      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. well darn, i just think that explosives for mining makes much more sence than digging out a whole mountain with couple of pickaxes

    It does, to a level.

    Realism in mining is a very unachievable goal for TFC to be honest. If they went for it (and did it in a period appropriate fashion) it would take a very very long time to mine (and you still wouldn't get explosives :P)

    Basically, realistic mining in TFC is a bit of a pipe dream :L

  2. For those that don't know, this is I'm pretty sure the new, retail version of a free source mod "Age of Chivalry". You can get that mod here: http://store.steampo....com/app/17510/

    You'll need to have bought a source engine valve game to play it. If someone really wants to try it and don't have one, I have a copy of portal that has been sitting in my inventory since I preordered portal 2 I can give them.

    No GC, i believe this is entirely different, i thought the same thing when i first saw it.

    Actually, it is (if you like) the game of the mod. The dev team decided to make it into a full game :)

    This would be cool. The mace makes more damage, but is slower...and it can break enemy's legs :D

    Hmmm, not quite, but you get the idea :)

    I am going to make a post on organic weapons programming. Go take a look when I finish it :)

  3. darn yknow i wouldve thought that in a world with exploding creepers stalking the lands, explosive based weaponry wouldve been discovered fairly early on

    i guess we'll just have to focus on explosives for mining and stoof liek that

    That is based on the assumption that exploding green beasties will continue to roam the land once Bioxx is "finished" (although development of mods like this never end :P)

    To be honest, I don't think we'll be seeing much of explosives at all in TFC 1.0.0 (either directed in guns or for mining)

  4. Cevkiv, on mobile so no quotes for now, but there are not enough like buttons for your post. As the owner of (the only ?) Faction based war server, I feel this would be just right :)

    Serious, serious +1

  5. ditto is BEST pokemans

    Stop. Stop it. This thread still has plenty of life in it before it careens off the rails into irrelevance :P

    I like the idea, I feel like we aren't being rewarded for actively hunting mobs right now :/

  6. Credits in the US (I think) are based on how many hours the lectures take in a week, roughly.

    For example, I'm taking a 5 credit class that is about an hour long for four days a week plus a 'lab day' that lasts an hour.

    I'm also taking a 3 credit class that meets twice a week and lasts for an hour and a half.

    I currently have 5 classes, but one of those classes I go to every single day instead of twice a week. It's.... very confusing sometimes. :(

    I see :P

    Man, I feel like my uni must be easy because I had like 1/3 attendance last year and I got 62% :P

  7. off-topic, I've noticed that all the somewhat old-hands here have other poster's quotes as their sig, lol

    It's because we've been around long enough to catch the funny comments :P

    It's like a badge of honour, and one I am proud to wear :P

  8. yes and seeing as those other planets are thousands or hundreds of thousands of light years away, we have no chance of getting there anytime soon

    and if we're gonna be statistical about it

    the average population of the universe is zero as said by Douglas Adams

    Weeeelllllll .. That depends on the average you are taking and how many significant figures you are using (but certainly the average is approaching 0)

    I totally agree we won't get to them soon though.

    You also have an above average number of legs ;)

    Unless you don't, in which case I am sorry :P

  9. ugh, 18? i'm taking 14 and i think it's far too much ( then again, i have a job too so :/)

    Yup. I'm nearly foaming at the mouth for this game. New engine? Yes please. I have a disease and I need to actually explore the island for a cure and not have some stupid hack n slash monsters sitting at every corner as a distraction? I can do so 'at my own pace'? Hmmm... we'll see.

    I'm just hoping that it comes out before mid terms or some other convenient time that is kinda... not every day after today -_- Whyyyy did I think 18 credits would be okay? ;_;

    I have no idea how uni works in the us O.O

    I am taking 120 credits, but I suspect that is very different (either that or all Scottish students have super powers ! :P)

    I do 6 classes (sometimes more if they are small) a year for 5 years (just going into my 3rd year btw) and that will net me one of the best degrees there is. (MEng, so it's only one "level" below a PHD)

  10. well we owe it the fact that it's the only known planet that can harbor (our kind of) life in any of the known universe as far as we know

    Hmmm, not quite. We are almost 100% positive it is a statistical certainty that other life bearing planets like earth exist. The universe is so vast that it is impossible to be otherwise. Also, as the universe is expanding and planets are changing constantly, this is even more true.

