Clay bricks?

why the fuck is this forum always active at 3 in the goddamn morning... I need to sleep... x_x

lol, I passed out around 5 and woke up just now

[Scooterdanny 285]

Because I am here! kidding aside, i would assume there are people in different time zones than we.

[EternalUndeath 1,208]

gah, I have work in 4 hours T_T

[Scooterdanny 285]

Yeah! i work in 7, so not as bad for me, sorry off topic there.

I find myself thinking the same thing when it is a reasonable hour for you

On an off topic note: It has been well established that the pyramids were not built using slaves, but volunteers from the populace who were very well cared for.

An on topic note: Yeah, mud/clay bricks would be good +1

P.S. I'm already at work, so suck it

[Scooterdanny 285]

Well.... established by the Egyptians, who would not benefit from being thought of as having slaves.

back on to topic, a process like in Millenaire for mud bricks would be interesting.

[Sasqaucth 45]

Millenaire was sand+dirt somehow = mud + A few minutes = Brick. Nope, not in TFC

[mrpwase 66]

Well, to be fair, in TFC planks x 4 = plank block = secure building material, no nails needed. I've planted a pine sapling, turned around to do something else, then turned back to see a fully grown pine tree. Dirt + water + mold = mud + a day or so in the summer sun = mud brick doesn't seem too outlandish.

[Sasqaucth 45]

Ok, i don't disagree. Millenaire is: Take some sand, and some dirt. Now, take your mold and throw it on the ground with right click. You have instant mud brick. Now take 5 or 10 minutes, regardless of day or night, and now it is dry. Enjoy! (My accent for the little hindis.)

Man, watch the race comments.

With the potential for heat maps being implemented, I presume it would be relatively easy to tie the mud-brick drying rates to the temperature. Would that satisfy you ?

yes. We do not take slurs lightly on this forum. Watch your self or you will be banned.

[Sasqaucth 45]

That wasn't a slur. I was speaking of the actual people in game, and how the only "Race" they seem like to me are ancient Assyrians due to the fact the are in the desert which makes little sense since the indian culture was mostly formed by Assyrians after they invaded Modern day India, back then idk what, and created the caste system. Hindu is a religion not a race. Really? what is different about a black person, or an Indian, than you, or me, or someone else? No slurred intent was meant from that comment.

It's not the heat that doesn't satisfy me, it's the process of making mud. It requires much more to make a stable brick than sand and dirt and water. it requires small traces of a harder component. almost like a mortar.

[Scooterdanny 285]

not the Primitive kinds of brick... you are thinking post 1700's kind of brick, the old kind such that made pueblos merely needed mud, and a binder. leave it in the sun for a few days and boom... solid brick.

[EternalUndeath 1,208]

So clay.

[Sasqaucth 45]

I was gonna say that but then....

We've had similar discussions about this as well as other building materials here: http://terrafirmacraft.com/f/topic/816-new-brick-types-old-building-methods/page__fromsearch__1

I think it would be great to add mudbrick and/or rammed earth, as well as concrete (which the romans had used). It would give players more options to build in the early game without necessarily having to mine stone or make a chisel, as well as giving more aesthetic options in general.
