My New SSP World

[Azdoine 218]

I'm going to have to admit it: I haven't played TFC in a while now, but the chaos finally died down and I have some free time.

To celebrate this glorious occasion, I'm going to be starting a new TFC world and posting 'as I play' commentary, with screenshots of what's going on.

Starting whenever my internet stops being a fail, and I can upload my pictures. In the mean time,

-Spawn

I spawned in a forest full of my favorite types of wood (Hickory and Aspen), bordering on a shallow river filled with gravel. Actually, the river is so wide it might be a lake. The stone around me is conglomerate (meh).

I'm going to play on peaceful for the first night or two, to give me a chance to dig my heels into the world and get started.

-Items

The weights and sizes are now marked by little indicator icons, a scale, and an arrow. Have those always been there?

-Axes

Got mega nerfed, didn't they? They take FOREVER to cut through trees. Unsure if I like this.

-Planks

Have been nerfed as well, It'll take even more wood to build a shelter.

-Plank Blocks

Only stack to 8. It seems like a better idea to cut my logs into planks on the spot, to save inventory space.

-Dirt

Makes little pebbly noises when you try to stack it. Apparently you can't have an empty space adjacent and below a dirt block at all, or it collapses.

-Shelter

I need more wood. A lot.

-Rocks

Has the surface spawn rate decreased?

-Grass

Does it even grow back?

-Clay

Just walked over a hill and found a metric ton of the stoff.

Planks DID get nerfed, but saws make more than axes.

But the thing is, you wont get a saw, until you get metal.

Apparently, clay generates in a similar fashion to ores, butin the surface: you rarely find any, but when you do, it lasts for the rest of the game. At least, in my case it always does.

Really? I was wondering about people going crazy over not being able to find clay. In one of my worlds, I just went to the ocean, dug around for a couple minutes, and found a megaton of it.

See? exactly what i meant. When you do find, it's freakin infinite.
