      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. Hi.

    That's probably for Support Beams. I'm not 100% though.
  2. What do you think about TFC2?

    That sounds like a lot of hassle just to appease some people who only want to gather minerals that have uses. I much prefer having all the minerals available from the start. Even if it takes a long time FOR them to have a use, stockpiling them should never EVER be frowned upon. As such, I have to disagree. That's extra coding that will become obsolete before TFC2 reaches it's final stages, which could have been time spent on earlier feature implementation, and an earlier release date.
  3. More advanced chemistry

    Given that we ever start using some form of primitive electricity in Terrafirmacraft, we have the perfect filliment for ancient light bulbs. Mind you it would be an expensive and temporary light source but it's certainly a use for all that graphite. Edit: Actually, if the Redstone mechanics are rewritten, Graphite would probably be the perfect material for making Redstone Torches.
  4. Shift Clicking with a Blueprint idea.

    I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to create four identical objects with the only difference being their orientation. Perhaps I explained it wrong? Perhaps using some screenshots would help? Here's the problem I'm trying to explain in screenshot form.
  5. I had recently begun an architectural endeavor of massive proportions, and as such, Blueprints had become a blessing and a Godsend to me. However, for some symmetrical architectural structures, like pillars or decorative columns that are 2x2 or 3x3 in size, you require at least 4 different blueprints for the different corners of the column. I suggest that when shift-clicking while using blueprints on a block that the chiseled stone is oriented in the way it looks when you copied it from your viewpoint, rather than a literal copy with it's original orientation. EDIT: Holy crap I just noticed NOW that I made a typo in the title. Wow, I apologize for that!
  6. Can we get some love for Eldpack?

    From what I understand, Eld was recently employed at Mojang, so it's being unofficially upkept now. That said, I may ask in the "official" continuation project thread on the Minecraft Forums if they'd attempt to help put it together.
  7. Eldpack is a gorgeous 16x texture pack with a Fantasy feel. I'm not ashamed to say that I fell in love with it at first sight, and have been watching it grow. I would love it if a Terrafirmacraft patch could be made for Eldpack. I would do it myself, but I'm sadly not that great at texturing blocks and armors. I HAVE started work on the items though, which isn't saying much. I finished all the ingots and am working toward finishing all the metal components(Chain links, double ingots, sheets, etc.) by tomorrow evening.
  8. If I recall correctly, when you start a new world, rock types are assigned to each of the (possibly) hundreds of TFC biomes, and those specific rock layer combinations will always be in that biome for that world. Example: The three rock layers for the area you spawn in, which we'll say is Plains_5, are, from bottom to top, Basalt, Phyllite, and Chert respectively. EVERY Plains_5 biome in that world SHOULD have that exact same combination of rock types, but only in this specific world. In another randomly generated world, Plains_5 could have a completely different three rock layers. It's all dependant on seed firstly, THEN biome type. At least, that's how it was before, it could have been changed in my absence, of course.
  9. Your chisel creations!!

    Time to improve my stove design!
  10. I spent too much time putting a shale roof on this cabin, but here are images of my home, farm, and temporary metal works. http://imgur.com/a/vxoFx#0 Haven't built anything remarkable with the chisel yet, but when I start building at the location I want to, I'll be using the chisel quite a lot. Started doing strip mining near where the cassiterite and copper was found. Also, this sort of became a diary of my game so far. Is this thread in the right section?
  11. I've been marking every location that I've found surface ore with a block of cobble, there's a huge field of bismuthinite, cassiterite, and native copper about a mile away from where I've set up shelter. I need just a bit more tin to make a prospector's pick, which is, incidentally, the last tool I absolutely need. Just a bit more cassiterite and I'll be ready. I've set up a forge and a bloomery, but neither will be perminent, as I have my eyes set on relocating to the mountains that's much farther.
  12. Playing by the book. After being with this mod for such a long time, playing blind is now impossible. Well, almost impossible. Constant overhaul of the very early phase of the game is a bit off putting sometimes, but I'm quite content in knowing that most of the rest of the game will stay the same until the Kingdoms update, or the construction overhaul if those two aren't the same.
  13. The day is April 8th, 1000. One month and seven Minecraft days after starting the game, and about a week of playing the game here in the real world. I have scavenged a 5 mile radius of my home and spawn location, hunted, gathered, and knapped tools, staved off the undead and the damned, and built a rather cozy log cabin over a river bed. I have quite literally over a hundred crops planted, and enough food to last me the rest of the year. I've been blessed with settling near at least four large deposits of clay, a lime stone, marble, and diorite field for plenty of flux, and willows grow nearby, granting me with enough wood to make more charcoal than should be necessary for the remainder of the year. However, metal had evaded me. One might say I'm... Met-allergic. One month and 50 miles of searching through the desolate grassy plains, the thick and heavily shrubbed woodlands and forests, and climbing steep, dangerous cliff sides, I finally found Cassiterite AND Native Copper. Today I have made my first metal tool legitimately. A tin chisel. It only gets more difficult from here, I suppose. Wish me luck on my journey. Yes I only made this post to make that terrible pun. Please don't hurt me.
  14. Your chisel creations!!

    I bring you the Stove. As you can see, it's functional as well. And finally, a small detail: Door Frames. Technically it's made with planks, but the corners had to be chiseled to make it connect.
  15. Your chisel creations!!

    http://i.imgur.com/Lz0Ua.png Here's what I get for trying to chisel reliefs using regular stone. I think there should be a non-tiled Smooth Stone so that chiseled imagery like this can be done well. So far the only types of stone available that could potentially look good as relief stone are chalk and rock salt. I would use those materials, but I'm building using only local material. It also doesn't help that (probably due to lighting engine limitations.) chisel blocks do not cast or have shadows cast upon them, making them look much flatter than they are. Also, hello everyone, I have returned!
