How about moving the excavator to the barge to get a floating dredge?

Cool idea!
Looks a bit jank though :p

How did you implement this under the hood? Just moving the entity and waking it up or something?

thanks :)
under the hood it's the same junk as it's looks ;) I used the same trick as in my Battleship mod 7- take two entities and put one on top of the other ;)
In short, it's teleporting your original excavator and keeping it active. Additionally, the barge provides power and collects the output.
For now, I'm working on automatically moving the barge along the planned channel...
