Deviator

Custom NPC mod can have merchants that sell the vanilla items.

If you found enough for a pick and prospectors pick, the saw should be easy. You know where you got the small ores from right? Use the pick and prospectors pick in that same area to dig up regular ores and make a saw.

The mod works in single player, but the game mechanics are designed for server play.

They don't have time to make it single player friendly which has been an issue longer than realism vs believability, I doubt they will have time for this.

First post in this forum is a list of known bugs.... this is in there and has been (hopefully) fixed in the next release.

Are current worlds going to be compatible with 78? I found a 2x4 Sequoia and would like to reap the rewards from it without crashing.

I might also suggest waiting until summertime before exploring, as climate when the chunk is generated determines what animals will be there.

It's the same way here. Go exploring, the same thing. The problem is that most people can only find Cassiterite if it spawns in granite on the surface. That's the only case where it's possible to find it. That said, granite should be one of the most common surface rocks, after the sedimentary rocks, but it's not. I'm finding almost all metamorphic rock, which makes no sense. Metamorphic rock is actually somewhat rare as opposed to igneous and sedimentary.

I attempted to get around the crash by using a scythe on the leaves before chopping the tree down, but all it did was make the whole tree disappear from the scythe point upwards... logs, leaves and all went poof...but no error.

So right now 77.21, chicken breeding is impossible in servers without permission? Cool, ran around for an hour on the big island where i've settled to find a chicken for my rooster, and all for nothing!

Ok, i only hope 77.22 or 78 will come quickly 

Pumpkin Seeds will breed chickens for now unless that is turned off on your server, in which case it is your admins issue, not TFC. Chicken eggs are a different story.

The problem with this is that there really isn't any way for the game to check if no players are logged in. The only real solution is to have a limited up-time server, where the server admin manually shuts down the server whenever players aren't logged in, and then manually starts it back up when a user requests to log in.

Doesn't the game unload chunks when no players are on? Could you use that feature to see if no chunks are loaded, stop tick progression?

Any rough ETA for 78 or can we get a .22 in the meantime to hold us over? Looks like a lot of fixes waiting to be released.

Bismuth is not a tool metal. It is an alloy metal. You mix it with other metals to make the higher tier tool metals.

I used Fragnet a while back so things might have changed but from what I remember, you must rename your jar file to match the one selected in the panel. It was something like ForgeMod.jar I think.

Is it covered? Forges must have open access to the sky either directly above or one block over via a chimney.

You can't smooth from the bottom. I think it was because of cave-in exploit.

EDIT: ...or that ^

Zinc, Tin and Bismuth are no longer able to be used for tools. They are now only used for alloys. You need copper or higher for tools.

Are you using the proper anvil for the metal? If the metal is higher tier than the anvil, the recipe will not show up. For instance, if you try to work a steel ingot on a bronze anvil, you will not see any instructions.

Are you on the latest version? This was fixed in 77.20 I believe. also, once you update you will need to generate new land. The old trees will still have no leaves on them.

Fixed Douglas Firs not growing properly due to "id" not being set

Not sure if this was part of your troubleshooting but try a fresh TFC install with no mods AND generate a fresh world with that same seed, then go to the location and see if you have the same issue. If you used the saved map from when you had mods, it could still be something generated by those mods that is causing the issue.

Yes, I know that, but this is on a fresh install and fresh world gen with no edits. Besides, it would be all cows if this were the case, not random ones.

Hotfix #: 77.21

Suggested Name: Invisible Cows

Suggested Category: Minor

Description: Some cows appear invisible with just the shadow showing. I have seen it multiple times, with fresh installs and it is always cows.
 

Have you deleted your config files and are still able to reproduce this bug?: Yes - tried with all of my mods and with only REI's(so I could find them).

Pastebin.com link of the Crash Report: No crash

Here you can see a cow ghost haunting his live buddy.

Put the REI zip file that you download into your mods folder. Optifine is quite a bit more complicated than that and seems to not work for some people.

Sluice covers 200x200 area so you really only need to put a new sluice every 200 blocks.
