      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. A more complex iron age.

    PlotVitalNPC replied to WalrusJones's topic in Suggestions

    From a realistic standpoint, Iron should only be a tier above bronze from the perspective of the urgency of action and commonality of materials. You don't need to worry about melting it on the forge, don't need to alloy anything, and don't need to have access to copper and other stuff. That's really the only reason adoption of iron happened at first in bronze using societies, because it allowed independance from the copper-tin trade routes, and allowed them to use metal reliably instead of most of their tools still being stone or copper.. The stats would, realistically, even favor bronze slightly in usage, and the iron would have the additional problem (which would just be a pain to represent) of destructive rather than preservative corrosion, as iron oxides are oxygen permeable unlike copper oxides, which after forming prevent any deeper corrosion of the metal.
