ComputerCraft Code – Sidekick’s Mining program

This is a post I’m long overdue putting up, but finally I decided to just get this code posted, nevermind worrying about a long drawn out explanation for it all.

I’ve moved online hosting of the script over to turtlescripts.com!

If you like, you can grab the code from the following pastebin link, for ease of turtle use: http://pastebin.com/FxPLrRJ8

  • slots 1-3 to be the “junk” items to not mine (smooth stone, dirt, gravel).

  • slot 16 with fuel

The turtle will still bring all the cobble and other material it digs out of each shaft, it just will not dig out all the walls.
