FYI sheep can be sheared just by placing the shears in the inventory and using turtle.place().

[Hirsu]

Yes but then you'd have to replace the shears every so often, no? To me, the point of using misc peripherals in this setup is not having to worry about replacing shears in turtles (or having to refuel them, if combined with a charging station).

Is there a place like a wiki to get tutorials on things like the nuclear information reader and other stuff?

Hi,

I worked with computer controller crafters. You should write a peripheral where you can select what slot a turtle sucks. Otherwise a computer controlled crafter (CCC) is kind of pointless to me..

Hope you can make the turtle interact better with the CCC so it can pull items from diff slots.

I enjoy this mod

[PixelToast]

so i got bored and made this: http://pixeltoast.x64.me/cc/rhash
will reverse the "random" number returned by the CCC and sorter
works with all vanilla items
EDIT:
broke something in generating the blocks table
dosent work will wool :s
fixed.

There are a lot of people who have a hard time understanding Forth, but have no problems using lua. (myself partly included, the stack based, Assembler like way Forth is coded is very alien to me)

FORTH is a massive pain in the buttocks- I'd bet the only reason Elo chose it was because it's fast and was easy to port to the 65el02. I think it seriously de-values the awesomeness of Redpower Control, having it as the only built-in means of operating the computer.

Try Redpower BASIC (easily found with a quick Google search). It's leauges easier to use, and is much more like an actual operating system than an esoteric embedded system controller- indeed, it's a direct port of the operating system (Stickler's note: I'm not sure if MS-BASIC fits the actual definition of the term 'operating system', but I can't think of a better one) that was on more or less every home computer in the 80s. Eventualy I might actually get around to writing an actual operating system (that is, a program that allows the user to store, move, and execute programs and data) after I get my current backlog of projects done. Or maybe before, since writing this post has gotten me a little psyched up for it...

The reason i asked to begin with was that i was building a rather complex sorting system with a friend on a private server, and both of us kinda gave up on Forth after looking at it for a while.
We have now made a system using multiple Computers with Wireless Modules and Interactive sorters, a single Sorting Machine (RP), multiple Relays(RP) and quite a bit of coding..
it's incredibly fun to set up a sorting system this way... and you can have it handle just as massive amounts of items as a Sortron (i think... as stated i have no clue how to use the Sortron).
I'll take a few screenshots and post links to them if anyone should be interested.

New bug report from me: (or unloveable feature?)
Redpower Bundled Cable does NOT connect to turtles if there is a chunkloader module on the same side.
Yes I know that those chunkloaders are also wireless modems, but that just destroyed my miningdrone-carrier when I upgraded each turtle to an chunkloading miningturtle

[p3lim]

That is intended, not by this plugin, but by CC itself. If a peripheral is connected to a side on a turtle/computer, then it cannot have another attachment on said side, which ofcourse includes any kind of cabling.

[Ballistic Buddha]

With the Bee Analyzer peripheral, could there possibly be a way to read both the active and passive alleles from a bee? The table I'm seeing returned seems to only show the active traits (except for species).

Perhaps you could make it return two tables, the first for the active traits and a second for the passive traits?

Just a thought, as the way it currently works prevents me from having any useful application for the peripheral as it cannot fully gather all the stats for a bee.

[Adventure_Update_Crafting]

i cant craft anything in this mod did i install it wrong or what i put it in mods folder

[solaris765]

would it be possible to make the chunk loader peripheral be attached to the top of the turtle so it could be used with every other upgrade?

In my case I have a mining turtle digging quarries with a solar panel and would just like to not babysit it all the time for it to finish its job.

Having another chunk loader off to the side for it isn't the issue this is a question merely for the sake of convenience

It's not currently possible. All turtle attachments are on the left or right.

Hey could you add a gold not block that can be better used for music, like more octaves

Do turtle chunk loader modules need fuel? Made a "Miningturtle-Carrier" out of RedPower-Frames and execute a mix of 'tunnel 50' (yeah, I'm lazy), return and unload inventory code, but the turtles randomly deactivate (there is still plenty of fuel inside!)
Each of the 8 Turtles has it's own chunkloader module, the carrier has a world anchor (Railcraft, fuel needed = 1... the only chunkloader we have activated on the server)

Got a question for you. I'm one of the OPs on my friends server and I'm trying to get this figured out for him while he is at work. We have the latest MiscPeripherals on the server currently, and while in creative mode we can make the turtles just fine (laser turtle, compass turtle, etc.). We can't seem to get any of our players to be able to craft them though on a work bench. We have two basic turtles show up (id 1227 and 1228), but neither of them work with any of the recipes. Any ideas as to what might be causing this? The rest of the players on our server would love to use them, but we prefer not to spawn things in unless its for testing purposes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
