Video description

In this episode of my 'Turtle Programs' series I present you a program which builds rectangular platforms of any size for you. I explain how to use the turtle program tPlatform and show you several possible applications. This includes an example how to combine several program calls to build more complex buildings. Of course we also have some timelapse scenes (sorry for the bad quality of the first, the second is again nice ). You can download the program from pastebin. If you have problems using the program, leave me a comment and I'll try to help. Hope it helps you in building whatever needs some platforms ;) Update 2015-03-21: Tied up the code a little bit. Update 2015-03-28: Selects slot 1 at start, thx Robinn57. Update 2016-02-28: Now the turtle will tell you if you need to (manually) refuel it Links: program build_MobFarm: http://pastebin.com/fbyxVzSX video with the direwolf20 9x9 program: video where I use this program: not so far, but there will be one About the mods: I'm using FTB modpack Direwolf20 1.5 (v1.1.2) with CameraStudio (v2.8.5).

What it does

This program allows a ComputerCraft turtle to build rectangular platforms of any size. It can be combined with multiple program calls to create more complex structures, such as buildings.

Setup

You'll need a fueled turtle with building blocks in its inventory. Download the program from Pastebin (as mentioned in the video) and run it on your turtle. Note: The video references related programs like build_MobFarm (Pastebin: fbyxVzSX), but check the video for the exact tPlatform code.

Usage

Run the program by typing tPlatform followed by parameters for platform dimensions (e.g., length, width). The turtle will build the platform automatically. Refer to the video for detailed examples, including combining calls for advanced builds. The program selects slot 1 at startup and notifies you if manual refueling is needed.

Tips

Use this for quick foundations in larger projects. Watch the timelapse scenes in the video for inspiration on applications like mob farms or 9x9 structures. If issues arise, leave a comment on the video for help.
