On the farming point, we're planning to add some kind of agriculture tech to Mekanism in the near future, but in the meantime it is actually possible to control the DigiMiner to achieve tree farming using ComputerCraft. It's not the best solution, but it's something.

Yup realised that an hour or so ago after actually looking at it properly. And it's now doing exactly what I want
I was gonna say the exact same thing, regarding CC. Just set it up to where the computer detects when the digiminer's out of things to mine, make it wait...20 seconds or so, and send a command to the digiminer to reset and restart it.
It didn't keep itself loaded. Last time I tried loading only the digiminer I got crashes because it was trying to mine in onloaded chunks. I can't remember what the solution was. I believe it was @KirinDave who made the official github issue report.
Righto thanks. All the more reason to look forward to 1.7

I just coded this for Mekanism v8:
It's basically a cool looking way for you to visually see your Digital Miner's range. It updates whenever you change the values in it's configuration, too.
I've also added "Fuzzy Mode" to the ItemStack Filter, which when active forces the Digital Miner to ignore metadata values on that specific filter:
Finally, I implemented two feature requests that I saw pop up recently regarding filters; the first being a setting to force the Miner to not operate until it has a valid replace block, and the second being filter-specific replace blocks. I decided to just make the "require replace" setting be filter-based, too:
It will still pull the necessary replace block out of the connected top inventory. There are some balancing ideas up in the air for this release too, hopefully these additions will make up for them

Please have it chunk load
otherwise awesome stuffSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Okay i would like to see more than 2x diamond processing and some kind of electric chunk loader.
With a config option to disable power usage. Seriously keeping chunks loaded should be a given

I would like to see a piece of gear, something along the lines of 'engineer's tool belt', which is a pants-slot armor. I figure it could function much like the lappack in that it would keep your tools charged, It would also be cool if it had like five or six inventory slots into which you could put various tools and you could switch back and forth between them with a hotkey so you don't have to keep digging through your backpacks for them. Kind of like the Dartcraft Belt... only actually worn.
Bat Belt sounds awesome. Also as other people have talked about a the digital miner chunk loading, how about instead of automatically doing that you make a "Chunk Upgrade" That will make that machine Chunk load it's chunk. It will also give the machine a button you can press to turn off the chunk loading feature. I think this sounds more intuitive(it took me 20 minutes to remember this word).
Well the way I see it is it could make any of your machines chunkload, which I think would be a nifty idea, but that's just my 2 cents.
Well either way, at the moment we have 0 chunk loading so anything would be better then what we have now ^_^
