Starter Base for Survival Update

Description
A small starter base which only needs a piston to be added, then it can mine out several 1000k stone and refine them. Once it has done one complete mining pass it has dug out 3/4th of a circle, then you can add one block of extension down and dig out another layer. The first layers (in dirt) yields around 200k stone for each layer, and takes a bit over 13 minutes. Once you go deeper to actual stone you get more (I think, testing seems to suggest that)

The base is also expandable, more wind turbines can be added and it can be hooked up to more stuff.

NOTE, don't forget to reverse the piston once it has finished one layer!

@MoonTruther No! It’s mine! They stole it from us! Mine! Precious! Precious!
Of course you can modify it:)

Is it alright if i edit the starter base for my own liking?

@MoonTruther If I remember correctly you can go two blocks down after each pass. I have made an automatic drill dig which does all the extending for you and just digs "forever", though that's a bit big as a starter base. Been thinking about making a small version of it for starter base, but haven't done so yet.

How far do i extend the piston once it makes its first couple of passes?

1 Single block would be needed to make it go reserve, but I would say 3 timer blocks
1: Reverse @ X time (if it takes 13 minutes, put it on 14minutes) and when it starts it starts 2 other timers 1 to Extend 2.5? Meters that starts with a stop for extend, you need to fiddle around to finsh a good timer for 2.5Meters, doesnt really matter if its long. so its minimal challenge to get it working, Getting a piston to extend down is a lot more :)

This is a great mod for starting out but it keeps crashing my game when i try and build it. maybe needs update idk, but its really nice. i manage to get the basic stuff built but when i try and build the wind turbines, it crashes. could you please look into it thanks
