  1. Hello everybody. I started playing TerraFirmaCraft a few weeks ago and there is one thing that i didn't like- calculating what sizes and quantities of ores you need to smelt to make an alloy. It is a real pain especially if you are smelting in bulks or you're just simply bad at math. That's why for the past few weeks I've been coding an app that helps you to optimize smelting of your ores. This is my first app i have ever created and it runs on android. Here is the app on google play, where you can see the screenshots and download the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jam.alloyoptimizer The usage is really simple, and its all explained in the help in the app. Simply click the menu button on your device and choose help. Unfortunately it only runs on android. The app is still in its alpha mode which means that it contains bugs, but they will be fixed as soon as you report them. Also, as its very difficult for the app to do its job with a vessel, that mode is disabled for now. I will finish it when i have time. For now you can try to use the crucible mode and try to make the result only take 4 spots(thats the difficulty I'm having problems with). Upcoming features in order: 1. The app will try to variate ratios you have given until a proper result is given 2.A button that turns on/of the resources. Its useful when you don't mind looking for resources to make a specific alloy, or if you have all the resources in the world 3.Vessel mode Let me know what you think and if there are any problems with it
  2. App that helps you with smelting

    I am currently swamped with my studies, but after some thinking i decided that priority is going to be set based on how much of an ore instance you have in comparison to whats needed. This is to avoid making the user interface too complicated. So when you don't have to worry which material to save- it will be done for you. When is released, i will explain(in the help tab) a technique that can be used to somehow affect which material is going to be saved. Nevertheless, i still have a lot of stuff to do in real life so don't expect this update to be coming out any time soon.
  3. Deadly bismuth bronze tfc

    Do you have any kinds of nuggets? I have an app that will do all this but i requires some variation in the ore types. Without nuggets i only got a solution for 5 ingots: 13 Normal Copper 4 Normal Zinc 5 Poor Bismuth This will fit in a vessel even in double amounts
  4. Crops growing and Year length

    Did you plant the crops on naturally spawned soil? If you place dirt manually to make a nicely shaped farm, its ingredients are going to be completely depleted. You must plant on dirt that was there when you came or put down the dirt and wait a year or so for the ingredients in it to replenish.
  5. Meat amount from an animal

    Hello there. It seems to me like there is something very wrong with the amount of meat you get from an animal. For an entire YEAR(default length) i lived off of maybe 12 pheasants. And meat has been pretty much the main ingredient for all of my meals most of the time. This means that if you kill a cow, you will get enough meat to last you a few years, and by few i mean like 5 or 6 if not more. This makes any type of animal farm useless, as you can just venture out and kill 1 deer to last you for at least a year, and there is tons of deer everywhere. I don't know about you but if i killed a cow in real life, i would last me a few months tops(but i would have to eat at least a kilogram every day). Or maybe a year. So my suggestion is to cut the meat drop rate by 4. I know it will be much less meat than it would be in reality, but it would make animal farms a little bit more useful.
  6. Meat amount from an animal

    Obviously you haven't read the first post. I posted that animals drop too much meat, not that the decay is too slow.
  7. Tofu and Soymilk

    Haha, i really have to start reading what sites say. It says substitute for dairy. Sorry
  8. Meat amount from an animal

    I am pretty good at trimming the food, so it basically lasts forever. I didn't really take into consideration that this mod is designed for multiplayer, that explains a lot. But it still seems too much. I understand that the drop amount may be configured for several people, but it still doesn't seem right when 6 people eat a cow for a year. Of course, animals like cows drop a ton of meat, but then you should also take into account that a year in the game is much shorter than in real life.
  9. Tofu and Soymilk

    Actually I also wondered if its dairy or protein, and I looked it up. It counts as dairy
  10. Tofu and Soymilk

    This is actually nice, i would add some variation to the dairymaking, because as of now, there is only normal cheese that you can make to fill up the dairy "nutrient"
  11. App that helps you with smelting

    I actually could use some input on a conceptual problem I'm having. This will be used in both vessel and crucible mode. I would really appreciate some new ideas. The problem: When you use the app, you must give it a ratio- this is actually preferred ratio and it can change. This ratio will change if its not possible to find a fitting combination of materials for it. So basically the app will tamper with the ratio until it succeeds. But I would like the users to be able to decide how the app modifies the ratio. I want the user to say to the app that he rather wants copper to get higher and other metals lower. This is important when for example making Black Steel. You definitely do not want the garnierite to get higher since its rare, but you don't mind the other stuff to be used. Or maybe you are very lucky and you spawned in a giant garnierite heaven and you want to save other stuff. Please tell me your ideas! They will very likely make it to the app.
  12. How big are your veins?

