gollark: They're very general-purpose, but bad at things.
gollark: I think it's more that CC turtles are just not good for many automation tasks.
gollark: I think what we see here is just people *not liking the same things in games*.
gollark: The trouble is that efficient modded quarries tend to outcompete turtle ones, since turtles are really annoying to work with for mining.
gollark: Switchcraft seems to manage it by making you focus more on coming up with your own goals since there aren't really any specific new mod things to do.
