oil, Lava and Water through a pipe. The pipe must be "waterproofed" by adding Pipe Waterproof to it first. Buildcraft Pumps can be powered by Redstone Engines, making this an easily automated way to move liquids around. |
Miner (Industrial Craft 2)[]
A Miner will dig straight down similar to the Mining Well, but it can also be upgraded to seek out nearby ores using an OD Scanner or OV Scanner. A miner is about 10 times more costly per ore block extracted than mining by hand. |
