(I doubt this ever gets in, but eh :P/>)
In this concrete example I'll talk about that lua should be handed the x,y,z coordinates and facing of the turtle/computer or should have functions to request such.
This may be extended to even more information though.
  • But theres GPS!
  • But it has been suggested before!
  • But it breaks the 4th wall!
Yup, yup and yup. And it will be an admin feature. Means it will be nil-ed in bios. That way no turtle or pc can access it.
If the (server) admins recode bios or basic APIs then they could utilize that functions for things.

Stuff like:
  • Logs on which computer spams the rednet (and its in-world location)
  • having "mining permits" that one has to buy for turtles to mine in certain allowed areas only
  • etcetc.