    What I think you meant is that it is the only planet which harbours life in the immediately observable portion of the universe :L :L

  11. I never really got hating on brony's any more than I got hating on Nickelback fans. People will do what they want, why should I stop them or mock them for it ?

    Ps. This is my way of telling you all I am a nickelback fan and I feel it is very hypocritical to mock people for it yet expect leniency with your own media preferences :P

    I really don't understand why everyone hates them so much ? I appreciate they are skillfully devoid, but that doesn't affect my enjoyment of the music. I like barbecues, just because they aren't fine works of nouveau cuisine doesn't mean they don't taste good :P

  12. well I don't really care what happens to the humans, but the rest of the planet shouldn't have to suffer because we're a bunch of dipshits

    Haha :P That is true, but as devils advocate here:

    Why protect the earth (presuming we developed the technology to move on) ? What do we really owe the planet or any of it's species ? I'm not suggesting we are superior, or that we deserve to live more than any other animal, but I would say that human interest #1 is looking after ourselves. If we could benefit from moving to another planet and strip mining/depleting earth into oblivion, why not ?

    You have a conscience, that is why. I really hope nobody actually thinks as above :S I am hardly a veggie or even an animals rights activist, but I love our planet and I think it is beautiful and precious, even if it is less unique than we foolishly believe.

  13. Preferably someone with either tonnes of free time

    Hi, I'm Jed. Nice to meet you :):P

    It seems like too much work to upkeep for me though :S .. I am a lazy dick :P

  14. I'm going to leave idea's to Jed though, his are amazing!

    Oh please ! :P

    My ideas are no better than anyone elses :)

    I actually think you caught something I totally missed in mentioning the use of the hauling medium as a lift :)

    Continue to post your ideas, research them some more and you will be solid :)

  15. And this is why those who think childhood was an idyllic time are completely insane. Or just forgetful.

    I disagree man :P

    I know hundreds of people will have said the same thing (and it depends on your definition of childhood too) but I think the years I just went through will probably be some of the best of my life. Case and point:

    I spent most of my first year of uni really really ermmm .. sober ¬.¬

    I spent most of my second year of uni in bed :P

    I still managed an average 62% mark despite my poor attendance (I will be in a lot more this year, I swear ! :P)

    Fifth year of school (school at age 16) was annoying, but only because I was getting detentions and punishment exercises just for growing a beard and having long hair. The other parts were awesome :P

    Honestly, I'd say the years between 16 - 25 and 12 - 14 are the best days in life :P 12 - 14 because you don't suffer from the supreme melodrama of teenage life and can enjoy simplicity and 16 - 25 because you can get laid and not worry about your parents (at least over here anyway) drink (again, in the UK) and generally party it up with your gratuitous free time.

    By the time you hit 25+ you're usually in a real job, working sometimes as much as 8 - 6 regularly, your body slowly begins to deteriorate and you begin to accrue serious responsibility. Your parents get old and you start to worry about them and if you think you are powerless as a kid and that adulthood will liberate you, rest assured that the majority of adults are even less free and even more powerless, stuck in jobs they hate with wives/husbands who don't look after themselves anymore. Not all that great afterall :P

  16. What's with everyone saying this would be so difficult to code? How hard is it to code one block burning away and an other block taking its place after whatever arbitrary amount of time it takes to burn. It seems like everything today comes with the necessary "if it's even possible" line, it's underestimating the power of code.

    I agree, it seems pretty easy to me ?

  17. longer time before items disappear so your charcoal doesn't magically poof

    or just make it so charcoal does not go away if encased in a mound.

    ps.

    I actually like the idea of this thread because it allows me to post without getting yelled at by those who have already said no to something similar and won't read it or think about it in a new way.

    You wouldn't have been yelled at for that being stupid, you would have been yelled at because there has already been many suggestions to this effect :P
