This is very real and has been an issue for years. I remember when I was younger, watching public TV, and I saw a news report about an elderly lady who was forced to sell her home along with the rest of her village so that they could dig up the entire area for coal. At the time it was a big deal, because she took so long to agree, which got media attention. It was incredibly depressing. It felt dystopian.
It is an engineering marvel, indeed, as it is the biggest mobile machine of the world.
Bagger 288 (and its sibling, Bagger 293) are probably the biggest machines which move freely on soil. They're about 225 m long, 96 meters tall and weigh 14 200 tons.
In the length category, the F60 overburden conveyor bridge (which moves on rails) is (was?) several times bigger, at 502 m length. It weighed less, however, at 13,600 tons.
Alternatively, build a flying machine with TNT duplicators

Like Docm's world eater from HermitCraft season 9.
every rational part of my brain fighting the 7 year old me inside me who knows Bagger 288 is the coolest thing ever
I love how I know the name Bagger 288 because of a 16 year old meme