    I was wondering the same thing and i found a great answer here : https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090304132741AAXUCrs
  13. Sticks

    It would be nice if they could be stacked on the ground like logs but instead of 4 stacks of 16, maybe 4 stacks of 64. I don't know if it can be done in real life, but you might also be able to use the piles in the charcoal pit(of course with lesser charcoal gain). 2 very easy things to implement that completely solve this problem.
  14. App that helps you with smelting

    The new version of this app is now available in google store. The app is pretty straight forward to use, and also there is help if something is going wrong. Let me know what you think.
  15. App that helps you with smelting

    A little update on the project. I didn't have much time lately but i did some coding. The vessel mode is pure madness, i haven't been able to make it work yet. Therefore, i will be releasing the new version without the vessel mode. It will be visible, but it will do nothing. Of course i'm planning to finish it, but for now its not that important. If you need to optimize your vessel alloys, use this: http://terrafirmacraft.com/f/topic/5774-alloy-calculator/ Luckily enough, this site and my app will complete each other for the time being. Mine doesn't have vessel mode, his doesn't have crucible mode
  16. Rocksalt - a world without any?

    Its possible to spawn even at 3k from equator, i think, or i was looking at the wrong coordinate. But it wasnt the case on my world and if its true that chickens only spawn there, then indeed i need to travel further.
  17. Rocksalt - a world without any?

    I gave up on chickens after i searcher a perimeter with 3k block radius. Also, what really annoys me is that even though animals are really rare, they always, ALWAYS spawn next to those darn bears. Literally every place there are animals, there are bears. I had to go to unloaded areas and kill all of them to transport the animals.
  18. Rocksalt - a world without any?

    I travelled 20k just to make the world generate
  19. Rocksalt - a world without any?

    I traveled about 3k blocks with a boat to find rock salt and kaolnite. Some things are really hard to find in TFC.
  20. Optifine

    I think that was before optifine went into mods folder. Now its fine just the way it is.
  21. Is this a bug?

    Hi there. I was doing a few things at the same time while i was preparing to build my bloomery and i shift clicked in a bronze ingot into my crucible where i was getting my bronze from. This is what happened: http://imgur.com/nuft0bG Bronze is made from copper and tin, so shouldn't adding bronze to that crucible just melt it and not wreck all the metal in it?
  22. Optifine

    I think you just put i in the mods folder. Make sure you have the right version, for minecraft 1.6.4
  23. App that helps you with smelting

    Here is a little pre-taste of whats comming. http://imgur.com/JKJeB54 http://imgur.com/qdHGBI0 When it comes to GUI, there's only the result that i have left to do. It will some time to write the algorithm to fit the vessels and crucibles requirements, but i will happen eventually. What you see is the Vessel mode and the Crucible mode. You choose the alloy you want and it only displays materials that fit for the alloy. Then you press the buttons that correspond to each type of ore/ingot and you enter how much of that material you have, Then press optimize and its done. It will display exactly what materials to use to get the alloy you want without any loss of metal. The vessel is quite limited because of its 4 spaces, so it may be very hard to find the right combination of ores if you don't have variation so there may be some tips on what to collect to make it work or how many ingots you can actually make at a time. Please let me know what you think of the future layout and if there is anything unclear with it.
  24. Invisible pigs and broken chickens

    It was only a test world, i deleted it shortly after. That was my only encounter of chickens
  25. Invisible pigs and broken chickens

    I had the same problem with chicken on a newly created world. No modifications, fresh world
