Natural disasters

[Peffern 94]

I like this a lot. Also with strength and weight we could integrate something like the simple physics mod where all blocks are affected by gravity to different degrees.

I do really like these ideas guys! Thanks for mentioning sandstorms, that should be another one of the disasters. Another idea is that as well as the game randomly deciding on a certain event, the game should pick a certain "tier" or "level" of the specific event. Such as the F1-F5 scale on tornados, or the 1-12 scale for earthquakes. Say every time the game decides that a disaster could occur the more devestating events could have a lower probablilty of happening. Lets suppose the game chose a tornado. Then after the game picks the tornado, it selects an F1 tornado to an F5 tornado, with the F5 being allot more destructive, but has a much smaller probability of happening then an F1, which would be less destructive. Out of all the tornados that occur, the F1 would be more common then the F5. The same system should go with the hurricanes and earthquakes, as they have similiar "scales."

Simple physics mod.... NOPE NOPE NOPE

I get only like 70 frames per second already, i do not need something that would slow the game down further

Are you running this on the NASA supercomputers? I call 60 phenomenal fps and you say 70 is bad???

pssh, nasa computer? this rig was only like 1K and also, install optifine, i CAN get about 200 depending where i am, and whether i am on SSP or SMP.

and you do realize the eye can only register 60 right?

[Scooterdanny 285]

Technically... no, the eye does not work with frames which are snap shots, the eye processes constant information like a stream. There are noticeable changes in how 60 looks, and 220. However, FPS and Latency are two very different things, and you can have a large framerate, with stuttering, which can feel like low fps, so generally, having high fps is synonymous with high amounts of smoothness.

Correct, However, a good buffer is nice to have, because if your framerate suddenly takes a hit from your antivirus deciding to suddenly do a high-priority scan or something, having high fps means going from 200 to 60, rather than from 60 to 2.

Also, on a tangentially related note, unless you're sitting VERY close to your HD set, you're wasting money. The dpi (dots per inch) resolution of the human eye changes based on how close you are to the viewed object, increasing when you're closer and decreasing when you back off. At 10 inches away, converting into pixels leaves your eye with 343p resolution - far less than the 1080 you spend 3 grand for. At one inch, you can see over 3200p, so the ideal viewing distance is probably around 7 inches off. Good luck seeing the whole screen.

And sitting 5-8 feet back like you are right now? You tossed your money down the drain when you bought that thing.

Well, not entirely. While it is true that your eyes themselves put out a constant stream of info, there are limitations. The lesser of these is the speed at which the action potentials can fire down your optic nerves, but the big boy is the fact that your brain can't process visual information fast enough to make out the differences between 'frames' at higher than around 60 fps

eh im only about a foot and a half away from my monitor, but then again, i sit really weirdly, so i end up closer than normal to the screen

Well as for a natural disaster, here's a tornado from within Tropicraft (maybe taken from another), which just looks cool.

Though Dunk did say this

almost definitely true. No tornadoes. They are as much a shit storm for your computer as they are a wind storm for you.

[Azdoine 218]

People always say that, but there is just a bit of a subtle difference when I look at, say, 200 FPS vs. 60.

I'm guessing one of 3 reasons:

If you're at 200 FPS, the little variances in the speed won't be noticeable because they don't pull you down past 60 FPS.

or

Placebo (This asshat of a psychological principle really messes up the human existance)

or

You're wrong.

kill yourself

[Treyflix 277]

FYI for those who think seventy FPS sucks, I get fucking 15 on tiny. And if I didn't get so many god dam lag spikes, I wouldn't even mind it. I would kill to get 30 FPS on normal render and fancy graphics, so next time you think you got it rough, think again.

And no i don't have enough money for a new computer.

you do know theres this thing called optifine, which sadly is probably not going to be compatable soon -epic sadface-

Hah, if it wasn't for optifine TFC would Look like a slide show. If optifine goes I won't be able to play TFC anymore, I'll just never be able to update.

[Xechon 58]

Ha, I got 8 gigs of ram up in here! TFCraft isn't very bad compared to what I used to do to minecraft, with all of that TNT. I got bored with survival, way too easy. Hence, I found this and will never, ever, for the life of me, turn back.

Also, Bluehornet you don't seem to understand everything you've said so far has been in the FIRST natural disaster forum....

just edit your previous post, so nobody has to die

I think this is a very good idea, maybe some ores come from meteorites, forest fires could enrich soil and even there could be aliens in the meteorites (hey, it's believable)
