      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. At this point in my Dwarf Fortress career, if all that takes me down is a tantrum spiral, I count it as a win.
  2. Sandboxing to kill time

    T'was already mentioned. I, too, looked at it a little while back, but I was less than impressed with it. I should look at it again, but I'm under some game overload. I picked up X3, which looks amazing: sort of an offline 'EVE'. Gnomoria looks alright, but I'm a staunch Dwarf Fortress-er, so I feel some loyalty to Tarn. I can appreciate that Gnomoria is more accessible, though, and it could bring in a new generation of gamers who enjoy complexity and challenge. Whenever I see these sandbox threads come up, I always think of Garry's Mod. I've looked at it so many times, but I've never played it. Has anyone any experience with this? I just don't get the premise, I suppose, though I might if I played it.
  3. A community which reinforces poor behavior inevitably collapses from within. I've watched good members take flack and then back away from the forums after trying to make them a more open and accepting place for new arrivals. I think, though, that Crysyn is making some good progress in this area. His post on the matter was very refreshing, and I think that it will serve as a strong foundation for the community which is bound to spring up around TFC2.
  4. So my world has begun to freeze over...

    The temp dropped to or below freezing. Happens periodically in spring.
  5. I'm feeling trollish

    *lifts thread's wrist and checks pulse* Hmmm... still alive. This troll, awkward as it was, seems to have worked... Gratz,
  6. Is there a purpose for this mod?

    Mods like TFC cater to a mature audience which prefers to set its own goals. The'endgame' content is whatever you make it. Whether there is some boss fight or cinematic available doesn't change the fact that you will one day achieve all your in-game goals and become bored. All that something like the ender dragon does is force you into a certain endgame scenario. Decide what your personal in-game goals are, and you'll have both a reason to play and an 'endgame' in mind.
  7. Coffee Snobs

    I'm the Nordic sort: I like cold weather, and I really enjoy the holidays. So, I like Peerless Coffee's cinnamon variety. It's cheap and delicious, a rare pairing in this world.
  8. Better Pets

    Don't know if RaustBlackDragon is still around, but he had the Doggy Talents mod. It is very close to what you are describing.
  9. Easy way to get lots of wood

    I really don't know. We need someone versed in the charcoal arts to enlighten us on this one, methinks.
  10. Time to remove placed logs

    I respect people who stand up for what they believe is right in spite of whatever power others may wield. If there's nothing to be ashamed of, then no one should feel insulted.
  11. Time to remove placed logs

    Failure to thoroughly read the OP crits you for 2000. The placed log blocks are not the same as log piles. And no one has to change the mod if it feels too personal. It was just an idea.
  12. Time to remove placed logs

    Failure to thoroughly read OP crits you for 2000. I like this idea. Endorsed.
  13. New Logpile GUI

    The fact that you have any say in the matter speaks to interesting dynamics in your family. *dons round eyeglasses and lights cigar*
  14. No Metals Generating from Surface Rocks?

    Yeah, it's worth mentioning that some areas just won't have metals in them. My homebase is in a flux zone (Limestone surface layer), so I had to walk quite a way (past the Tortoise Hills and Driftshield Tundra) to find my first ores. I just got them today, and I've been playing this world for a couple of in-game weeks now. It's just how my dice rolled. Felt good to find the sphalerite field, though. It's flipping ON, now.
  15. A small project: useful buildings with a neat design

    Poor willow. It gets such a bad rap for being such a useful tree. *pat, pat* There there. Seriously, though. In spite of the fact the tree grows like a weed and pollutes the entire area around it, it is an incredibly useful lumber. It's great for charcoal because of its fast growth rate, and it's also good for early buildings and sticks. Certainly, you'll probably want to go with another wood later on for aesthetic reasons (unless you're into the Bravil look [and kudos to those who know what I'm talking about]), but willow really is a great foundation for your tech tree. I like the way you're organizing this. Looks like fun.
