A variable sized building program I created.
Buildings are made up of repeated 5x5 panels. User specifies the structure length/width in panels and how many storeys they want. Materials go in a row of chests just behind the turtle and are automatically used for restocking.

I'm quite new to Lua/Computercraft so any comments/criticism would be appreciated.
Enjoy!

This looks great!
Im running it atm on my ftb Server.

You might think about a resume ability, (when the Chunk gets unloaded or when no Player is online the Turtle just stops and wont finish its work)
And another idea I got for your nice programm is an upgrade funktion. For example I have build a 5x4x4 building and i want to upgrade it to 6x5x5, not sure how hard to implement this but might be a good idea :-)

Thanks for sharing your programm!

Great work! I can see this being really handy, particularly for moving bases or setting up a camp.

If you're looking for suggestions, then Queezle's right: a resume ability would be great. Maybe also experiment with different options for how the base looks.

Other than that, though, it's a cracking program. Well done.

The program isn't working right for me. I tried making a 5x3x3 building and I got a mess the turtle never went to the chests to refill it's materials.
