Using mostly turtles I built cleared out the ground work and built this tower. I used three programs to build this. I used TAMS to clear the sight it is a WPI so expect bugs and it lack's as instruction manual. for the walls I used Wall.lua for the Floors I used Floor.lua petty simple. wall is a very polished program floor is something i cobbled together on site and has bugs. I had to install electronics in the lift and most of the Iron but the bulk of the tower was made by turtles.

The doors are redpower Frames same as the lift. The lift is working fine but given the speed that frames move walking is faster.

Here are pictured from the build.

And so begins the era of the white collar turtle…

Very cool tower BigSHinyToys. Are you going to do much with this idea of turtles building their own buildings?

I'm playing around with the concept of working with turtles to construct / clear. TAMS is my first attempt at making a turtle remote instruction system. step one in making a higher AI run turtles and build structures this was a test more than any think and I have a few pages of notes to work from.

If I can get my PC to recored video somehow I will be using this a studio to shoot CC tutorials.
