i have mixed feelings about turtles using durability on tools, but if CC was to implement this then could i ask that turtles be able to use other material level tools (i.e. turltes can use wood, stone, iron, and gold tools along with the existing diamond ones) obviously the lower tier tools should have less durability than diamond and restrictions on what they can mine (if the turtle digs something above it's current tier then the turtle.dig function will return false and the block won't be mined)

this has been asked several times before, and it has always been said that this is the plan. In ComputerCraft 1.6 we saw the change that meant Turtles may now equip and unequip tools as opposed to always having the tool attached, this is the first step towards tool durability.

hopefully this will be a config option too (much like how turtle fuel is)
also, do you think it will be possible to add mod tool support? such as the amethyst and mud tools in biome o plenty? or even better tinkers construct (with/out modifiers)?
turtles being able to use enchanted tools would be cool too.
edit: i guess that we should walk before we try to run

it should definitely be possible.
whether or not that's the direction dan200 wants to go with ComputerCraft or not is a different story.

Once upon a time, tools from some mod or other worked. Think it was RedPower. They couldn't dig diamonds, though, and I think the swords did less damage.

Wasn't that a mod that allowed that?

I've no idea how it was done.

I do believe it was added through ComputerCraft along with the RP bundled cable support.
