How to craft¶

To create a husbandry soul, you need to feed 3 different types of animals via the feedSoul function to a weak automata core. The core needs to be placed inside the turtle into the current active slot(Usually the first one).

The turtle needs 9 animals in total:

Animal	Amount
Cow	3
Sheep	3
Chicken	3

Step by Step:

Create a weak automata turtle(A normal turtle with a weak automata core as upgrade)
Place another weak automata core in the current active slot of the turtle
run weakAutomata#feedSoul() for every animal while the animal is in front of the turtle

Example

core = peripheral.find("weak_automata")

successful, message = core.feedSoul()
print(successful)
print(message)
