Instead of Being seperate and filling up the creative inventory,Why not just make turtles equip items? You know,it will be annoying to fill up inventories

Slot 1:Tools
Slot 2:Crafty or not
Slot 3:Wireless or not

Which is exactly the point. We don't want you to be able to change the equipment.

You can still craft a tool on to it. I'm not sure if it keeps it's id/fuel/etc though.

No. Not unless it's a bucket or something that acts in a similar fashion.

Well, turtle.place() uses (almost) any tool like if the player were holding it. You could use shears and several other things. THe only ones that have problems, would be mod tools, i think.

It doesn't use mining tools though, correct?

Turtles work with almost any tool that can right-click. Some mod tools don't work though.

Wait, so a turtle could milk a cow as long as it has a bucket selected, and has a program to milk a cow?

Indeed, just tested it, and it can milk a cow.

I can just imagine how many people when figuring that out will take it completely in the wrong way..

Must test with wheat tomorrow so I can have my farm breeding while I'm lazing around fishing.

So I take it when you are crafting a tool to the turtal you are doing it to 1 not take up a slot in the inventory and 2 doing it to make the tool unbreaking.

Well, that is the plan. But I do believe there is a plan for tool durability for tools crafted to the turtle itself.

If you do that any possibly for being able to craft the lesser tools to the turtle? (wood, stone, iron, gold) Of course that might be a bit OP with out durability.

No idea. I think there was a suggestion post quite a while ago, but I don't really feel like searching for it.

In my mind I just think Tool durability and all type of tools should go hand in hand.
