Shortest working simple code for me is that.

I modified this to use both a left and right hand path, and then after 100 steps each done will spawn a drone of it's opposing direction. Helps it to feel more efficient.

def createLab(): # taken directly from in game advice
	if get_ground_type() != Grounds.Grassland:
		till()
	plant(Entities.Bush)
	substance = get_world_size() * 2**(num_unlocked(Unlocks.Mazes) - 1)
	use_item(Items.Weird_Substance, substance)

def findLeftTreasure(): # This code will work like our drone have left hand on the wall while trying to find treasure
	rightOf={North:East, East:South, South:West, West:North}
	leftOf={North:West, West:South, South:East, East:North}
	dir=North
	cnt = 0
	while True:
		cnt = cnt+1
		if cnt == 100:
			spawn_drone(findRightTreasure)
		if can_move(dir):
			move(dir)
			dir=leftOf[dir]
		else:
			dir=rightOf[dir]
		if get_entity_type()==Entities.Treasure:
			harvest()
			return 1
		if can_move(East) and can_move(West) and can_move(North) and can_move(South):
			return 1

def findRightTreasure(): # This code will work like our drone have left hand on the wall while trying to find treasure
	rightOf={North:West, West:South, South:East, East:North}
	leftOf={North:East, East:South, South:West, West:North}
	dir=South
	cnt = 0
	while True:
		cnt = cnt+1
		if cnt == 100:
			spawn_drone(findLeftTreasure)

I found the above scripts may held the drone and oscillated between two squares.
Instead, I am using DFS to solve the puzzle. It's generally faster than the above implementation, and guaranteed to solve the maze.

Size and location (origin) can be specified. Therefore it is handy for multi-drone farming for higher throughput.
16 * 8x8 mazes / 25 * 6x6 mazes are effective.

def treasure(origin, sz=0):
    def create_maze(origin, sz=0):
        movement.to(origin)  # Move the Drone to the center first
        # Following is taken directly from in game advice
        if sz == 0:
            sz = get_world_size()
        if get_ground_type() != Grounds.Grassland:
            till()
        plant(Entities.Bush)
        substance = sz * 2 ** (num_unlocked(Unlocks.Mazes) - 1)
        use_item(Items.Weird_Substance, substance)

    def dfs(last_dir):   
        # Defining the reverse direction. Used to determine where the drone comes from.
        reverse = {
            North: South, South: North, East: West, West: East, 
            None: None, # None is added to handle the first move
        }
        if get_entity_type() == Entities.Treasure:
            harvest()
            return True # Notify the callers to stop

        # Consider each direction as a branch.
        for dir in (North, East, South, West):
            # Skipping the Reverse of the Last Action, which is the previous space.
            # Also Skipping directions with wall.
            if dir == reverse[last_dir] or not can_move(dir):
                continue
            move(dir)           # Step into the next direction.
            found = dfs(dir)    # See if we can find the treasure from the next direction + the following moves.
            if found:
                return True     # Notify the callers to stop
            move(reverse[dir])  # Not found... Step back and try another direction.
        return False            # All Directions are not found. The caller shall not stop.

    create_maze(origin, sz)
    dfs(None)

# Example: Create a 8x8 maze, centered at (4,4) and solve it.
tresaure((4,4), 8)

If you don't have the implementation of movement.to(origin), which moves the drone to a specific place:

def to(pos):
	x,y = pos
	dx,dy = get_pos_x()-x, get_pos_y()-y
	if dx != 0:
		dir = East
		if dx > 0:
			dir = West
		for _ in range(abs(dx)):
			move(dir)
	if dy != 0:
		dir = North
		if dy > 0:
			dir = South
		for _ in range(abs(dy)):
			move(dir)
