      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. The weird side of YouTube

    It's this mod. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92471077Also, more http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzU_fsUYG5I.
  2. But this means that player progress will be linear, which is not exactly what it's supposed to be in TFC.I actually can't think of feature that doesn't involve stuffing yourself, your cattle or your crops with the shrooms, but why it can't be this way?
  3. Tree growth speed/size

    Nature overhaul did this the hard way, I think. What can be done is mechanic similar to the growing grass, but with few restrictions in regards to sapling spawning conditions. This is what I meant when said that trees required to be rewritten from the ground. And as it seems to be the easy way (not programming-wise necessarily) to handle season changes, I'm all for that. The sad part is that trees overhaul could make it impossible to place log blocks. I quite like how support-ish they look like.
  4. Astral Movement

    The whole idea was based on not needing to craft anything to navigate the world effectively. I am able to tell where north is without anything like compass just by looking at the sun. The thing is - when you traveling large distances, which I do very often, with maps you need to stop and craft a map, and hold on to quite a few of them. Or you could follow the star. Yes, they are, although I think moon itself is a sprite pinned to the celestial sphere. What can be done is make existing sphere transparent with exception of sun and moon and add a second celestial sphere, which would be somewhat static and hold stars on itself at night. I have no idea how minecraft works with this code-wise and if there any hooks for this in forge.EDIT: Or just make so skybox doesn't move at all and it's the sun and moon who moves. Which could be doable as there're definitely some sort of coordinates for moon to be on and they can be changed dynamically.
  5. The weird side of YouTube

    This'll do.
  6. If you were a egg what color would you be?

    That's not true. Color resembles the lightwave lenght that particular object deflects. Other lenghtes are absorbed. White object deflects all lenghts, black object don't deflect a thing. And since ultraviolet egg does not send your eyes any laightwaves they can react to (if you're not that reverse-daltonic person), the object you see will be black. Now, this doesn't mean this egg will not emit light when heated to accordingly high temperature.
  7. I didn't think this way, actually. I just wondered if I did something wrong.
  8. Astral Movement

    The main thing about this is the ability to navigate through oceans without having to craft anything like maps or compasses. The devices should make it easier, not making it the only way to do this. On the land we have natural landmarks, like rivers and mountains, on the ocean biomes we have only occasional tiny islands and very rare pieces of actual settleable land.
  9. I was referring to this part: Maybe I just don't know English well enough.
  10. Project gnh20

    I don't really know your definition of fun in regards to this type of games. From what I can tell being a massive noob in gnh20 myself, it's heavily based on exploration and figuring out what the hell you're supposed to do. And since it's roguelike, there's perma-death, you will die a lot in this game, and there's a lot of starting over. The world itself is quite interesting and the charming part is that most of the creatures don't care about you and mind their own business - mining, building, crafting, praying, hunting and planting asplosions.And knowing that in Terraria multiplayer is a huge part of the fun experience, I warn that there's no multiplayer of any kind and probably won't be one since it's turn-based.
  11. I didn't say you can'n learn it either. And I think I provoked some sort of negative reaction, why that is?
  12. I honestly don't think physics is difficult to learn. In physics it's all makes sense and built up on simple theses. History does not makes sense all the time to me, I find the only way to learn it is to memorise the dates. And paralleling dates with something, trying to find relations and intervals, maybe.
  13. Cubic Chunks in TFC

    Well, maybe they will at some point, but we still can't rely on them to do something that we want, and they don't necessarily.
  14. Tree growth speed/size

    This will require trees to be rewritten from the ground. The main concern from gameplay point is that this will possibly lead to deforesting huge areas in wait for the planted trees to grow back as we all need a lot of wood to progress. I'd say couple of days (as it is right now) is too fast, but couple of years seems way too slow. Also in regards to kapok and sequoia saplings bioxx said that he could allow us to grow tiny trees, but he did not to raise the awareness of this types of wood being unrenewable resourse.
  15. Remove F3

    I am not feeling free enough to start suggestion thread due to how shy am I. This is not for asking for skydome to be changed - it's rather to state that I'm not okay with bloking coordinates from being seen in the game staying the way it is right now.
  16. Remove F3

    Yes, I am aware of that. Proper stars require to make existing skydome transparent, with exception for sun and moon, and add second static skydome that changes once per 12 in-game hours. I am pretty sure that sunrises and sunsets aren't parts of skydome so they don't need to be changed at all. That's still base classes changing though.
  17. If you were a egg what color would you be?

    Ultraviolet and infrared are black, you know.
  18. Rip-off?!

    I do not agree that original is always better. Original idea that strikes your head is actually never good and you should iterate on it several times, hatch for a bit, leave it, do some stuff, come back, see what the blazes you've done to it and reiterate it again. And then it might be good. Unless it was bad to begin with.
  19. Remove F3

    You actually can follow water ripples to keep the straight line along the row of blocks, but there's almost nothing to tell you if you need to turn and when do you need to turn, if island you're looking for is not on the same row. I'm not saying you can't still adapt if coordinates were removed, but in this case addition of meaningful stars would be very nice to aid with navigation. That's how our ancestors navigated before compasses were a thing and maps were unwritten. And there's no need to make stars into constellations as players can do this themselves - just make so the bloody thing doesn't move around.
  20. Redstone (And How It Should Work)

    And a lemon. Every good battery needs a lemon.
  21. Remove F3

    This will work, but not always. As I said, on our seed there's bloody huge ocean in between, where there's no mountains. And while you still could refer to patches of basalt on the bottom, they are not that common and I actually can't remember if there is something like that on the way home from spawn.
  22. Gem Cutting

    Silly me. I am sorry, it was 4 in the morning.EDIT: It's not movement though, the process is somewhat similar to the Big Bang.As for energy problem, it didn't solved either. They said that IF (the big one) we can harness a Casimir effect, it could provide us with negative energy density field, but energy yield of it isn't nearly as big as we want it to be to use as propellant principle. And half of this effect actually quantum ones and will break either of Einstein's relativity theories should we try to describe this effects with them.
  23. Gem Cutting

    Wait, what? Einstein specifically said that everything in this universe moves at exact speed of c through the space-time in relation to the specified reference system. One does not say something moves faster than c and base this statement off of Relativity theory.As for warp drive, it must be based on negative energy density field of sorts, which bends space-time by extending it from one side and compressing from another, so you can move while you're not moving and thus not interfering with Einstein at all. But this is only theoretical, and estimated density of enegry that must be removed is somewhere near the equivalent of couple of Jupiters for the purpose of propelling a thing the size of a car. So yeah. And why would you want to cut jems anyway? You pound them in mortar, mix with a bit of mayonnaise and then apply the substance all over your face. Rune magic, gentlemen.
  24. More Clay and Reusable Ceramic molds

    On the colored clay: As of now white clay patches are fairly noticeable on hillsides and pond bottoms. I've even excavated it from the bottom of the ocean once. Now, if there's matching clay for every type of soil (not exactly matching, maybe, but whatever) wouldn't it make clay harder to find? And if we're keeping current texture, why would clay drop in different colours then?
  25. On the topic of Random Drops

    I think it is about Flowerchild's practice to ban those who post suggestions on his forum. But I'm not sure. This one might fit, I didn't see the other statements.
