A while back Kitty said multiple times that water was not necessary for farming (Sorry, I cannot find the post). Is this still true, ad the wiki states, "important access to water" when discussing the use of soil. In the change log archive for Build 0.73 it says, "Water saturation is no longer tracked. A mechanic similar to vanilla is now in place where not having water nearby confers a negative bonus to growth speed." However, in her posts Kitty made it sound like there are no negative effects. Build 0.79 also introduced drainage and pH systems that effect taste (At least they were supposed to, don't know if it works or not). How do these systems actually effect taste? Do we want Low Alkalinity, neutral, or Acidic? (Probably the foremost, but I could be wrong). There is a penalty for crops being to cold (death), but is there one for crops being to hot? In my experience, there is not, but why? It would encourage trade between villages, similar to sugarcane. **If your wondering why the OP for this is a wall of questions instead of answers, when the title says answers, I plan on updating this once I know the answers. Overall, I am just curious about this system, especially as it is a major factor in (the beginning of) TFC.

1. I was, in the hotfixes for 2.5 Journeymap was removed by mistake, will be re-added in 2.6 2. Volcano generation is being tweaked, personally, I have not seen any without a large amount of exploring, removing the mod will be fine on your client, the volcanoes cover terrain, they don't destroy it 3. Air quality is currently be tweaked, it was not meant to decrease so rapidly.

Personally, I think something similar to this should be implemented, especially with the whole load order problem and the fact that you cannot prospect for ores added in the config

------Decided to make better use of this space----- Here's a little teaser. Also grabbed my statement from a discussion on FTB forums: Current situation on ore doubling: 1) I can not changeanyEA recipes unless they occur in the crafting grid. 2) TFC is fairly specific on how much ore you get when mining. Having an extraction process to get more ore out of a single cubic meterwouldmake sense, however you have already mined the ore and removed the stone from it, therefore it makes little to no sense to make another attempt at extraction. Possibly when more advanced mining machines are added, I'll add something that gets you more ore out of them, but, no promises on that one.

IF you crash while playing, and the crash report says something along the lines of: at com.bioxx.tfc.WorldGen.Generators.WorldGenMinable.BODgenerateVein(WorldGenMinable.java:311)at com.bioxx.tfc.WorldGen.Generators.WorldGenMinable.createMine(WorldGenMinable.java:113)at com.bioxx.tfc.WorldGen.Generators.WorldGenMinable.generate(WorldGenMinable.java:145)at com.bioxx.tfc.WorldGen.Generators.WorldGenOre.createOreVein(WorldGenOre.java:167)at com.bioxx.tfc.WorldGen.Generators.WorldGenOre.oreSmallVein(WorldGenOre.java:70)at com.bioxx.tfc.WorldGen.Generators.WorldGenOre.generate(WorldGenOre.java:59)then delete TFCOre.cfgI am aware of the crash, and have even submitted a hotfix for it, FTB has yet to push it.

Currently, it will not snow in winter. The mod author has agreed to fix this issue already.

AFAIK, those do not have any processing recipes in TFC, and I am unable to add any. Either way, I will be using custom blocks for aesthetic purposes.

You can also use Minetweaker with Modtweaker to do this. I have already begun to work on this for the next update for my pack, I'll also create a thread and post the scripts there (when they are done, of course, it is a slow veryslowprocess).

Yes, I was talking about the the green triangles and red circles, it's probably from another mod like Weather 2.

For the future update(s), I will be removing all native, non-TFC mod ore gen. Quadrum was added in update 2.5.0 for the purpose of creating custom blocks and items. For each non-TFC ore that is required, I will be creating a block (there will need to be multiple blocks for each ore due to stone variant it will spawn in, why I requested a feature/expansion like this) and using them for all world gen. Because of this, (unless this breaks as well,) the world gen issue should be fixed in the next update. Also, @kitty, Is this from TFC? If it is, I assume that it handles the equatorial changes? And for the TFC API, I know a mod dev who wanted to hook into it to make changes to the players hunger and thirst meters, but he could not find the functions within the API, do they exist?

The world gen crash will be fixed in the next update, as will the extra information on tools.

Already have sent fixes for those issues to FTB, so when they update (2.5.2), everything should be working.

Pushed hotfix 2.5.1, removes minetweaker recipe maker. to join the server, you must disable or delete to connect to the public server

There is a public server, it should already be listed in your client. IF not, the ip is mc.darkserver.co.uk Glad you enjoy the pack, I've talked with the author of the weather mod, and he has agreed to fix it. Tray installing fastcraft and/or FPS++, both should help with lag issues.

If your still interested in doing textures for Weather 2, I believe the necessary files can be found in CoroUtil-1.1.jarassetsextrentedrenderertexturesparticles.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info, I will ask the mod author of Weather 2 if it would be possible to change that, and hopefully that fixes this snow issue. Thanks for all the help Kitty, it's nice to have devs that actually respond

@kittey: public static boolean canSnow(World world, int x, int y, int z) { if(TFC_Climate.getHeightAdjustedTemp(world, x, y, z) <= 0) return true; return false; } @Override public boolean canPlaceBlockAt(World world, int i, int j, int k) { Block block = world.getBlock(i, j - 1, k); if (block == TFCBlocks.Ice) return false; if (block == TFCBlocks.Leaves || block == TFCBlocks.Leaves2) return true; if (World.doesBlockHaveSolidTopSurface(world, i, j-1, k)) return true; return false; } @Override public boolean canSnowAt(int x, int y, int z, boolean checkLight) { if (TFC_Climate.getHeightAdjustedTemp(worldObj,x, y, z) > 0) return false; Material material = worldObj.getBlock(x, y, z).getMaterial(); if (material == Material.snow) // avoid vanilla MC to replace snow return false; if(TFCBlocks.Snow.canPlaceBlockAt(worldObj, x, y, z) && material.isReplaceable()) return true; return false; } Why do all of these return false? I've been reading the code and cannot figure out why these return true. (I only have a very basic understanding of Java, so I apologize if this is a stupid question). Also, in TFCProvider.java, Material.snow is used (in place of Blocks.snow?), would changing this to Blocks.snow or changing Weather2 to use Material.snow (github) fix the lack of snow placement?

Disable mipmapping and antioscopic filtering, it fixes that bug

Cool, thanks. Going to go ahead and ask the Weather 2 author for direct support, hopefully things will be fixed.

I mean, does TFC have any specific rules for it being placed? I.E. if you see snow falling, can snow form on the ground?

I always try to test the version out fully before updating. Also, on the topic of snow, does TFC do anything special with it? The weather2 fix I made seems to have been a fluke, and I'm curious if there's anything I can do to re-fix it.
