      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. A Question of Motivation Relating to Trade

    That is the current problem, finding enough Nickel for more than 2-3 people in a 10k x 10k is near impossible.
  2. 46c Experimentation: Ores

    I agree with this. Nickel spawn needs to be looked at as well as the transition from Steel to Black to Red/Blue.
  3. A Question of Motivation Relating to Trade

    I played on a server with average 25 people at a time and it was only 10k x 10k with more land than we could possibly use. It also took up tons of resources to host the server at just that size, however it did use bukkit and a bunch of plugins but I would imagine with all the changes TFC made, it is pretty much as demanding.
  4. The Poles Distance Poll

    It seems this will spread out the temperature ranges quite a bit. Is this going to create a situation where you have to travel 20k blocks to plant different types of crops/fruit trees? I'd hate to have to spend 3 in game weeks running around just to make an orange-strawberry-banana smoothie. On a side note, I could see this being good for massive servers where northern communities could trade needed crops with southern communities but you would need some sort of faster transport like the trains mod maybe.
  5. X-ray mods compatible with TFC?

    Actualy, my first question was serious, the rest was sarcasm for those people who think you can cheat in SSP. The game was designed for you to be able to do what you want, and also designed to be modded. Nowhere in his post did he say he was using this for multiplayer. If you want to look through the ground on your own map to find ores, go for it. If you are trying to bypass server rules in SMP, then yes that is cheating, but you cannot cheat on SSP in a sandbox game, it is impossible. I have NEI, REI's minimap, Trains, BuildCraft(with sub-mods), InventoryTweaks and RedPower. I only use NEI to recover my items when a game crash or bug causes me to lose stuff, but even people who use it to simulate a creative mode situation from time to time aren't cheating. I don't have a need for OptiFine, but I don't consider that cheating either, again just sarcasm.
  6. X-ray mods compatible with TFC?

    Is it possible to cheat in a sandbox game which is pretty much do-what-you-want? A lot of people on this forum, and many of the youtubers, have NEI installed... is that not cheating? In fact, any mod that alters gameplay should be considered cheating right? Maps, Trains, Tech mods, InvTweaks etc. Even Optifine makes it easier to play if you have a weak system... maybe you should have opted for a better system instead of cheating you little cheaters!!! lol
  7. Charcoal pit shape? (build 47)

    I have been playing since 36 and never had to put logs in the firepit. I used to test to see if I got more charcoal returned if I used logs but it turned out there was no noticeable change. That is correct... IF it is 25x25 it would need to be in the center... if you have a 13x13 it can be on the edge because it does not go more than 13 away. Mine are 9x9 so it works without having to be in the center. From the changelog... All this states is that it must be at the base with one log over the firepit. Also, it says varying shapes... so you could make something really oddly shaped and there would be no real "center" to place the firepit.
  8. Update

    1.2.5 as of right now.
  9. Charcoal pit shape? (build 47)

    The firepit does NOT have to be in the center. Mine always goes on the outside ring and works perfectly. I also NEVER add logs to my firepit and have not had any issues.
  10. Charcoal pit shape? (build 47)

    The firepit does not need to be in the middle... only on the ground floor and have 1 log above it. All exposed logs must be covered in dirt. The charcoal simply spits out into the world when the it is done, meaning it will disappear after 5 minutes. Make sure you keep an eye on the smoke, it may only show up on the dirt block above the firepit, and when it goes out, grab your charcoal off the ground. As for the minimum size, I am not sure. I have not tried to make small piles, just the original size and bigger. Also, you do not need to fuel your firepit with logs.
  11. Unable to get cobblestone or smooth stone

    Try placing the rocks (non-cube shaped ones) a few blocks in front of you. There was a bug that caused player damage if placed too close so you have to be a few blocks away for it to work. Once you have a chisel, you can turn them into bricks which can then be turned into slabs and stairs using a hammer and chisel. Edit: ^^^ damn ninjas always following me around!!!
  12. Install not Working

    I was going to say wait a bit also... mine went from a 2 second Mojang screen with vanila + modloader + forge + player api... to 25 seconds once I added in core and resources. Anyone know why? This just started today even with my old install that I didn't change anything on. It is kind of annoying having to wait for the screen to go away so I can pull up my saves.
  13. mining technics (how do you work your mines?)

    Another vote for this. I will be installing the trains mod and starting a new world as soon as 48 comes out. Maybe you could have a good tutorial on it by then?
  14. Unshaped Zinc dissapears

    Cannot melt ore in the forge, only firepit or bloomery. The forge heats up unshaped ore and ingots.
  15. Charcoal Pit Functionality

    You can use regular coal for the forge, but need charcoal for the bloomery.
  16. Charcoal Pit Functionality

    If you have it properly set up and covered, smoke should come from the block above the firepit.... at least that's the only one that smokes on my pit. It should take a while to burn. They used to burn 18 in game hours but I had one recently that only went 13... could have been a bug, I dunno. The whole thing needs to be covered by a non flammable type of block. The firepit must be on the lowest level of the pit and have at least one log pile directly above it. You do not need to put logs in the firepit. Keep an eye on it. When it is done the charcoal will spit out into the world and you will only have 5 minutes to pick it up before it disappears.
  17. Metal Rich

    Open the picture in paint, resize it, save it as the smaller size then try to upload it.
  18. Can't get alloys!

    In case you dont see the other post... looks like you are putting them in there in "working" temp range... they actually need to be liquid.
  19. Can't get bronze?

    They need to be liquid to put in the metallurgy table.
  20. Disappearing Fire Pit

    With how fast updates come, the Wiki and tutorials get out of date pretty quick. And yes, the 5 minute timer sucks, but until(if) another method is come up with(personally, I think it is just lazy coding but that is just me), you basically have to stand guard over your charcoal factory until it is done.
  21. Disappearing Fire Pit

    Read the changelog daily. It will help. I suggest you read the whole thing the first time. http://www.terrafirmacraft.com/change-log/ The firepit uses a new search algorithm, similar to tree felling which allows it to support charcoal pits of varying shapes and sizes up to 25m wide and 13m tall. In order to start the charcoal process a lit firepit simply needs 1 logpile on top of it. The firepit must still be lit at the base of the charcoal pile. Important: The charcoal is now spit out into the world and the firepit will disappear upon completion. This is not a bug, the firepit simply can’t hold that much charcoal.
  22. Pregnant animals gone

    Has anyone managed to actually get babies under the new system? I see people talking all day about HOW to do it, but never seen anyone that actually did it. I am not trying this again. All that time involved to have them poof like that... I will stick to bread and fruit trees and whatever animals I find in my travels.
  23. Pregnant animals gone

    All of my female animals that were pregnant have dissapeared and appear to have taken one male hostage(unless I mis-counted on breeding day). Anyone else have this issue? All the other males are still in their pens... and seem to be in better spirits. It seems this happened right around birthing time. This may or may not be related but it seems on the same day the animals poofed, I started having issues with running my world on far distance even though I had not discovered any new land. On the in-game day after the dissapearance, the crashes stopped.

  25. build nice looking house with(out) woodlogs

    Nice house, but I gotta think F2 is better for screenshots than Print Screen and MSPaint
