I know if you select a treetap on a turtle and do turtle.place() it will drop the sticky resin.
The problem is that is drops. It would be much easier for the turtle be given the resin instead of dropping it.

Non-developer here, but this is likely due to IC2 code. I doubt it would make much sense for the CC devs to special-case that one tool, especially when an existing peripheral specifically adds treetap turtles.

RichardG did it.. But okay hebis an IC2 dev. Maybe the devs could ask hin for a push in the right direction.
In my experience of coding, I want to try it myself first, thats the 'push'

There's a peripheral that does this; MiscPeripherals.

Not gonna happen. We're not going to special case tree taps. Tree taps are working exactly how they are supposed to - by dropping an item, just like if a player did it.

We don't need any push in the right direction. Should we want to do it, we could do it no problem - but we're not going to do it.

iirc the tree tap never even used to work with turtle.place() so just be happy that it works :)/>

does
 turtle.place()
turtle.suck()
not work?
And there is a tree tap turtle in MiscPeripherals as tiin57 has mentioned

Yes, that would work, unless the resin has fallen to the ground or flown a couple blocks away.

This topic has more than run its course. Locked.
