I have CCraft version 1.57 from FTB Direwolf pack. Crafting advanced turtle with diamond axe and then calling turtle.dig() on ender chest causes it to disappear forever. Does not fall as lootable item and does not go in turtles empty inventory.

Mining turtle works well though, and seems to be cutting trees at same speed too. So i should be using mining turtle in all farming projects?

I use 2 ender chests in my turtle inventory slots 15 and 16. Other is always full of charcoal, and other is for dumping off slots 1..14 in when nearly filled. So this system makes turtle to run independently forever in theory.

Have you ever tried to mine an ender chest with an axe before? the same thing will happen. The Felling Turtle will also do the same thing to materials such as stone.

Definitely use a Mining Turtle all the time, it can mine anything anyway, so you may as well just make it Mining just incase you want to use it later for a mining purpose.

A felling turtle costs the same as a mining turtle, you just arrange the diamonds differently in the crafting grid. As BIT said, why even make a felling turtle?

There's nothing mining turtle can't do that the felling can, I don't even know why Dan200 added them really.

Likewise. But just to ease up on slamming Zaflis, I like to use felling, melee, and farming turtles when they have a single, dedicated task, such as running my tree farm or keeping my mob grinders from overloading. They "look" better than a mining turtle for everything.

With other mods (TiCon for example here) the turtles do have a use. For example, a turtle cannot harvest a gravel ore unless it is a digging turtle, with a shovel.

Wow that's such a big difference between the Mining and Felling Turtles! ... that's what oeed was saying, that he didn't get why dan implemented the Felling Turtle!

About that - can a mining turtle harvest saplings directly by chopping up leaf blocks? I've not had much success with it.

not sure, can a pickaxe?

Basically, if a regular axe can't harvest, neither can a turtle axe - and that isn't going to change.
