Just wondering why armour is still a flat second skin, a mod that I recall dropping when 1.3.2 landed used an asset native to forge to make armour have 3D-ness. Mine and Blade, the infamous dual wielding mod, added a special set of armour called knights armour, the helmet of which included a full on Plume which was easily I'd say another helmet tall, not to mention 3D That aside I have also noticed that the weird bug when you place 3D items like barrels & bellows against blocks the sides facing a block have a tendency to not render at all. That is all.

Actually powersuits renders in a different fasion than what I'm thinking of, the way chests are rendered isliterally making sort of a chest "mob" and stuffing it into the the block. Power suits actually does the kind of rendering a lot of console and higher res games do things, if the center of the item goes out of the camera bounds, the item stops rendering on that screen. Kind of like the BMW mod as well, it's a different form of rendering, and one I don't really care for, especially for minecraft. Well I noticed the bug in 76. bearing in mind that I also posted this, even if just, before 77 landed.

IM Professional Opinion, Casted tools should need extra working but nothing too complicated, a whetstone would be idea to sharpen most tools.

I rather like the scribing table, I'd hate to see it go. And I advocate metal nails so botched up alloys can be used for something pretty generic, and just as a touch necessary tech to balance things out so you can't jump into wood working in the stone age, TFC is about believability not realism, so a generic metal nail works to make it so you need to have advanced toa metal age to begin advanced woodworking, which I do believe fits a sort of anthropological history of technology, which is what Dunk&Bioxx have been going along for the most part. And ECC, early pre-metal age adhesives were mostly waxes, honeys, mud and other "sticky" substances, glue is a relatively recent invention, as I and I'm sure Dunk has mentioned countless times before, it's believability not realism.

I kinda feel like the Crafting table is a nuisance to deal with and is pretty easily an almost alien item in most of TFC, and I would think it entirely plausible to replace it with a special crafting bench like a carpentry table, based on plans instead of the 3x3 crafting grid. Here are some screens of possible plan recipes for various items made of wood. Door Fencing Fence Gate Stairs Barrels Basic Table(to make things like a metallurgy table, or just decoration) Bed Base(for another suggestion) To counter not having a writing desk to make the plans to make a writing desk, lol, you'd write your first plans on some raw stone, right click some paper on the stone with a feather in your hotbar and you get a similar, or the same plans UI.And another thing to make it so you're not just slapping random planks together with apparently your hand sweat as the only adhesive, you could make a generic metal nail, made of any meltable metal poured into a "nail" tool mould, which would make 24-48 nails per mould or per 100 units of liquid metal. Each recipe would have it's own relative nail/plankrequirements.
-
good idea, and I would think it fairly easy especially with all the mods lately using non-standard model rendering, basically what chests are, a block with more of an entity model inside it.
-
I don't think bioxx messed with snow at all. Might be a vanilla bug, ish
-
it's a bit silly to make several different ID's for one item, but the idea of having to refine a handle for your tools is a nice idea, maybe make a few different handles, a cheap bundle of sticks, a crude handle, a good handle,an exquisite handle etc. and some metalsrequire specific levels of handles, stone tools can be fit onto bundles, bronze/copper can have crude handles, iron/steel have good, bluesteel/redsteel need exquisite, it's be a small addition and a slightly better use for the sheer mass of sticks one can accumulate tree farming.
-
Seems rather counter productive, heating and cooling metal in quick succession causes it to become brittle, which makes it break easier. and technically pickaxes are sharp tools. I agree wholly that a grinding stone should be a thing, and it should be made so things like swords get sharper but lose durability because you're grinding away the tools material, so you could make a really sharp sword that breaks faster, or a rather dull blade which will last you much longer. Weighted tools should get tool weights, just stone or heavy metal rings to go close to the center of the tool heads mass, giving it more kick but also causing it to break faster. Equally thinks like shovels and axes should work the same way, the more you refine them the faster or stronger theyare, but they break faster.
-
Would it be possible for a 32-64x version, I like sphax but 128x+ causes significant performance issues for me.

