I had this idea playing with my little bro. What if you could craft the turtles with TNT or ICBM explosives? Then they could be used to blow a hole in an enemy base or to set off an EMP inside the base. The idea came to me beacause we are both using CC, BC, RC, and ICBM and its almost impossible for either one of us to launch a nuke or EMP missile at to other due to anti-ballistics missiles, but turtles can get under the radar. And due to the fact they are explosives they would follow the same rules as TNT on servers so no griefing!

They don't need to do that; for ICBM, just use the raw explosives as if they were TNT and send the turtle out to deploy it.

There is still that delay. Long enough for the "problem" to be taken care of. I know because I tried. What I'm thinking is like a code.

turtle.Detonate() --instant explosion.

Of course to keep it from being overused it would be expensive to craft. Like a normal turtle, an Eye of Ender, and the explosive of you choice

No need for such function in the main mod. Ask some programmers to make such turtle upgrade for you.
But better become more creative in your efforts. For example drop tnt from best height or use dig.

[Spongy141]

function detonate()
  turtle.select(4) --Have TnT in the forth slot
  turtle.placeUp()
  rs.setOutput('top', true) --No need to add extra un-needed code to turn the signal off.
end

Place many explosives one is easy to take care of 10 or 20 is not.

do you know how expensive it is to make 10 or 20 EMP's? Lol, I think these guys helped. Looking at their suggestions my idea is not needed

You could also get the turtle to bury the payload, maybe even with some blocks of obsidian. If it's a nuke then everything else will be destroyed except for a cone starting from the obsidian and expanding to the sky.

You can pretty much do this with CC already. However, you have that waiting time. And you want that waiting time, otherwise your turtle will blown up. I dont think they are going to add this, however, Im not a developer. So do not quote me on that.

And personally I dont like the idea of instant TNT

[Cloudy]

Yeah, this isn't going to happen. If you want it to happen, code a peripheral or ask the mod author concerned to add it as a turtle option.
