      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. Teaching

    Not that I think the idea is all that necessary to begin with, but why not just make being taught cost experience, and perhaps give a tiny amount to the teacher. Incentive to teach and a cost to learning?
  2. Have you ever found Graphite in Gneiss?

    Just through chance I never find graphite in gneiss. On the other hand graphite spawn regularly on the surface for me, or at least in an open ravine or cave.
  3. Ceramic bowls - another tedium

    We should at least be able to create a bigger kiln structure or a firing mound which is capable of 16 items at once near mid game when collecting coal, bricks or wood becomes much easier. Or just make it so the bowls don't break.
  4. [TFC 0.79.27] Technofirma Mod Pack

    That bug is usually caused by outdated graphics chip, I guess you're disabling stencil bits? IT could be that some of the mods require the use of stencil bits, in which case there's probably no alternative left.
  5. Digging Up Safely

    What about placing a plank? if you place it over you head can you now just dig straight up? the cobble won't be able to hit you.
  6. Debris Duping

    I had the same problem, came to the same conclusions. However it stopped after about 2 hours of game play and I couldn't reproduce it in that single session.
  7. Torch Poll

    How about you read the poll? The question is; After playing with the new torch mechanic, what is your opinion? There was no option for the opinion I wanted to voice, which was absolutely valid. Because the simple condition of whether or not a permanent light source exists completely shifts my disposition towards the mechanic. Plenty of us have voiced that opinion, whether or not it should be included in the poll is a question of whether you're willing to listen to community.
  8. Torch Poll

    The questions being asked is about the mechanic, so isn't irrelevant. If you ask whether I like all foods, or no foods, I'll tell you that your question is insufficient.
  9. Torch Poll

    I'm gonna agree with maga and say that the poll is insufficient. Despite what I expected, I happen to love the feature...but only if there is a permanent light source. Without pumpkins I think it's an awful feature and makes the game boring. It's clear that a permanent light source is what a lot of us want, or at least a very long lasting one. To say that it is irrelevant to the current torch mechanic is so absurd I can't get my head around it.
  10. How do you catch a fish?

    Learn how to spear fish, you'll get your butchering skills up while you're at it.
  11. A slight modification to logpile block physics

    Waste of time in my opinion. Here's an exercise in real life. Take 16 different wooden logs and try to make a nice stack out of them. It's not as easy as you might think, hell, even two different types of wood can be hard.
  12. Snowberries

    They do seem to contain a lot of harmful chemicals. Based on the ld50 of orally ingesting such compounds purely from snowberries, the effects of vomiting and delirium would kick in before you could ingest enough.
  13. Minecraft 2 early access

    I'm sure he knew that already.
  14. Let's See Some Builds

    Its awesome at night, but we need a picture of the house during day time too.
  15. Tutorial site in the making!

    All I ask is that the information you supply is correct. There are way too many tutorials out there that spread misinformation based on faulty "experiments". Don't be that guy that says diamonds spawn more around lava.....
  16. Integrated Crafting Guides

    If you are going to include other sources, why not just make the journal belong to steve? Don't tell the story behind steve, all you know is that you are in the middle of nowhere and that you have your journal outlining all the different things you know. You've got a believable survival guide without hinting at how steve got the information, it's up to the player to decide if he's a survivor or an adventure etc.
  17. Torch Discussion

    I can't see how a permanent light source wouldn't fit into the game. As pointed out a thousand times by now, the focus is believability within the context of the game, not realism. What makes a permanent light source any different from an infinite water source, why should we believe one but not the other. At any rate a lantern will be expensive and take a while to craft, so you can't exactly light up forests. It seems here that this whole "believability VS Realism" concept is just thrown around whenever an idea is being trashed, and is disregarded when an official feature is being implemented.
  18. Snowberries

    A proper bog would be nice. Plenty of peat all around, I'd live in it.
  19. Java Arguments

    Calm down there kitty, just cancelling out potential problems. A lot of people on mac's got a big performance dips on 1.6.4.
  20. Java Arguments

    Try play minecraft 1.8 vanilla and see how the fps compares. Now JVM arguments, just clean as it comes.
  21. How can I use a vanilla seed in TFC?

    Tfc has terrain like that, you just have to explore more.
  22. Snowberries

    Nor have I, or ethoslab.
  23. Mod or addition to TFC

    When I say I want realism it's because I see TFC as a tool for learning. History, biology and geology etc are all prevalent in this mod, so it's only right to try make it accurate. At any rate, a realistic approach will only work in tandem with an enjoyable mechanic. Not to mention the "realism" itself can be abstractly represented, like the smithing for example. In the case of a wedge, it would make sense to build houses out of split wood. Generally speaking gathering the materials for straw and wedged wood would be equally time consuming, and you would still need a saw to unlock the crafting grid. In this case I see nothing overpowered, especially if the wedge has a low durability.
  24. Minecraft bought by Microsoft for 2.5 Billion dollars

    It was a little of hypocritical of notch to criticize Oculus rift's acquisition by facebook though. Once faced with that much money though who can blame him. At any rate it's very understandable to want to escape the massive pressure put on him.
  25. Torch Discussion

    There is one thing that almost everyone is overlooking.... Lava. The infinite source of light, only reserved for those brave enough to venture into the blue steel territory and place it amongst their beautiful wooden homes. I welcome the addition of burnable torches even thought it will probably give me great grief. At least lava has a good use now.
