Ive been slowly looking through code to try and learn myself, however i am wondering if someone has already created or will be creating soon, a program that will mine a defined diameter and when the mining turtles internal storage gets full, returns to the starting point, deposits items into an adjacent chest if one exists then carries on from where it left off, and if there isnt storage, then it waits until its internal storage has been completely emptied?

To be able to deposit you will need additional mods, and to setup the code to work with those devices. Buildcraft/Redpower or something along those lines.

Well, yes, it does exist:

Now all I have to do is work through my head get it working, I look at the instructions on the sit but i don't entirely understand them >.> More caffeine and thinking required >.>
