Yeah, my collecting area is about 28 blocks away from the first spawn floor. The area is a 24 block bubble that won't spawn creatures from the player. I have a ladder system going all the way to the top of the tower, and when the harvester isn't working, I don't hear anything in there. I crack open a hole or two, and nothing has spawned. Its intermittent.
As for my plans for a 144x144 harvester, uh, going to hold off on that. I didn't do the math on blocks needed to mine out....about 165,000 blocks just for the spawn floor and collecting area...unless its a group project. =)
