Ah jeez I don't really want to go to vaughan, Toronto works better for me.earlier we can do- it's a sunday evening after all. Maybe closer to 5:30?

Ok guys, its this sunday. We talked about 7 pm. Does that work for everybody? Any ideas for a location?

just a prototype for smoke. You guys read too deeply into things.

this "feeding" I'm talking about is specific to familiarity. Giving them grain for breeding is a completely separate action. The familiarity check can only occur if an animal hasn't been familiarized yet that day. If it has, everything works as it would in b78, aside from not being able to breed animals that aren't familiar.

I'm looking at the code for cows right now. There's no way you should be able to give grain more than once to the same cow.

Ah! yes you're right. That was something that I noticed in wolves after I copied the code.

Oh look at this smart community. That is exactly what the loom, clothes and canoe will be for

Should also be noted that shearing sheep familiarizes them and breeding is a higher familiarity requirement than shearing

If an animal's familiarity isn't high enough and you stop feeding it, it will decay. This is likely what happened. When you shift click on the donkey with grain in your hand, nothing happens? It doesn't eat it?

Great! So far it looks like this is going to happen on Nov 2 at 7 pm somewhere in downtown Toronto. Including myself and __Frank, that's 6 people. If anyone else is interested, now would be the time to speak up

I misspoke; you are correct that sandstones don't have to form underwater, but the cementation process involved in lithification requires an immense amount of pressure to progress beyond the initial stage of eogenisis. I couldn't find exact numbers for the requirements for cementation, but wikipedia says here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clastic_rock#Shallow_burial_.28eogenesis.29that eogenisis (distinct from mesogenisis, which is when sandstone actually forms, and is defined as "deep burial" as opposed to "shallow burial" for eogenisis) can take place at depths of a few metres to tens of metres. It's safe to assume that mesogenisis occurs significantly deeper or at least as deep as the upper bound for eogenisis, thus making it impossible for mesogenisis to occur beneath deserts in TFC; they're much too shallow. The sand that forms in deserts may one day form sandstone if it is buried under a very large amount of sediment or is covered by a sea, as the pressure of the water helps the process to occur, but will most likely remain as a loose sediment until then.

sandstone doesn't form under sand like that. Sandstone forms underwater the same way limestone, chalk, shale, and claystone form. Having sandstone but not treating it as another sedimentary rock wouldn't make sense.

ceramic tools are possible because we have specific types of clay that are pure and are baked in sterile ovens. In TFC, you dig some clay out of the dirt, throw it in a hole, throw some grass on top of it, throw logs on top of that and set the whole thing on fire. Ceramic tools are only possible with modern technology.

I played build 79 >.>

You're supposed to get ore off the ground with panning as a last resort. Panning requires clay bowls and water. If you don't have the resources to make clay bowls, you also don't have the resources to be smelting metal. If you don't have water, you should probably focus on finding some, as you need to drink it. There are no situations in which this method would be possible and panning would not, therefore it's redundant. I believe that keeping mining exclusive to the pickaxe is the simplest and most straightforward choice.

That would definitely be something you'd have to do once you already had metal. That sort of thing is done because breaking rocks is hard work and Rome needed a lot of ore. Neither of those things are problems in TFC. It's good that you're exploring different ideas though.

Here are my thoughts: depending on the type of ore, this MIGHT work. native metal that is separate from the parent stone could possibly be pried out with a knife but a lot of the ores in TFC exist as minerals dispersed within the stone. Prying ore off the surface of a rock is one thing, but if you're actually breaking the rock itself and extracting the ore from within, you've essentially made a pickaxe. While believability is nice, we've thus far used it to solve existing problems, and I don't think mining ore before you've made a pickaxe is a problem in TFC. The historical record shows that early metallurgy was done with loose chunks of ore found on the ground, and it was only once smelting copper was established that people began searching it out in rock faces.

Roman empire would be cool as a basis! The technology in TFC matches pretty well for the time period. Basing it too heavily on Rome would be a bad idea I think though. Don't go using latin or anything and you can probably come up with your own architectural styles etc but in terms of cultural values of beliefs I think it could work well

Did you check if you can die of thirst while not in saltwater?

Yeah, the animals burp when they eat the food. The way to tell is that when you eat it yourself, you go through the munching animation and sound while you're holding right click before you get the burp and animals burp right away.

really?? I was sure I was deleting the barrel block just before the explosion goes off

really?? I tested this a lot with no issues. I'll take another look.

darn. Thanks for posting. Does it still happen with all mods except fastcraft and TFC uninstalled?

we're considering limiting it to a once-a-day thing, where you won't be able to familiarize them more than once.
