Module Requirements

• tractor_beam
• inventory_controller
• movescript library 4c2AN8Jw
• A lumber axe of obscenely high durability, or unbreakable.

Instructions

First, install movescript to /lib/movescript.lua.

Then, download this script, and edit the downloaded file to set some constants.

• ROWS: The number of rows in the farm.
• COLS: The number of columns in the farm.
• TREE_SPACING: The number of blocks between trees.
• DELAY: The time, in tens of seconds, to wait between chopping and picking up items.
• move_to_start: A movescript describing how to get from the robot's base station to the first tree.
• return_from_start: A movescript describing how to get back to the robot's base station from the first tree. Should usually be the opposite of move_to_start.

Make sure you have a very powerful lumber axe, or one which is unbreakable, and give it to the robot.

Farm Setup

The construction of the farm should be as follows:

  R-1   R-2   R-3
| [T] | [T] | [T] | Column 1
| [T] | [T] | [T] | Column 2
| [T] | [T] | [T] | Column 3
| [T] | [T] | [T] | Column 4
   X

Where [T] denotes a 2x2 tree, X denotes the starting location for the robot.

Each tree should be separated from those adjacent to it by TREE_SPACING blocks.
