About this Mod
This mode adds few practical machines that help you to dig long underground tunnels.
Every mychine is in-game programmable with very simple language that consists only of numbers.
For exmaple: 5;1;5;2;10;3;12;5;2
Explanation: MOVE 5, turn left, MOVE 5, turn right, MOVE 10, go down, MOVE 12, continue forward, MOVE 2
First and last position must be MOVE call.
Every second position is direction change, 1 stands for LEFT, 2 stands for RIGHT, 3 stands for DOWN, 4 stands for UP and 5 is CONTINUE FORWARD.
In between calls place ";" symbol.
You can create seemingly endless routes with this, but make sure to have enough resources.
When you are done with designing your custom route sign it with name "route.code".
You can now RMB it on every machine in this mod before starting it.
