[1.31] Tree leaves destroy turtles.

Basically a repost of this bug (because it was locked): http://www.computerc...estroy-computer

As that thread says, turtle leaves destroy turtles if they are in the space when they grow. Annoying bug - in a server, we had to burn down a tree farm to try and find a turtle, all to find it wasn't there - then we saw it happen to a turtle. It makes a tree farm a very risky business!

Edit: Just to point out, it doesn't always happen either - so hard to reproduce.

Its an issue that can't be fixed. It deals with isOpaque and the turtle has to be set one way to work and leaves happen to be able to delete that way.

Oops! Thought as much. Thank you for the reply.

Is it really unsolvable? At least working comp can check itself for "assistance" and restore itself if was replaced without breaking.

Technically I'm sure it's FIXABLE, but I'm going to say it will remain a bug for at least a while, because of the rarity of this happening in normal circumstances.

It's not that hard to work around, you just have to be mindful that the problem exist. Place your saplings so that they have adequate room to grow(so they dont place leaves on the ground level), and place your turtle appropriately. The main use I have for turtles in tree farming and this has never been an issue for me.

This isn't a rare thing to have happen if you are designing a turtle system that mines leaves as well as wood. With mining leaves, you can make a self sustaining tree farm entirely inside a program that you can plop down anywhere. IMO, this limits tree farming to small manually maintained, kinda lousy systems. I've designed an oak tree farming system around avoiding this bug, and it works, but it makes the resulting system awkward.

This hasn't been a problem since 1.4x.

I'm sorry to bump this topic but the forum doesn't let me create a new topic anywhere xD


[SSP/1.5/Direwolf20 ModPack] Tree leaves still destroy turtles
If I'm not mistaken it is supposed to be fixed since 1.4x

Just in case, the tree is a Redwood tree.

What mod are trees from? How do you know the turtle is being replaced by the leaves?

I believe the redwood trees are from extrabiomesXL.

I know it was destroyed because I was programming it while there were redwood saplings in a 2x2 layout and it grew, generally the redwood tree (its big, like 3.5 stacks of wood in a 2x2xY) grows with high height leaves around 8 blocks high , what happened is that sometimes it grows at half the size and leaves grows at two blocks of height just where I placed the turtle.

T = Turtle
_ = Ground
S = Sapling
W = Wood
L = Leaves
[ ] = Nothing

Before
[ ][T][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[_][_][_][_]

After

[ ][L][W][W][L][ ]
[_][_][W][W][_][ ]


Other thing the turtle was a solar turtle, just in case the problem comes from the MiscPeripherals addon if those turtles has a different behaviour than normal turtles.

Ok, I'll speak to Scott and ask how his code determines if leaves should be placed there - and find out where the bug lies, and get it fixed!

(Amusingly, I was the one who posted the original bug back when I wasn't a dev. How times change!)

I've spoken to Scott and the bug is in his code. There should be a fix in his code tonight, and I imagine within the pack within the next two weeks :)/>

Okey, thank you. In the end I guessed that the bug was in that mod when I noticed that the leaves also eat up a nearby wrath lamp from Factorization >.< xD
