 Function turtle.dig | |
| Attempts to dig the block in front of the turtle. If successful, suck() is automatically called, placing the item in turtle inventory in the selected slot if possible (block type matches and the slot is not a full stack yet), or in the next available slot. If a hoe is used to attempt to "dig" a dirt block, it will be tilled instead. Tilling is also possible if the space in front of the turtle is empty but dirt exists below that point. | |
| Syntax | turtle.dig([string toolSide]) |

| Part of | ComputerCraft |
