    Computercraft: Are startup on turtles unreliable?

    you're better off dropping then onto a floor of flowing water that Wil funnel then into a single turtle or two, it'll be far far less laggy, more reliable, and just as fast!

    Computercraft: Are startup on turtles unreliable?

    a good script for mob farm turtles is to have water drop the mods onto pressure plates, then use the Redstone.getinput() command to only make the turtles attack when there's a mob in front of them, and sleep while there isn't any.

    Applied Energistic's Question on Exporting Items

    your best bet would be to use the cargo distributor from Steve's carts. you can attach it to the bottom off the cargo manager and it will allow you to feed items into specific inventories on the cargo manager. you still won't be able to keep exactly 5 stacks of an item though, it will...

    Single item split between two destinations with sorter?

    you can make the destinations equal length by putting a transposer in line. it will act as a destination and a one way pipe. you can have your pipe split into two, then one block away you can put a transposer or filter on each side. you can even get fancy by using filters that paint the...

    Single item split between two destinations with sorter?

    if you make the distance to the two destinations equal length the items will automatically divide themselves equally. it's an inherent aspect of rp tubes. that way you don't even need a sorter

    Melee turtle help

    Hi, the code you are looking for would be the "redstone.getInput("side"). You could set up the code like follows: while true do if redstone.getInput("back") then turtle.attack() else sleep(5) end endI just looked at your code as well, it's not as clean as it could be but it should still have...

    highest node capacity.

    If I remember correctly, having one large node in your base isn't a very good idea. Mainly because aura nodes draw vis from neighbouring larger node, so if there are no nodes nearby that are larger, the supernode will never recharge. I'm not sure if this mechanic is still correct though. Just...

    Repower Inchworm Drive + Giant Mystcraft Portal?

    Yeh, would be insanely cool, but unlikely to ever happen with rp frames. Maybe it would be possible in the future with ugocraft, I believe that the movement in that mod is achieved by converting blocks into entities. Though ugocraft is so horribly buggy and only supported in japanese, i doubt it...

    How many people do this?

    Definitely, I've written programs for my mining turtles to calculate exactly how many blocks they dig and report it back to my base. Its kind of cool to see the numbers slowly creep upwards. And I think powercrystals has said he has never seen anyone fill up a DSU before. I doubt anyone ever...

    router question

    Yeh routers aren't the best machines to deal with overflow. There is really no easy way of making them work. Your best bet would be to have another sorting system (RP, BC, CC, GT) deal with random items before feeding the known items into the router to get put into barrels. And as far as the...

    Noob needing help with computercraft.

    Yeh, the computercraft forums don't allow brand new members to start new topics straight away. There is a topic on the 'ask a pro' subforum where you can submit your question though, its stickied to the top.

    Noob needing help with computercraft.

    You can use this: colors.test (redstone.getBundledInput("back"), colors.blue) It will return true if the blue colour connected to the back of the computer is on. You can then combine that with the monitors: m = peripheral.wrap("side monitor is on") if colors.test...