It's not a bad idea, having animals produce manure. But I'd have to say that fertilizer should have perhaps only 1 soil nutrient that it replenishes, so that you can only produce a certain kind of food year round and not a whole panoply of crops. I'd say small low nutrient value crops like bell peppers, and maybeanimals produce less feces in the winter (kind of a hibernation thing). Maybe ontop of that you could make a composter, just a wooden box to fill with a bunch of decomposable items to produce another kind of fertilizer. And maybe as a balance fertilizers only boost the maximumnutrients in the soil, rather than directly increasing the available nutrients it gives extra nutrients that will let crops grow slightly faster.
-
I just thought themods gems should get some more use, at the least have a way to work the gems into the next size up or down, or maybe even process them into ingots or something for the purpose of condensing them all into a singular form for storage and maybe refinement.

The bloomery could do a better explanation, I still don't quite understand it any more than it smelts ores en masse, I get a vague feeling of inefficiency using it, but all the wiki says is a rough 1:1 ratio of ore to charcoal is the most efficient, but dropping in say 8 ores and 8 charcoal isn't 1:1 in the bloomery GUI. Dual ores are also very strange, and there's no mention of them on the wiki other than on the ore page mentioning that two different metals come from one ore.
-
The whole of the wiki could use an update, a lot of general information is either out of date or not explained very well. Such as the protection meter, I don't quite understand what "spawn protection" means in this case, does it mean hostile mobs don't spawn in an area? or does it mean that you have an area of land that gets the same kind of protection as default spawn on servers? There are a good portion of the pages with equally ambiguous information.

I get that bug even if I keep the sluice chunks loaded. (waiting for your first ingot tends to impede all other progress)
-
I can't seem to place sluice down, I'm using the current build of TFC, B76.18 I believe, I've tried a dozen different times but it isn't placing in the world. I have optifine and smartmoving alongside TFC if that has some sort of effect on it.

Anyone of Interests/Intrigue That Appeared Recently?

Not technically my fault, most you'd run into would describe me this way. Frankly I'm much more friendly, but those who have everything against me are those who accept needless changes as progress.- 5 replies

I can barely get to copper level of tools before I either end up spending ALL my copper trying to find new ores or have to restart a new world. I've not gotten an alloy(period)
-
That's what Redpower's owner said about tungsten, still doesn't have a use yet. I'll willingly start a new world for new ores, if they have a use.

Maple can also burn hot enough with the addition of a bellows, but only just and you need to keep punching the bellows.

Howdy, I've been playing TFC for a while now, and a thought only recently popped in my head andI thought it would be a good addition to TFC. I love the smithing system but even late in game it still feels very slow and painfully repetitive, so I was wondering if we could add a small amount of automation to making ingots en masse. Basically make stone troughs you could hook up to a forge or bloomery to make the liquid metal flow out into world placed rough ingot moulds, giving the player an unshaped metal ingot after it cools. And I also felt that repeatedly filling a barrel to cool down maybe 2 ingots if I'm lucky that maybe a wooden trough could be added to pull water from a barrel into a cooling trough which the player could more quickly and efficiently cool hot ingots with, and maybe to keep things in a semi automated state you could place barrels outside and they slowly collect rainwater during stormy weather, maybe like a bucket every minute of rain.
-
Yeah. random, that's kind of the problem, I've noticed the Ore generation is quite miserly sparse, I went creative and hauled open a 16x16 chunk area layer by layer and found 1 ore vein. I think leaving the large list of useless ores and minerals hurts useful ore spawn.
-
My only issue with stone age progression is sifting for small ores, it takes forever to get one ingot, and by extension one tool, and then if you aren't graced with an easily found ore vein you have to start sifting again. :| I like the game but it gets deeply annoying when your progress is stalled to an utter halt because you have to spend easily days getting your first ingot. A stone pickaxe isn't entirely unbelievable and it would speed things up greatly if you could at least start chipping into the upper crust of the TFC world while you wait for those soil samples to slowly sift, and maybe if you're lucky you'll find some ore, I guess as a semi balance stone picks couldn't mine up ore, and magically stopped working below a certain Y Height.

This is weird, I remember seeing someone have a 3 side-by-side sluice setup :/
