Fuel won't turn off?

I just updated to 1.63 and restarted my server. Logged on and my main turtle (with ALL of my programs) was unlabeled and required fuel to move.

I checked the config and sure enough, the fuel requirement had switched back to true in the update. shut the server down, changed the config for the fuel, restarted server. My turtle STILL requires fuel to move.

How do I get it to not require fuel as the config states, and is there a way to re-associate it as turtle 0 instead of 8? I can just copy+paste all my programs over, but I'd rather have my old turtle back.

At some point, I believe the configuration started to all be in a single file. Try backing up and deleting the config files, then edit the newly generated file to your liking.

Thank you very much!

Now is there a way to re-assign my turtle. back to 0?

Oh, you might be able to fiddle around with damage values or nbt data while it is in your inventory, but that's generally not a good idea. You could also remove its label, pick it up, shut the server down, back up and remove your lastid.txt from the computer folder, start the server, place the turtle, label it, shut the server down, restore the lastid file, then start the server again. Really, though, just copying the files over is going to be the best idea.

I've had luck editing the lastid.txt file live. Edit lastid.txt, place computer/turtle, label, re-edit lastid.txt, keep playing. I've been working on the assumption that the file is only read/written when a computer ID is generated.

Am I understanding correctly that I *should* be shutting down the server before fiddling with lastid.txt?

I haven't messed with it very much, so I suggested that way for greater safety (and to try to discourage that option, heh), but if it works without shutting down the server, so much the better, I suppose.
