Area Breaker seems Completely Broken

[CaiB]

I've had nothing but trouble trying to use the ChromatiCraft Area Breaker. Some of the issues I've encountered:

• Removing the energy crystal without turning off the redstone signal will make it continue switching blocks without breaking them, and when the energy crystal is re-added it just starts breaking blocks further up from where it stopped.
• I placed torches at the bottom level inside its area after it moved on to higher levels. On the client it went back at some point and broke them all, but this didn't happen server-side.
• I set it to cube mode with the max size of 16, and it started out working OK, then after a few layers it started shrinking the area, contrary to the shape the white lines show.
• It just stopped after a while and refuses to continue. The energy crystal has at least 90k of every colour left, yet it refuses to continue even after being re-placed.
• When it encounters gravel that falls, this doesn't properly sync to the client either, creating floating gravel blocks until you relog.

Here's the state it's in now:

Not sure why I wasted my time with it over just using a quarry...

I had issues with it too.
