I've updated that local function, it seemed clean enough afterwards and produced the same result.
local function sendRequest()
rednet.open("right") --Open rednet and clear the console
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
local digBlocks = false --Extra parameters: whether to dig blocks or attempt to go over
local goneUp = 0 --dir and goneUp are used to keep track of position
local dir = 0
function forward()
while not turtle.forward() do --If turtle cannot go forward (either out of fuel or block blocking)
print("Can't move, checking fuel")
if turtle.getFuelLevel() == 0 then
checkdig()
turtle.select(14) --This selects the ender chest connected to a fuel supply
turtle.place() --This places the ender chest
turtle.select(1) --This selects slot 1, where fuel would go
turtle.suck() --This pulls a stack out of the chest
turtle.refuel()
turtle.select(14)
turtle.dig()
end
if digBlocks then --If digBlocks var was true the turtle will dig thorugh the blockage otherwise will go over
turtle.dig()
else
turtle.up()
goneUp = goneUp + 1
end
end
while goneUp > 0 and not turtle.detectDown() do --Make sure to compensate for going up and over blocks by going down when next possible
turtle.down()
goneUp = goneUp - 1
end
end
function up() --Same as forward, for up
while not turtle.up() do
