      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. Peat as a fuel source

    I've also found peat on my swamp map, it can melt cassiterite at sea level with no problem. With a stack of 64 peat you can easily melt 2 full molds of tin. Peat is your friend. Altough I would like to see its stack size reduced.
  2. Official TFC Birthday Contest Thread

    DrkBlack's entry:http://imgur.com/a/nwFhu and the progress of making: http://imgur.com/a/5Dh2x Phew! It has been a pleasure posting my survival game, I really love the concept of TFC. When I first bought Minecraft I thought that the game was heading into the direction that TFC is heading now. Anyway, the pics I uploaded to shows the progress I made in two years (game years haha). The first link shows the current state of the valley. I've also uploaded the progress of transformation form a humble tavern to a fully walled outpost. The most important buildings are; The Wanderer's Chapel, White Bell Tower, The Golden Valkrie Tavern, The Exploding Creeper (Bloomery and the forge), Iron Golem Tower (Watchtower), Fertile Goddess Tower (Part barn, part grainary). The tavern itself was a small hut when I first settled in near the river bank that had cassiterite, and bismuth all over the place. With the incoming wealth from the precious metals the tavern itself begun to grow and expand. It is now serves as the center of the outpost and has multiple rooms for all your housing needs. After the first metal bloom the bloomery was built. It was just next to the tavern but now it is in the center of the housing part. The bloomery tower was named "The Exploding Creeper" since I was still having troubles with the locals. The Exploding creeper also has a kitchen, a forge, a metelurgy table and all your needs for heat, fire and blacksmithing. The White Bell tower was built after the tavern had expanded to the other side of the river. The granite required for the tower was extracted from the 2ond mine I started digging on the bell tower side of the river. It serves as a depot for all building materials. The Iron Golem Tower is just a watchtower overlooking to the delta of the river. It serves as a gate to the outside world since the river is the only way of importing precious ores and other exotic materials to the outpost. It's interior is still incomplete. Barn and the grainary tower was built when I decided to enclose the area, since agriculture has been growing exponentially I needed more storage for the plants and room for animals. Inside Wanderer's Chapel is the tomb of my first death (after a battle with a creeper, the stone engraving illustrates the battle I made with that certain creeper to settle in the valley). Also its still under construction, with a half done engraving at the oposite wall. The chisel lags were getting unbearable, in a way that was more harmfull than productive, so the construction is pending. I'm sorry for the long explanation part but there are still lots of things to explain. I just wanted to show the most important parts. The chisel work was done before the "blueprint update" so i guess I'll start a renaissance with the upcoming features now. I love how the game has made me evolve from "stone-age" to "middle-age". Also; HAPPY BIRTHDAY TFC!, stay awesome.
  3. Planks first toughts

    Well, i like how it currently is. I can't really complain about it being 1/8 of a surface, because it would cause too much trouble when placing them. Also if you are going to detail your house, burrow (or pit whatever) with single planks than you should be in a point where you have an axe and a tree farm. I think the current placement method is really under estimated.
  4. Maybe glaze could be made by grinding minerals that are currently useless. Throw a bunch of minerals in the quern and then grind it nicely untill it becomes a glaze powder. Craft the glaze powder and unglazed ceramic item togather to make a ... glazed wet (?) ceramic item and than bake it again. This may seem like too much work but actually it would be pretty easy to make. I bet you could make tons of jugs or mugs to store food or edibles by this method and a furnace.
