Hollow Hill + Chunk Loader + Mining Turtle = ?

[Dragonchampion]

So I have a mining turtle that just went to work on an excavate 100 mission, with a stack of lava cells as fuel (I hope that's enough?] to work on an entire hollow hill. I am using a Chunk Loader to encompass the entire hill, and was wondering if this safely makes sure that there will be no chunk resets? Sure, it's just a turtle and a chunk reloader, but... I still want to know if it's safe to use instead of a quarry.


EDIT: A turtle, when using the excavate program, will automatically stop what it's doing when it's full and return and stick everything in the chest, right...?

As long as the server doesn't restart, you should be fine.

Yes.

Thanks, NightKev!

if you place a turtle in front of a chest, and then you do excavate, it will drop the stuff.

You can actually combine the chunkloader with the turtle aswell, FYI.

You can, but a turtle can only have 2 attachments, so if you add a pick for mining, you have to choose between loading, remote controls, mining laser, or a load of other different things.

Remote controls are not an issue since the chunk loader module also works as a wireless modem. Unfortunately i have not managed to get the Chunk Loader module to run, my turtle still unloads when i change dimensions (my chunkLoaderRadius is set to 1x1).
