      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.

    Also from the link I provided: Once the jar is opened, sugar incapacitates any microorganisms by its ability to attract water. Itgenuinely is the high sugar content that acts as the main method of preservation in jams. Also when making jams at home there is no need to add pectins - they are contained naturally in the fruits. I have never used pectin when making jams at home, and follow a recipe similar to this :http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/simple_blackcurrant_jam_77904 Note that there is no mention of using any freezing method in this recipe, and the lemon juice is added for the acidity - which could also be included in any jam recipes in TFC2. In terms of the percentages, usually when making jam you use equal amounts of fruit and sugar, as the fruits contain sugars naturally. In that sense you could think of it as 50% pure sugar + 15% fruit sugars (fructose) I completely understand if jams are something you don't want to be added to TFC2, and would never try to force you to include something in your mod that you don't want. However there is no real reason to disregard jams as a method of preservation on the basis of believably alone. Jams have been used since the middle ages, with some evidence to suggest it was used in the ancient Roman times. As I said before though, it is yours and Bioxx's mod, and if you don't want to include it then that's fine. I just think it would make a very nice addition considering the changes to the food system
  2. I cannot express how much I love this idea! Thaumcraft and TFC are two of my favourite mods and it'd be awesome to combine the two! From what I've seen so far it seems very well balanced, and the thaumic anvil is a very nice touch! Many thanks for all your hard work on this! It's going to be a lot of fun to try out Also - I'm really sorry to hear about your computer I hope the rest of the move went okay and you're a bit more settled now

    On the topic of jams, I believe it is the high sugar content that actually preserves the fruit, not the canning process itself. Essentially the high sugar content in the jam draws out water in any the bacteria through osmosis, dehydrating them so they cannot multiply and cause decay. More info can be found on this site :http://www.sugar.org/all-about-sugar/sugar-in-jellies-and-preserves/. If you have ever grown your own fruit/made your own jams you'll have seen this - if you pick fresh fruit it generally won't last very long, even in the fridge. Making jam takes around an hour, and can last for a good few months when kept in a cool place, even though it was never vacuum sealed in a jar. In that sense I believe making jams would be a really good method of preserving fruit in TFC2. It would require at least an equal amount of sugar to make, and some kind of pot to cook it in, possibly over a campfire, as suggested above, or by using a different not-yet-implemented method of cooking. They could be stored in glass jars, topped with some kind of cloth/burlap, and tied up with wool yarn to make traditional jam jars. It would also be nice to be able to store jars decoratively, on jam shelves or something similar, although I'm getting slightly off topic now.. Overall I really believe that jams would make a very effective, believable method of preserving fruit in TFC2, and would love to see it implemented at some point
