So, while playing Crafting Paradise on the FTB Launcher (code is "craftingparadise") I noticed that turtles were craftable. Seeing as turtles are cheaper than Vacuum Hoppers early game, I created this simple program. I personally use this to collect from my sieve so I don't have to :D/>

HOW TO SETUP
Put your turtle one block above your sieve and one block away, pointing towards the sieve like this:

And put a chest underneath it.

To get this program just type "pastebin get QpFNzArb"


Note
This will not rename your turtle for you to "Vacuum Hopper" etc.

To do that, go into lua ( lua() ) and type "os.setComputerLabel("Vacuum Hopper")"

This seems like a pretty cool concept, as it shows how people underrate computercraft, when this is a convienent method.

So you create a creature that can transform your world, and all it does is sit on a chest collecting the output from a sieve. Such cruelty to turtles.

Anyway to rename it within your code you could add these lines before the while loop starts:

if os.getComputerLabel() == nil or os.getComputerLabel() ~= "Vacuum Hopper" then
  os.setComputerLabel("Vacuum Hopper")
  print("Computer label set to 'Vacuum Hopper'")
end

Is it possible to use turtles to sieve for you too?
