Advanced Turtle Lumberjack (tutorial)

Advanced Turtle Lumberjack

Introduction

Welcome to this tutorial about Advanced Turtle Lumberjacks. See the Turtle Lumberjack Tutorial first.

What are Advanced Turtle Lumberjacks?

Advanced Turtle Lumberjacks are basically Turtle Lumberjacks that can dig blocks above them. We first make the turtle dig the block in front of it and then move forward so the rest of the tree is directly above it.

The Code

 turtle.dig()
 turtle.forward()
 while turtle.detectUp() do
   turtle.digUp()
   turtle.up()
 end
 while not turtle.detectDown() do
   turtle.down()
 end

This makes us check if there are no blocks to be dug, then we go down until we can't. That's it!

Another Advanced Turtle Lumberjack

This is a lot more complex BUT this can create a row of trees and constantly monitor them to see if they have grown or not. Here is a link to a video showing what it does- ComputerCraft-Turtle-Tree Lumberjack

shell.run('clear')
C=1
X=0
X1=0
print("Place Dirt in Slot 1 and Saplings in Slot 2 and 1 log in slot 3 Thankyou :) ")
write("How many trees do you want me to plant X direction?:")
X=io.read()

X=X+0
X1=X
X1=X1+0

turtle.up()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.turnLeft()

turtle.back()
turtle.back()
turtle.back()

while C>0 do
	while X>0 do
	turtle.digDown()
	turtle.select(1)
	turtle.placeDown()
	turtle.back()
	turtle.select(2)
	turtle.place()
	turtle.back()
	turtle.back()
	turtle.back()
	X=X-1
	end
C=0
end	
print("Planted Trees!")
 
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.forward()
turtle.turnRight()
 
  
 
--/chop trees
X=X1
C=1
C=C+0
while C>0 do
while X>0 do
print("X= "..X.."")
X=X+0
	turtle.forward()
	turtle.forward()
	turtle.forward()
	turtle.forward()
	turtle.turnRight()
	turtle.select(3)
		if turtle.compare()==true then
		turtle.dig()
		turtle.forward()
		
			while turtle.detectUp() do
			turtle.up()
			turtle.digUp()
			turtle.up()
			end
			
			while turtle.detectDown()==false do
			turtle.down()
			end
		turtle.back()
		turtle.select(2)
		turtle.place()
		end
	
	turtle.turnLeft()
X=X-1
print("X after = "..X.."")
end
turtle.forward()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.forward()
turtle.forward()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.forward()
X=X1
W=turtle.getItemCount(3)
print("I've cut down "..T.." Trees")
print("I've collected "..W.." Logs")
end

(Helpful tip: Save this to your computercraft/lua/rom/programs folder, then it will be on all turtles.)
