Topic: Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this program?
Body: I'm attempting to make a turtle program that digs out a 1 chunk plot, then placing blocks to make a path. That part worked, until I tried to make it so you could tell it how many chunks to mark out. If anyone could tell me what is wrong with the code, it would be much appreciated.

As far as I can see the error lies in the fact that your plots variable is a string (read() returns as a string)
So make that plots = tonumber(read()) and it will probably work

If you could tell us where it is giving unexpected behaviour, we can help alot more.
Or maybe I just dont quite understand your problem

~~What happens is that it digs out the block below it, then stops.~~

edit: It doesn't do anything after asking how many plots.

You never end your first function, but at the bottom. Now you have on function wich you never call. Add an end between line 12 and 13 and you should be fine.
