I've done both hosting internally with port-forwarding on my firewall so the nephew can play, as well as using an external server/service. The hosting I did at home was on the "family PC" which my son would use (it's connected to the TV) and it would lag his game a bit. However, I haven't...

I wish. The wife hates Minecraft, or rather she hates that I play Minecraft. Probably in the way an alcoholic's wife might hate beer. lol I've played some with my son and nephew (hosting on my own server) but they're more interested in creative build than survival play and creative bores me...

I'd think writing a program to build a tree farm from nothing would be a lot easier than writing a program that attempts to scan an existing design. Remember that turtles can only "see" the block immediately in front, above, and below them. And to make matters even more difficult, a turtle can't...

Is that a direct copy & paste of your code? Because you're capitalizing words that should not be. Lua Manual: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html "Lua is a case-sensitive language: and is a reserved word, but And and AND are two different, valid names." So using "For" and "End"...

1) You've got a mis-capitalized use of "Length" in the code shown, but that could be due to transcription between Minecraft and this forum Note: If you're playing on your local PC, your program is under .../saves/<world name>/computer/<turtle ID>/ so you can open it with your favorite editor...

Check out this series of videos. First episode shows the writing of a very simple logger. Use only trees that grow without branches to make your life a lot easier (spruce or birch, for example) Programming the turtle to be a logger will be the same as any programming task. Start by...

If one considers early-game analogous to pre (or early) industrial human civilization and mid-game analogous to post (or late) industrial human civilization, then both make sense. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potash

Instead of trying to write a program from scratch, modify the "built-in" programs. Open the turtle interface: > mkdir /myprogs > cp /rom/programs/turtle/tunnel /myprogs/myTunnel > cd /myprogs > edit myTunnel Now change the tunnel program to dig a 1x2 tunnel and to place blocks on the sides...

I do this all the time between my main PC ("gromit") and the family PC ("wallace" which is attached to the TV). Note that both machines run Linux, but I'd imagine something similar could be done for Windows with cygwin installed, and this should work with OSX. If I'm on wallace and gromit...

The turtle will attempt to return to the chest when its fuel is low (this doesn't always succeed in my experience) and its interface will show "Waiting for fuel...." while it scans its inventory for some sort of fuel. To stop a turtle running a built-in program, just right-click to open its...

I can see that working. I've had such mixed experience travelling to the End; sometimes the Dragon leaves me alone for a while other times she's right on top of me. So unless I'm ready to take her on, my goal is just to get away as quickly as I can.

Only because until I'm sure I'm out of range of the Dragon (or can be quickly with my pre-built walkway) I only bring cobble and torches. But yeah, you could bring a linking book with you and hope you get out of the Dragon's range quickly.

Here's something to consider that can actually be accomplished fairly early in the game Using either the obsidian your turtle has gathered for you or a couple buckets of lava and a dirt frame, craft a Nether portal. Use Mystcraft to create a linking book to your overworld base, travel to the...
