      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. Ocean Tides

    In the earliest stages of history, many tribes considered their homelands to be like living beings. Old man mountain might be akin to a grumpy old man, remote and rugged, and likely to grouch at any moment, whereas a lush river delta might be more like a loving mother caring for her children. In short, the land was as dynamic as those that roamed it. To this end, for those that lived along the coast, there was nothing more dynamic than the rise and fall of the tides. A tide could was away the old and bring in the new, it could open route to adventure or seal off an island from the mainland. A tide is the difference between fish schooling over a submerged reef, or the same reef gasping at the sky. But how to get it to work. My idea would be to over-write the top 4-6 layers of ocean blocks with new tidal blocks during world generation. The tidal block would be a two(+) state block where one behaved like air, and the other like normal sea water. The server would keep track of tide height, and loaded chunks could flip the state of tidal blocks at the appropriate layer. At high tide the sea might lap near the top of the beach, while low tide might expose great swathes of usually submerged land. Biggest pain I can think of is when you get into arctic waters where the sea starts to freeze over in winter. Flipping the state on a layer is one thing, but having to sort through and move ice blocks up and down is going to start chewing a few more resources. Potentially though, you can still dodge around that, for example, by dictating that the highest tides are at the equator, and tidal effect dwindles away to nothing by the time you get to an area that freezes. As such, at the equator, tides would range +-3 blocks from the middle of the 6 layers of tidal blocks, while farther north you would have +-2 or +-1 until you got to the no change region, where no tidal blocks would be changing state at all. The whole thing would look a lot smoother if you used partial blocks (same vibe as stacked charcoal) in conjunction with tide height, but that'd probably be more of a performance issue. Any thoughts?
  2. The purpose of this thread is to keep an updated log of topics covered in the suggestion pages, to help people find topics, andhelp keep information together. There is already one by Kittychanley but it hasn't been updated in some time. To find something, go to the category and expand the spoiler. The categories will be in alphabetical order and some may have sub categories. Some topics may find themselves under more than one category which is fine while others may not be included due to it falling under another topic. Topics will be evaluated by content on first page. It can be hard to know if your idea is close enough to a topic to be added to that idea. When indoubt skim closely related topics to see if it would fit in with the flow and then decide. If it fits into multiple categories your idea may need refining. A new topic should have no less than around 200 words. If you can explain it in less than there's probably already a topic it could fall under. If you can't find your topic using this directory then do a search by going to the suggestions directory, navigate to the top right of the page and select "This Forum".As always thank you for being polite and follow the rules outlined in this forum.

  3. Islands? Basic systems here?

    Alright, so I'vescoured the forums and can't seem to find much comprehensive information. Could someone kindly provide more information as to the following?: 1. What is the island system? This is very confusing, as I see it mentioned constantly but find no thread explaining anything. 2. Are there any basic systems predicted/in place, such as food, mining, crafting, etc and if so, what are they?
