      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. Useless items are really annoying.

    Though I have no idea what alcohol is good for right now, aside from making cheese and things like that, but thanks for the information.
  2. Why couldn't there be an option to disable useless items? I made myself glass bottles because I ASSUMED you could put water in them and drink it, because that would make sense, but it turns out they are completely useless. Why are there so many useless items in TFC? Because this is not the first time something like that happened to me, it's annoying.
  3. Finding rock for flux

    There are two tips that make it a tiny bit easier: 1. Rock Salt has veins of flux bearing stone. 2. If you find malachite, then there is a marble layer under the top layer.
  4. Less F3(another suggestion based on assumptions)

    Well they are much more common in vanilla MC at any rate. Like 30% of lakes have them and large lakes and rivers(which don't really seem to exist in TFC) pretty much alway have them. My "house" is at a very large lake and no reeds there. That still leaves iron being extremely hard to get...for vanilla standards... So is that where my post goes? Can I at least have approval for the fir cone rainfall-meter?
  5. Less F3(another suggestion based on assumptions)

    I've come to know TFC as a mod that is hardly compatible with anything because of it's unique concepts and completely changed mechanics, because of which I didn't install anything. I'm not a modpack perosn, I just gather together a bunch I like after having tested some thoroughly, that's why I didn't add in a better maps mod right away, I thought it would make sense to adapt cartography like you adapted, well, absolutely everything else to fit the TFc world, oh well. And no, I did not confuse them, but...maybe your mod does. I am at the edge of the dry zone, rainfall JUST high enough for clay to appear and pretty far in the north(avg temp is 9°C according to F3) and the sugarcane grows just fine and is all over the place...well crazy slow, but mid autumn it should be ready and I think sugarcane grows slowly everywhere. However, there is not a single plant of reeds in a huge radius...I assume after having travelled a very large distance by boat and having searched the land for bismuth and zinc(tin is surprisingly impractical)
  6. Less F3(another suggestion based on assumptions)

    I want to get a 100% TFC experience before I do anything like that and the problem is not that vanilla maps are useless to begin with, even though they are pretty useless, TFC nerfs their usefulness a great deal by forcing players to travel much further without finding anything of use and making them REALLY hard to craft. I mean you need reeds, which require 1000+rainfall apparently, wrough iron, which is mid-game and redstone, which can be very hard to find. I know minimap/better maps mod would fix it, but I felt like it would make more sense for TFC to fix the issue it created rather than relying on the player picking up external mods. Also I think minimaps, at leats free ones are definitely cheating. Especially if they come with endless-reach waypoints, mob detection and global map and all that like most do.
  7. While TFC is a very immersive mod, but what constantly throws me off is the necessity to constantly hit F3. Where is my house? F3 Where is north? It rain, I can't. F3 Am I north or south? F3 Dry zone. Am I moving towards or away from wet zone? F3 Does plant X reliably grow here? F3 (or just live at the center of the world) Can I theoretically find animal X here? F3 Having to look up things on F3 happens in Minecraft too, but it's really rare and almost completely avoidable. There are just way less variables to consider, maps are easy to make and pretty powerful, compasses are a thing. I really only need F3 to locate chunks for Thaumcraft and things like that. Now I don't know if any of this will still matter in TFC2 because as far as I know you want to drop the idea of beliavable geography almost completely with resource-locked and tiered islands and portals and all that, but if some of the stuff from TFC will still matter, why not add a lot of slots for primitve measuring instruments or hints in the landscape, like the sun arcing more to the south when you are far north(doubt this is possible, but still), making a rainfall meter with a Pine/Spruce/some other fir-like sapling and a stick(it works! Kind of), a glass thermometer and things like that, or making moss grow on one side of trees, adding better maps... I don't think debugging so much should be a necessity for playing. Oh, also maybe we should be able to see the time without a kind of watch in our watch-slot, because that's kinda weird.
  8. Glass works

