A script for the programmable computer that will dig/build stairs for you. The shape of the stairs are stored as arrays in the script. Each array represents what the computer will have to do to build 1/4 of a revolution of the spiral staircase.
With some work you can add your own stair shapes. Only your imagination is the limit
The script will NOT save it's state on a save/load since it uses variables to store it's state, and I don't know how to save them.
Configuration
MineNearOre: Change if the computer should mine blocks outside of it's programmed path when it finds them. 0 = No, 1 = All none BlackRock block, 2 = Usefull minerals, +4 = Also 'follow' the ore. (it will walk back the same way and continoue it's build where it left off)
MaxMineFollow: How far it will walk of while mining ore.
RefillOre: If it should fill those empty slots created from mining ore outside the programmed path. 0=No, 1=Only Floor, 2=All.
Rares: What blocs are considered useful ores.
VoxelOrder: The order it should use BlackRock blocks to refill holes with. Based on the order of which the block appear on the central blue plains.
Path: Defines the shapes of the stairs created. It's a table that contains arrays, where each array is one shape. (Example. One builds the floor of an stair up into empty space.) Here you can add your own shapes.
PathNo: What variant to use from the Path table. Here you specify the index of the array in the path table.
When you want to start building the stairs you place the computer at the bottom one off the corners of what will be the central pillar of the spiral stair. If you need to restart/continue building a stair you can place the computer at the bottom of any corner of the central pillar and it will automatically calculate what rotation to start from based on the level (GetY) it is placed on.
Example of a 3 wide 7x7 spiral staircase seen from above where X represent the different possible starting locations.
