      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

  1. An Aesthetic Use for Gems

    Small, opaque cubes is exactly what I suggested. I figured that it would get little attention in development until the final stages, if at all, due to the nature of the suggestion when I posted it. However, one can always hold out hope. As for the age of the discussion, I'd come to realize that as I went through the archives, however the only thread on the topic was... Lackluster. I simply wanted to fesh it out a bit more (something, I'm afraid, I probably didn't do that well). Either way, theres a proper thread now.
  2. An Aesthetic Use for Gems

    Derailment is a spectacular thing... Though, I'm glad this is being given some thought, even if the suggestions are mutating rather rapidly from what was originally suggested.
  3. Anime?

    I've got a list. A long list but still not the longest I've seen. By far.. I've only got a month of continuous watch time under my belt. http://myanimelist.net/animelist/PaththeGreat Favorites? Baccano, NGE, Steins;Gate, Ghost in the Shell, etc.
  4. What do you like about terrafirmacraft

    I love the chisel. That and mining. Mining is just such an enjoyable experience for me.
  5. An Aesthetic Use for Gems

    The idea is this: Use gems to build up 8x8x8 blocks, much like those created from chiselling rock. The color and relative opacity of the placed gems would be controled by the type of gem as well as thier quality (higher quality gems are generally more transparent due to a lack of cracking or discoloring imperfection). Naturally, not all precious stones are transparent, so this would also affect the resulting block. I could see this system working well to create high quality windows or to accentuate that marble throne you've made for yourself with diamonds. Now, ideally, this would also permit the addition of gemstones to stone carvings. This would likely require some mortar or a similar adhesive to fix into place and removal from its setting might damage (reduced quality) or destroy the gem. This second half, I imagine, is probably a pipe-dream, but I can't help but imagine how cool a dolomite statue with ruby eyes would be. Given the way planks may be placed and rocks may be chiseled, I assume the framework for this is already in place, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Edit: I guess this wasn't such an original idea after all. :/ Oh well.
  6. A Non-magical Use for Gems

    I'm personally fond of the idea of using gems for aesthetic purposes. Say, placing them as single parts of 8x8x8 blocks like you get when you chisel down stone. The quality and type of gem affect the opacity and color of the micro-blocks respectively. I could see making high-quality windows or statues using this method. Ideally you could even interface them with chiseled stone, but thats just a pipe-dream from a sculpter, I think. The downside, though, is that this probably has a high coding requirement, but it was just a thought I had while playing with the chisel. Apologies, I seem to have somehow missed the suggestion forum rules. I'll be moving this to its own thread now.
