I feel the need to create this thread so we can discuss the memories of we had here at the TerraFirmaCraft forums. Not just the good ones, the bad ones, as well. The reason for suggesting the remembrance of the bad memories is so we can learn from them, and do our best to ensure that such a disaster will never happen, again. As for the good memories, remember all of those times we derailed before the derail crackdown? Remember the Name Me thread? Remember the Holmesian Event (I don't know if that derail constitutes as bad or good, could someone please clarify?)? Remember our silliness and fun we had in the Off-Topic section? I'm not sure about the Discussion and Suggestion threads, but I figure we had a sort of good time there, as well. Let's discuss our memories, good and bad, so we can learn from them.

Now I will go straight to the point. I played Terrafirmacraft for a long time. I couldn't play vanilla minecraft anymore! Yesterday I came back after half a year break of minecraft in general. And I thought to myself "let's play as someone with no experience and as a general casual player." So I did exactly that. Here is what I thought. First things first: I went to the wiki to install the game, saw good and clear installation instruction. +1 for that. Then I proceeded to make myself a new game! But the seed I wanted seemed to not load the world at all and led to a crash. Then I started just a random world. Loading to infinity and then crashing! (I have a powerful computer so not related to performance issues) A third attempt worked! I was finally able to play Terrafirmacraft! Nope. Spawned in an ocean biome. Alright ... I started swimming for 5 minutes then just went away and deleted the world. New world! Crash. new world! It works! Maybe this time I'll be able to play Terrafirmacraft! Nope. Spawns in an ocean. Another 10 minutes of swimming: deleted world. (Still envious to play Terrafirmacraft) New world! It works! I spawn in an ocean but I see the shore! 1 minute of swimming is acceptable right? So I start swimming. As I get closer to the shore, I get an immense lag spike and the game crashes. I load back in. and find a huge part of the ocean floor I was standing on had collapse leading to an incredible amount of blocks moving that had crashed the game. Weird, but still eager to play Terrafirmacraft! I got to the shore! Now time to get clay, veggies, hunt an animal, gather branches, rocks,thatch. I am playing Terrafirmacraft! The night comes quickly and with it hostile mobs of course. And not just a few hostile mobs. A lot of mobs. A fuckton of hostile mobs. So many I couldn't do anything at all. Died. Started over! Not a problem ... right? All night I just sat in the water. Then the morning came! Now let's do it quickly: gathered a bit of food, bit ofthatch and rocks to quickly make a little hut. Then the night came and with it the mob nightmare party. Waited in the hut cooking for 15 minutes. Then I realized: the whole experience until that very point was insanely boring. I just hope the devs realize that the early game in it's current state is not fun at all to say the least. Mobs spawn in way too many numbers and the game is unstable to an almost unplayable point. Now I know the team is small. The project is huge and expectations are high. I know it is not easy. I am just reporting the gameplay as a new player would. I think this mod is the greatest mod ever made for minecraft and I know changes will be made. But for now don't expect many new players. They'll get scared to death.A few suggestions: add a "no rush 1 hour" or something regarding hostile mobs. Or decrease the spawn rate or link it to the player experience amount. You could also make beds skip the night, I don,t see what would be the problem with that regarding realism andbelievability. Please no fanboy flame (I am a fanboy myself), don't give me survival tips and tricks I know them all. Constructive criticism.

Hello all! I have a SMP server. So I updated TFC to build 76. But I wanted to keep the map. But it is kind of getting troublesome. There are a lot of item ID issues. Like, all of our TFC planks were turned into handmills and plans are now sprindles. Metal nuggets were converted into lava filled blue steel buckets and such... Well, that's not much of a big deal, to be honest. But the real problem is, all the animals(friendly mobs) are gone. Not sure what's happening, but those entities instantly get ignored by the server. When I try to load new chunks, this happens. Take a look: http://puu.sh/2uwog http://puu.sh/2uw19 It's gamebreaking, any ideas? :[
