With chunkloaders, it can get a bit silly. 8x8 area Y level 50 takes about 20 minutes, each turtle adds 8x8 to the area, with 20 you're talking about a 160x160 quarry. 1 Operation can then easily give you the resources to make 10 or more turtles, and it just exponentially grows. If you use RP gems for the turtles, then it gets silly, because the rest is just a couple iron, and some redstone and smoothstone. The OreQuarry program is very, very powerful, and it takes so little resources, that once you make your first mining turtle and run the program once, you can possibly get enough resources to make 2 or 3 more at least. Turtles can make the game a bit too easy, however. I still haven't figured out if it's more effective than a Steve's Cart farm, but i suspect that it may be. UWC is a beast, easily able to feed multiple fermenters full of saplings, give you more charcoal than you know what to do with, and still make you expand the build to include a way of voiding wood, because you get SO DARN MUCH.

Its attack is the strongest of all Turtles at 10 hit points (5 hearts) of damage per attack. If i was better at LUA, i'd integrate GPS functionality by using Rednet, then it would be solved for good, but the code is so darn big, i can't really make it any better ( Activities Check out what we have created in TurtleDiary App Color by Addition. The Melee Turtle is a ComputerCraft Turtle which specializes in fighting. The turtles often get lost when chunks get unloaded, server crashes, etc. The author released a version that uses a pathfinding program that stores every move the turtle made up until the point where the turtle's computer restarted for whatever reason, and resumes the operation from that point forward, but it's not perfect.

The only problem i've been having with the OreQuarry program, is lost turtles.
