[Answered] Potable water and world generation.

[tyriael-soban 12]

Have you read, understood, and followed all of the rules listed in large text at the top of the support forum? (Yes/No): Yup TFC Version #: 0.79.24.816Forge Version #:  10.13.4.1448SSP/SMP (SinglePlayer/MultiPlayer): ssp Have you deleted your config files or are using default configs and are still able to reproduce this bug? (Yes/No): yes, and fresh reinstall of all related files. Do you have any mods other than Forge and TFC installed? (Yes/No): yesIf yes, which mods? waila, journeymap, fastcraft  If you have Optifine or Cauldron installed, can you still reproduce the bug after uninstalling them? (Yes/No): I dont use those mods anymore, optifine is a joke and i learned about Cauldron after Fastcraft and i use the latter because its more compatible with most of the modpacks i play. Description: I have two questions; they're somewhat related to each other and i believe i have encountered a bug in one case but i am unsure.The first one; is it me, or has the world generator developed a sense of humor?I've had several worlds in the last two days (i have had horrible luck finding basic metals in sufficient quantities to produce tools) and over the course of these two days i've lost count of how many worlds ive generated, but at least two of them have; spawned me at the bottom of a ravine with no clear path of exit, while three more have spawned me at the top of trees that have either killed me or left me with less than 100 hp when jumping off.Secondly; is there a problem with the world generating fresh water?Today i spawned in a basalt biome - here is me thinking i've got a decent world where i can actually have a chance to find everything i need to make basic metal tools, when i started to get thirsty (and this is also where i screwed up, in a sense), i ran to a nearby pool that should of contained fresh water (it had reeds in it! although i noticed that none of the ponds nearby had the right color on journeymap, it shows fresh and salt water as lighter/darker colors respectively) , i tried to drink from the pool and nothing happened, i spent a good 15 mins running around to what should of been every fresh water pond in range and for the life of me i couldn't get water from any of them, this isnt the first time its happened either - i had one where i spawned in a marble-surfaced biome and once again, could not drink from any ponds - though in both cases i screwed up and deleted the world files before i realized that i might of hit something significant. Edit;Also, for some odd reason ... i cannot post a screenshot, it keeps telling me that i've exceeded some kind of limit. (46kb of 500kb upload?)edited, wrong category of game mode. (SSP, not SMP)

Worldgen is RNG. Although encountering a world with barely any starting resources is really rare.

There is a bug where for some reason you can't drink water, relogging fixes it. Be sure you are targeting a block facing water. Water has no hitbox. If all else fails and you are certain that it is fresh, then test by cheating in a jug. I have not encountered or heard of any jug bugs.

Remember to hold the button to drink with your hands on water

When you say, "Relog" i assume you mean; end the program and start it again?

That seemed to work for others. Never encountered the issue myself.
