Hello. I am trying to make a turtle program that gets items from a chest, puts them in the right places, and crafts a new item. Problem: They keep stacking similar items and they don't keep items in the right location.

Here is the setup for the crafty turtle, and the code:

CTC

turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.select(1)
local selectNum = {1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,11}
for i,v in ipairs(selectNum) do
  turtle.suck()
  turtle.select(v)
end
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.select(1)
turtle.craft(1)
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.drop()
turtle.turnLeft()

Could someone help please?

turtle.turnLeft()

--this is where the turtle gets items from the chest to craft with
turtle.select(1) --selects slot 1
turtle.suck() --sucks item into slot 1
turtle.drop(turtle.getItemCount(1)-1) --drops all but 1 items back into chest

turtle.select(5) --selects slot 5, right underneath slot 1
turtle.suck() --sucks item into slot 5
turtle.drop(turtle.getItemCount(5)-1) --drops all but 1 item back into chest

--this is where turtle will craft
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.select(1) --selects slot 1
turtle.craft(1) --crafts item and places crafted item in selected slot
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.drop()
turtle.turnLeft()

I skipped 4 and 8 because they were not part of the grid.

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 A B C
D E F G

I updated the code, and it almost preserves slots, but because turtle.suck is not selective, when I try to craft a furnace I get this inventory in the turtle.

This is the updated code:

turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.select(1)
local selectNum = {1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,11}

for i,v in ipairs(selectNum) do
  turtle.select(v)
  turtle.suck()
  if turtle.getItemCount(v) >= 1 then
	turtle.drop(turtle.getItemCount(v) - 1)
  end
end

turtle.turnRight()
turtle.select(1)
turtle.craft(1)
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.drop()
turtle.turnLeft()

turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.select(1)
local selectNum = {1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,11}

for i,v in ipairs(selectNum) do
  turtle.select(v)
  if i ~= 6 then
	turtle.suck()
	if turtle.getItemCount(v) >= 1 then
	  turtle.drop(turtle.getItemCount(v) - 1)
	end
  end
end

turtle.turnRight()
turtle.select(1)
turtle.craft()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.drop()
turtle.turnLeft()

Um, turtle.craft does need an argument. How many items you want to craft. The purpose of this program is to be modular, and basically craft anything you want. Also, ifs are not loops.
