Strait Raider

Most issues I've encountered have already been reported, so I'll just say Excellent Work! Ocean water glitches might sometimes be related to decoration spawns. I found this area with lots of broken sugar cane in it (picked most of them up before I thought to screenshot) http://imgur.com/a/ynfwX

Nope. Just found horses in 78.8. The chunk had been loaded previously (but evidently I missed them the first time) and there was already one foal. When I came closer to investigate I witnessed two horses spontaneously enter the mating sequence, resulting in another pregnancy. So what we need is to be able to right-click stallions with a knife to make them a gelding...

We've yet to encounter horses in our 0.78.5+ world, but I can confirm that this was happening as described in 0.78.3. Every female horse or donkey was pregnant when found.

Seems to be fixed for me in 0.78.7

It does sound like it's the go-to method of getting early copper now. I hope in the future once they've remastered the sluice mechanics it will work like a mobile version of that - scan a large area around with a chance of providing a small piece of that ore. It would make it more of a prospecting tool than an automatic free (but slow) source of copper/gold/silver.

Seconded. Seems like it might only be happening with certain foods. Maise being the primary offender in my case. Can be successfully combined with other food, adds no weight.

I'm loving build 78 so far, but the new terrain generation is bugging me a little bit. The surface-level ravines are pervasive. I'm guessing they spawn with the same regularity that they do underground, just unlocked so that they can reach the surface. One the surface where you can move faster, the effect is rather extreme. They're EVERYWHERE, and result in a lot of "oh sh-" moments when you're unexpectedly jumping over a 40-meter drop. They also seem to generate after the dirt layer does, because they are usually partly to completely covered with one-block-thick grass. Your first notice of many crevices is the ground crumbling away behind you, a little unsettling. The new hot springs and surface lava pockets have these issues too - both being very common and usually part-covered with dirt. Gameplay-wise it's kinda interesting, it really keeps you on your toes when you're travelling and it gives you a lot more (perhaps too many!) places to explore for quick ores. I personally think all the partly-covered ravines make the terrain look pretty ugly though, and it's pretty hard on the livestock too. Just wondering if there are any changes planned for this, whether it's feasible to change any of it, or whether it's working as intended.

Hotfix #: 0.78.3 Suggested Name: Fresh Water Ice breaks to Salt Water Suggested Category: Annoying Description: Winter, camped by a freshwater river. River has completely frozen over. Break some ice to do some ice fishing. Later notice that ice which has reformed over hole is white instead of light blue like the rest. Cannot fill jugs from this water, and is repeatable when I break new holes in the ice. Bucket confirms the ice turns into salt water when broken. Have you deleted your config files and are still able to reproduce this bug?: Yes Fixed in Version 0.78.4 [*]Fixed several issues with fresh and salt water freezing and unfreezing into the incorrect types.

Working as intended. As IRL, you can use it for fences or the base for a wall. Gotta use brick or cut stone if you want to go higher.

That would kind of defeat the purpose, which I assume is to make variety in your diet important. If they just filled less hunger, the solution would just be to increase production slightly of whatever food source you're using. If it helps, don't think of it as debuffs for bad nutrition, think of it as buffs for good nutrition.

Hey, imperial units make sense for a game set in the stone age.

Squid can definitely be a bit broken now. In our current world we have several people living solely off squid because they spawn in the shallow rivers and lakes nearby where they are very east to hunt. When we get the salt/fresh water division they shouldn't spawn in most of that very shallow fresh water where they're so easy to hunt, which would go a long way towards balancing them. It also appears as though they aren't coded to flee players, which would make them exceedingly difficult to catch without rod and tackle.

It would be kind of neat if you could dip tool heads in molten tin to confer a durability bonus to them. Something like level one unbreaking from vanilla minecraft. Probably a fair bit of work for a minor thing though, and only really makes sense for iron and higher tools, as bronze and copper are naturally resistant to corrosion. (they form a protective patina) The tin can wasn't invented until the 1800s, which I think puts it a fair way outside of what TFC aims for.

Thanks for the welcome. If you ever do work on aquafirmacraft let me know, I might be able to make some models.

From the depths of 2013, I resurrect thee, thread! Coming from the East Coast, I'm (obviously) from a fishing family. However we don't go diving for squid and hit them with swords, and we almost never use rod and tackle. What we do use for various species, off the top of my head is: Crab, lobster - traps Clams - digging Oysters - raked off the bottom Herring - Gill net Gaspereau, Eels - Diversion to cage Smelts - Box net through ice Mackerel - Handlining I know there's some work being done on improving fishing rods, so this will probably be pretty low priority if it's ever considered, but it would be great if we could get some new methods for fishing. While rod and tackle has been around for at least 8000 years or so it doesn't seem to be the first method we had, certainly isn't the best, and judging by current "primitive" fishing cultures doesn't seem to be our go-to fishing solution. I know I'm paraphrasing a lot of what has been said here already, but it would be great to be able to spear-fish, Just bandying some thoughts around for how some of this might be done. Simplest thing would probably be spearfishing, practiced in many, many cultures and basically how we already hunt squid in-game. If fish don't alert until swimming characters are quite close they could be melee'd. Or if they alert at greater distances they could be hunted with thrown javelins. Or as a more complicated mechanic they could add a dedicated fish-spear weapon with a reach of two tiles or so, very low damage and no knockback. (making it useless as a combat weapon) Weir blocks could be "woven" from a 3x3 grid of sticks and be placed like fences but use Dunk's awesome new object-in-water magic that he can do to make a visually appealing fish diversion. With this we could make simple weirs, diversions, and cages to corral fish into spearing-distance. If we wanted to be fancy, perhaps crafting a circle of weir blocks could make a one-way weir block, but I'm not sure if it is feasible to do one-way blocks in Minecraft. Come to think of it, a woven stick fence would be a more stone-age appropriate alternative to the vanilla-style post-and-rail fences... Weir blocks in a U-shape could perhaps be crafted into traps/pots for bottom-dwelling crabs/lobsters/crayfish, but I imagine that would require a LOT of special coding to allow live capture trapping of only certain animals, and allowing traps to be baited. Net blocks could perhaps be woven out of 3x3 yarn and placed to create gill nets, which would be placed like weirs to catch fish that swum into it. Might need a durability component to avoid being overpowered. (Nets need to be frequently mended, even with modern materials) Perhaps nets could then be crafted with stones at each corner of a 3x3 grid to make cast nets, tools which could capture fish in a small area in which it is thrown. Probably requires quite a lot of special coding though, when rod and tackle and potentially spearfishing or weirs already exist.
