    I think we should have the computercraft turtles reactivated....it makes alot more fun and it is like a portable computer....maybe raise the crafting cost or only allowed to buy it at the spawn market....if people are worried about griefing then make it so that each turtles is id'ed with the placers and users name......i would do anything to see the turrtles on the server!!!!:)

    Thank you for your time

    There has already been more then enough discussion about CC turtles, and whether they should be enabled or not. This is un-needed because there already is quite a number of threads about CC turtles and none of it is going to coax sk into making a faster decision.

    With the mining turtles maybe you can disable it breaking cobble and stone so if they were added we can use them for other stuff then mining.

    1. they are cheap to get
    2. they use server CPU to execute the code
    3. potential for people to use in large numbers to quarry thus increasing the lag

    i could go on........

    I 100% agree with what ewized said. Just because what i want to do, doesn't involve them breaking stone or cobble.

    while yes true; the quarry would be better and there is no harm in them breaking stone or cobble

    you can give a limit to the # of turtles you have....( like what there about to do to the world anchors )

    and make so you only buy them like cc computers

    why do we need the mining turtle...there are 35 other turtles.....such as energy turtle and so on

    You can have a specific # of turtles per person, but it's ill-advised because it would limit all the other things people could with other turtles. Making it so you can only buy turtles is a waste, especially since you need computers to craft them anyways, so you'd already be using 7(?) diamonds(i can't remember) to buy the computer in the first place. And again, I think it would be a good idea to limit turtles breaking cobble or smooth stone, just to deter the fact that you can't quarry with them. I say this because I have plans for mining turtles, and would be saddened greatly if they were the only turtle that was disabled.

    Seriously don't make sk have to add all of the turtles. He hates doing things like this.
    For said turtle is the only truly useful one.
    Lasers are expensive to power, not very accurate and are not completely controllable. (They are not constrained to mining the specific block specified.

    He only needs to add the basic turtle, then we can craft them all ;D
    That is like saying that the news broadcasts we see on T.V is the only media outlet we have, which is utter bull.
    I honestly have no idea why people always thing of lasers when i mention I've got a mining machine with doesn't use quarries, or that I've got an plan for using MINING TURTLES. But it's getting on my nerves, but hsun is right: they are shit xD

    you shouldn't use them where they can crash into cobble or stone ... that's the whole point. No mining with mining turtles. lolz

    The reason to use turtle to destroy blocks like quarry are that they break blocks as a player would so it follows the code if the mods were coded like that. As block breakers just break the block then bugging out the quarry's.
