Hopping on the stream with more TFC http://www.twitch.tv/camiwins

Hi Everyone - Just a quick intro, I started playing this mod yesterday and have been addicted. I'm still not very good, but I really enjoy my time with it so far. I've been streaming for a few weeks now and my channel is growing. Currently I'm streaming Minecraft, League of Legends & Hearthstone. Here is the link to my channel for you guys to check out: http://www.twitch.tv/camiwins/ I stream daily starting as early as 2PM Pacific / 5PM Eastern. My Twitter is the best way to find out when I'm streaming: @camiwins since my times may vary depending on what I'm upto that day. If you decide to check out my stream, that would be fantastic. I definitely need more TFC love, and am kind of terribad... and keep dying. Anywho... if anyone is also interested in teaming up to do a joint stream or something, I would also be down for that. PM me <3

Going live soon come by and say hello:http://www.twitch.tv/camiwins

Starting the Terrafirmacraft stream shortly:http://www.twitch.tv/camiwins

Username: sofilthy Age: 25 Location: Los Angeles Why do you like to play TFC? - My fantasies of living in the woods by my own means can come true in this mod. <3 Why do you want to join? - It gets lonely playing by myself. I really enjoy light late night convo while working on w/e goals I may be trying to accomplish. What will you add to the server? - I'm so new, maybe nothing now, but I love making food and crops

TL;DR - Can we implement Quests that a player can either spawn the world with or without? Quests will grant rewards that enhance their experience but doesn't alter the base mod mechanics. I'm apologizing now if this is a dead thread and nobody wants to revive it, but I really enjoyed a lot of the points made here and would love to see a resolution. Firstly, everyone who has participated in this thread has made very valid points. Yes, even the bad spellers. (Disclaimer: I didn't read every single word, skimmed through it mostly, but I absorbed as much as I could.) Now, I've only recently started playing this mod today and I cannot believe I went this long playing Vanilla. The more challenging survival aspect is exactly what makes TFC so enjoyable for me. The concept of harvesting crop and different seasons appeals to the Harvest Moon fangirl in me and the complex crafting/forging/skills etc. appeals to the strategic gaming crack addict (must... always... be... efficient!). I've noticed it also has a community that tends to skew a bit older in the demographic, which is reassuring for me that there is a MC Mod that has matured in the way that I did. Growing for the need to challenge myself further than the 9x9 crafting while still keeping it ligh-thaerted with those pesky skeletons throwing javelins. My Stance: Honestly, I would love to see accomplishments to mark my successes in the game. So, you can chalk me up to the 'goals' side of this discussion.The concept of continually building up my little home will suffice for, let's say, a week? When I've finally built that home and farm, the question of "what's next" is scaring me. Even at my newbie stage! I would hate for TFC to only have a few week's worth of play for me, before I decide to start over (boring) or more devastatingly... find a new mod (gasp)? With everyone's suggestions of disasters being the last idea mentioned, wouldn't that be similar to starting over? I mean, what's to stop me from just starting over now, and also, what is going to keep my interest after I survive this apocalypse? My Suggestion: What do you guys think of "Quest" lines that appear randomly throughout the map that can only be activated by investigating an oddity in the world? It can reward you in ways that enhance your play experience, but doesn't alter it? This can be a feature toggled before the world spawns for those that don't want an end game. Examples (sorry if they're incredibly lame): "Pet" Quest: Rare bird is looking for it's nest. Solution: Examine several trees in the area to discover rare egg nest. Reward: Rare bird gives you an egg to keep as your "pet" which helps you hunt for wild fruits/veggies (Extension to this... said pet could be trained and it has skills to be able to do things like forage for you, etc. This type of quest can advance to wolf pets or horses or whatever, just throwing it out there.) "Agriculture" Quest: You stumble upon a clearing of foreign plants only to find that it's poison and you're dying. Solution: Find an antidote by combining wild flowers that spawn near that area to cure you. Reward: Discovered new herbs that can help with your food's stats or longevity or whatever. "Mining" Quest: A cave you discover has a very dangerous steep walls but a rare metal to be obtained Solution: In a puzzle-like way you figure out the safest way to navigate through the walls and mine the metal Reward: Metal can be used to create an item which helps find other precious metals within the game, similar to a compass Again, apologies for the shit quest examples. I just wanted to make sure I got the idea across. Also, a reminder, I haven't played through most of the mod yet so if there's already solutions for my rewards please disregard that small portion and let's focus on the concept. Lol. There's my 2 cents. This was a great thread to read anyway and I'm super stoked on playing this mod even further.

This is very helpful. I just started today and had a blast! I'm only calling it quits for tonight because I have to get up early in the morning. My next play through will be much easier knowing what to do. Thanks again