    Just for the purpose of getting a fancy block for my TFC house(where fanciness is huge luxury) I would want to use this system, however, I feel like other than that there is virtually no motivation to try and get better glass, do you have ideas for that too?
  9. This should have been in the known bugs post, which I somehow couldn't open. Thanks.
  10. Not sure if this is in the bug list, because I somehow cannot view it. I did shift-click, but I kind of doubt that that was the problem, it worked just fine before. I was pouring some molten bismuth bronze into an empty mold and withdrew it a tad too early, I did get a full ingot though and there was 1 extra unit of bismuth bronze in the vessel afterwards. I poured it into another mold so I can get my vessel back and now there are 2units of bismuth bronze in the other mold. Weird.
  11. Future of Building in tfc2

    I have been looking for the right post to say this on. Despite all the issues the old worldgen had I loved how realistic it felt, not realistic as in true to real life, but very close to it realistic as in it (almost) all makes perfect sense, it feels like a real world, it feels exactly how I would understand "terra firma". You are thrown into a great world. There are so many things you can do, but the game does not make them for you, they just occur in the world and if you are skilled, you can find them, that is how the "terra firma" is, tough but fair. There is always something you can do(unless the worldgen really screws you over, but checking whether you dropped the player on a small island in the dry zone is probably easier than completely rewiting everything.). I actually learned quite a bit through TFC because some things in the game, that are addressed in no other game are done so accurately that it made me curious to look it up. While of course there is much room for improvement, isn't this what you wanted to achieve? TFC2 as you are describing it probably wouldn't feel like that at all. You are making it very clear that the world is being conveniently and considerately generated around the player and with all it has just for the player with a very clear and narrow progression path laid out for the player(Yes, TFC also has some very ovious progression barriers, but aside from the amount of anvils you need I find them very believable), oceans are merely an annoyance, nobody will ever set foot into them unless they are bored or want salty water. Is this what you wanted TFC to be from the start? Excuse my neophobia, but I just recently discovered TFC, absolutely loved it so far and then found out that apparently the developers are tired of what they did with it and want to make something completely different.
  12. Future of Building in tfc2

    I can't help but feel like TFC2 won't be nearly as immersive as TFC now, but I guess I can only wait and see. Or maybe I'm just neophobic.
  13. Future of Building in tfc2

    Really? I thought it was made so that being able to stay in one place is a desirable endgame goal. To make your own little paradise and to make it something great, because it is very difficult to do...even though many places have all you technically need in order to advance and you can't even starve. Also is there anybody here who did not like the idea of stone layers?
  14. Future of Building in tfc2

    Well TFC1 does not rely heavily on Minecraft mechanics. You basically used the engine as a framework to make an entirely different game and I don't think there are not too many mod combinations with TFC that actually make sense, so there is no big reason to try to force the same mod into a newer version and with 1.9's mechanics it could not be the same anyway. You have already been replacing mechanics that dissatisfied you with your own ones to the point at which telling that what I am playing used to be 1.7 is actually pretty difficult. I mean if Mojang cared about backwards compatibility then TFC2 would not be a thing and TFC would be around 90% (or rather 110%) of what it is right now. I just think TFC2 is so different from TFC that it may have a different type of fans and give those a not better, not worse, but very different experience than TFC. Like giving someone AE2 instead of IC2. He might like both or neither, but he will pretty surely not think they are about the same. (Aside from the new collapse physics we've been shown, from what I've seen they are strictly cool and pretty sure all TFC players love those)
  15. Future of Building in tfc2

    [Still the combination of tiered islands and portals would not feel like TerraFirmaCraft for me, more like RoguelikeDungeonsWithoutCeilingCraft. Minecraft has the Nether and it can with massive preparation be used for quick(speed*10) travel, but why would improved geography with better boats/rafts, maps and solar orientation be such a bad idea?] <--Repost because this forum confuses me. I expected TFC2 to be a lot different than TFC in many ways, that's why I held back with suggestion based on TFC, but to me this does not only feel like not the same mod, but a mod that is trying to achieve something completely different, like a not-at-all-marginal portion of players might like TFC and dislike TFC2 and the other way around. I still can't know. TFC2 is not out, I have not played it and this is just a single semi-founded opinion. It will probably be great in any case, but if it will really be so different, perhaps TFC should not be abandoned after all.
