Digtrons are robust machines that can be used to build or dig regular patterns. To build a digtron, you need an automatic control module. It must be powered while it works, either by fuel or by a HV electrical network.
Automatic Control Module
-This helps for controlling the digtron (note) this must be connected to the digtron for it to work.
-
Cycles - when triggered, this controller will try to run for the given number of cycles. the cycle count will decrement as it runs, so if it gets halted by a problem you can fix the problem and restart (note) the problems might be the area is protected, either it is in the air, either the digtron has run out of fuel, blocks to place.
-
Slope - for diagnal digging. After moving forward this number of nodes the auto controller will add an additional cycle moving the digtron laterally in the direction of the arrows on the side of this controller. Set to 0 for no lateral digging.
-
Offset - Sets the offset of lateral motion defined in the Slope field. (Note) this offset is relative to the
-controller's loaction. The controller will move laterally when it reaches the indicated point.
-
Delay - Number of seconds to wait between each
-cycles. (Note) due to the server rules the Delay must be 1 or higher because it lags the server.
