Turtle Stops Working

[Feldweg]

I wrote a strip mining program.

But my turtle stops working everytime when it is deep (diamond high).

It has fuel and torches.

When it's not so deep its working perfectly.

Can someone help???

[Sir_Obama]

Can't help much if you don't post the code. My guess is an error in your programming.

[Feldweg]

Thats it. There isnt an error and on tin and copper niveau it works, just not on diamond niveau

[Sir_Obama]

That was absolutely no help at all.

That was absolutely no help at all.

My guess is you leave the area while it's mining and by the time it reaches diamond level you travel too far away from it. Computers (and turtles) shut down whenever the chunk is unloaded, and if you're more than 10 chunks away (or whatever the server admin set it to if you're playing online) the chunk will unload. CC doesn't have any persistence mechanism that I'm aware, so you have to write your own turtle mining program that'll store coordinates and detect if it had been previously stopped by a chunk unload.

EDIT: Maybe you can just make a startup file to run the mining program. I don't really use turtles for mining so I don't know how the built-in miner works.

how large is 1 chunk??

my turtle digs 116 blocks into the mountain

[Sir_Obama]

A chunk is 16x16.

[Feldweg]

would a dimensional anchor or a chunk loader help?

[Sir_Obama]

If you know which chunks your turtle is going to be in, then yes.
