      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.

Deadly weather

5 posts in this topic

It seems to me that in vanilla mincraft or tfc 1 that weather isn't as deadly as it could be. For example but not limited to blizzards, hurricanes, dust storms, lightning storms, etc. If the devs decided to add a freezing or heat stroke system then for example rain gets you wet and causes you to freeze, or a blizzard reduces visibility and temp. to the point where you can't find your shelter and you freeze to death. I'm sure you get the point.

this could be tied in as part of a body temperature system-overheating and freezing. As well things like debris in very powerful storms might be a thing-although performance might be an issue there, and I have no idea how difficult it would be to code either, but i'm just throwing out ideas. Idk if boats will be implemented, but ocean storms could be very deadly if they are

I think debris could be implemented along with body temperature and not cause too much lag, though for a sand/dust storm not every particle of dust or sand could be defined

Like for a sleep overhaul, I think a weather overhaul maybe need to be an entirely external mod (like Localized Weather & Stormfronts mod). BUT maybe choosing a particular one and making compatibilities when possible (biome localization, annual monsoon, volcanic weather, sandstorm, plant growth impacts, what kind of block can be carried into tornados...).

An ex dev already did some coding for mechanisms like those in the past like heating a house during winter for better stamina via heating sources (torches, forge) or self stamina being affected by ambiant temperature. But sadly it has never been finished.
