But why? I agree with KaoS on this one. Why would a colored floppy, other than being able to see easier, be better?

We had a request for them - it was an easy feature, so why not? I make no judgement as to whether they are better or not, but if people want pink floppies, let them have them :(/>

Just to be clear, the feature in the picture is nothing to do with floppies.
I am quoting this post at every person who posts "Reading signs is useless". Thanks Cloudy!

I should clarify that just because it is easy doesn't always mean we will do it - it depends if it fits in with the mod still :(/>

But it means that just because something doesn't "have a purpose" *cough*readingsigns*cough* that it's necessarily off the table. After all, colored floppies don't really have a use beyond the people who want them.

You can do this easily using turtles and diskdrives.

Printer. The blurred text indeed looks like "Printer"

Why would a printer have an interface like this?

Put ink in the left slot, paper or books in the top, printed paper comes out on the bottom slot?

Yes, but why would you want to print 6 books at once?

This is probably obscure but...

...it has 6 slots because it's a printer that prints two-sided (books have two sides per page)
...it is a fax or scanner device with a paper-queue for input.

The last idea is probably more realistic, because reading MAPS like in the printers peripheral is bit-manipulation, but reading BOOKS is just reading strings from a java interface with Version 1.3.2 now. So, why not? It should be easy once you figured out to do a printer, and if cloudy says easy things are done, why not.

But I have to admit that the blurred text neither looks like Printer, Scanner nor Fax. So, let's just wait for the update, shall we?

Sigh.

It's a printer. The game has been given away many times in this thread and in IRC, including a quote from dan200 where it is obvious.

My guess, by the arrows, is that it cycles through the 6 slots, you're not printing all 6 at once. Printed books/paper obviously can't stack.
