Usually you slap your arm and wait for them to appear

That makes more sense. I'll keep the sticks for the wattle and daub if my town ever gets big enough to use it. Gonna have to grow a hell of a lot of wheat though. Is straw/thatch made from the main body of the grown wheat plant, whereas the part we use for food comes from the grain at the top? I've lived all my life in the countryside but am woefully ignorant on agricultural matters edit: I managed to destroy my save, but reloaded the seed and built everything again in creative. I then added this Saxon keep: That closed-off room up top is my room, with my humble bed and chest

Cheers dude. Most of the credit can go to jamziboy, I just took his tutorials and followed his rules for thatching etc. It's a lot of fun to build with. They're meant to be thatch (although they can also represent stacks of wheat/grain/straw. In-game, they're pink wool, and the ones with binding on them (crossthatch?) is lime wool. There's also a crate texture for magenta wool, and a few other wool varieties have wattle and daub. You can make some really cool looking medieval-style towns with minimal effort. (for thatch, I delete 120 sticks using NEI and give myself 64 lime and 64 pink wool. Not sure how balanced that is, but 120 sticks takes a long time to harvest so it works out I think)

I'd like NPCs that can only provide for themselves and give you a very small surplus. That way there's no unbalancing free resources, but your building as a player has more meaning (building your villagers houses, churches, stockpiles etc.), and it'd give the game a lot of life.

Are you using a stone hoe, or a metal one? The nutrient mode only works with metal hoes. That took my a while to figure out too.

I've got 3 tiers in mind for the village (subsistence, production and politics, roughly). I could release the map at each tier if anyone wanted to use it for a server. Most of the jobs around the village would be pretty boring really - you're a farmer, here go farm the same 5x5 plot every year for eternity. At some point I'd like to play some kind of limited RP in the medieval style with this texture pack though, cheers for the idea.

Cheers dude. I have a tryhard system for simulating a medieval village, in the absence of vanilla villagers or being able to use something like Millenaire or Humans+. Each house contains a family, each villager works the land or in a quarry or whatever, and has a set production rate based on where they work, what tools they use etc. They all need feeding and logs for firewood, and in return they produce food, lumber, sticks, stone, ore, and whatever else the player can usually do. Eventually I should have a thriving town with blacksmiths, masons, a market, a city guard...all with thatched rooves and cramped living spaces

I've been a) watching a hell of a lot of Jamziboy's Medieval builds on YouTube and b ) using the John Smith TFC pack by yubyub and Bluepixal to slowly build up a medieval village, starting off with fishing cottages, a quarry, a church and a lumber camp. First, here's the church, built on a clifftop away from the rest of the village. Wholeheartedly ripped off from the aforementioned Jamziboy, built using local quartzite and rhyolite, and sequoia I brought from overseas. I haven't quite finished the interior yet. Here's my stockpile/warehouse building. The interior isn't done yet, I got distracted building the church. These are fisherman's cottages overlooking the sea. Most of them have small, walled-off vegetable gardens. Later on when they have inhabitants these will be planted. The cottages are pretty cramped inside, but enough for some poor fishermen to keep warm. The fields are pretty small and basic right now, but as the villagers acquire better equipment and move their farms outside the palisade, they will be able to farm larger fields and produce more crops. This is my small lumber camp. There are two saw pits, a small covered area for tool storage and smaller tasks, and two lumberjack's cottages behind. Sorry about the links, imgur is acting up.

This is a pretty interesting idea, looking forward to you fleshing it out a bit more.

Ahaha, what a wussy griefer. 'ehehe i'm going to turn your renewable resource into another renewable resource, take that!'

Hey idiots: a) the Technic pack is cool and the guys behind it are cool and people who whine about it are big whiny babies b ) Bioxx doesn't want TFC to have anything to do with it There's your discussion ok cool

This TP is amazing. I just found Jamziwhatever's channel on YouTube, making some amazing medieval houses with thatch rooves now. Cheers dude.

TFCraft-client-core-B2-Build48g TFC_Resources b2p48g Let me know if that doesn't work.

I think I fixed it, I backed up my TPs and saved worlds, deleted my entire .minecraft folder, downloaded a new one and so far it's working alright. Now to try the minimap/smart moving/NEI/CJB additions...

I feel like an idiot. I've been using MagicLauncher to handle TFC for me. I've put Forge and API at the top of the mods list, followed by Rei's Minimap, Smart Moving etc., and put the TFC build in the external mods section. This worked up until B66 (although I never could NEI to work), but with B67 even Forge refuses to work. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong. I tried installing the old-fashioned way (clean Minecraft 1.4.5 with Forge Universal 1.4.5-6.4.0.395 and Player API 1.4.5 Universal 1.0 installed straight into the jar), and even without adding TFC this crashes before I even get to the title screen, with this message: ---- Minecraft Crash Report ----// This is a token for 1 free hug.
