Please Dont Add Durability To Mining Turtle's Or Any Turtle Using a Tool!
It Would Cause Turtles To Not Be Used If They Add Durability B/C
We Would Have To Craft Diamond Tools Or Any Tools All The Time!

Thank You.

I would rather that durability is added, turtles are cheap to make, and are sort of to over powered.

True, But They Are Only Crafted With Diamond Tools And I Do a:

Computercraft Challenge, Videos Where I Only Use Turtles For Everything, Finding Diamonds Is Hard Enough.

Not sure if this should go into Suggestions or not. I'm going to just go ahead and move it, as it sounds like you're making a suggestion.

If durability is not added, turtles are "OP" autominers. If durability is added, turtles are useless for anything else.

Probably durability should be optional. But it would also be good if durability scaled to reflect the fact that turtles can't switch tools. Or tools could be swappable, but that's been denied already. If turtles could swap tools and be able to check if the current tool could harvest a block, then normal durability wouldn't be too bad. Or if durability were dramatically higher on the turtle tool, it would still be worthwhile. Or you could have a turtle "hand tool" that had no durability but could only harvest blocks that could be harvested by hand…I actually sorta like that one.

This has been discussed repeatedly. Durability is something that has at least been on the developers' minds at times, and each time it's talked about, it is mentioned that if it is added, it will be a config option, just like fuel usage.
