ComputerCraft version: CC1.6pr8 Client + Server

Description:

If you put 1 coal into a turtle and refuel you get 80 fuel units.
If you put 1 coal block into a turtle and refuel you get 800 fuel units.

Seeing, that the coal block is crafted with only 9 pieces of coal, it should only give you 9 * 80 = 720 units.

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Put one piece of coal into a turtle and run refuel 1 (80 fuel)
  2. Put one block of coal into the turtle and run refuel 1 (you get 880.)
  3. Realise, that the fuel value should only be 800 (80 + 720) but is 880.

Interesting, I don't know if this is intentional, or if Dan just forgot the math.

Ah! Good catch, this will probably be fixed, unfortunately.

This had been around for quite a while; I believe it was intentional to give you extra fuel. Can't remember where I had seen it.

Turtle fueling is done by taking the number of furnace operations a given fuel provides and multiplying by ten. Coal gives 8 operations, coal blocks give 80. This is not a bug.

Does this mean you can use any furnace fuel (sticks, saplings, logs) as fuel?

Yes. It also means that items from other mods with fuel values should also fuel the turtles.

It is correct, it matches vanilla furnace behaviour. Closing
