I need help (Noob status)

[General Cry]

I have created a xp farm using melee turtles, and i have the command (in the startup)
while true do
turtle.attack()
sleep(1)
end
But when the turtles kill the blazes the turtles pick up the rods, so i was going to change the code by adding in something, but i couldn't access the startup command, it just read "TurtleOS 1.5" with nowhere to type.
I am having to break and replace every turtle, so for future reference, how to i access it?

Holding Control+T for a second should stop the program. That'll unlock the console and let you do stuff again!

Another good thing to know: Turtles and Computers will boot from any file on the root directory called "startup", running that file when they start up. If you make a startup file in a computer that just says "os.reboot()", your computer will reboot forever. To fix this, put a disk drive next to the computer, and then, using another computer, make a startup file on that disk drive that says "print("Fixed!"), then save it, and load that disk into the disk drive near the broken computer. It will restart, and use the disk drive's startup file instead of its own.

This has been very useful in the past, and is good to know for the future. Good luck, and don't forget that the turtle picks up loot so you may want to have a turtle.drop() somewhere in there.

i had a similar problem thanks for the info

a quick fix for the turtles picking up mob drops is to fill it with cobblestone ( 1 per slot ) then put transposter behind the turtle. the turtle will drop anything it picks up behind it.
i know it u can be fix it with a dropof program but this was my quick fix
