New Idea: I want plumbing in TFC. Not our modern day stuff, but more like the Roman things with Aqueducts and bathhouses, and where the wealthy had their own indoor water.Help me expand on this please!

You can have that... Use the red steel bucket to pickup water, use it to make a water block and it will carry your dejects downstream (romans used gravity to transport dejects with water).

Plus, from now on it is a feature on TFC, water carries items downstream.

... I wouldn't want indoor plumbing the size of 1 cubic meter multiplied by whatever, and i'd rather have something that didn't just have laggy entities floating about until they despawn

Then it is not like the romans aqueducts or sewers, is it?

Just find a high-lying source of water, dig into it, and create an aqueduct. Sure, it'll be a serious pain to fully complete, but imagine how awesome it could end up looking...

I'd love to see small bodies of water (lakes and ponds) become completely finite liquid, and rivers and oceans be an infinite source of water. Ocean and river water would spawn full blocks of water next to and below them, and smaller bodies of water would flow like water from regular buckets.

Obviously some workarounds would need to be taken to reduce lag with large amounts of finite water, but I Think that could be done by only using finite water exposed to air as part of the calculations, and having the rest just be stationary.

EDIT: I'm making this post because this would make water systems more practical.

But are they even spawn at the moment? I saw quite a lot of mountains of different size and shape, but not a single mountain lake.

Roman aquaducts tended to be sourced at mountain springs, rather than lakes, and then lead to cities, etc. using rather specific angles. Too sallow and the water flows poorly, too steep and the pressure causes problems. I'm not sure the minecraft engine is exacty capable of doing aquaducts, or even proper pipes justice.

To my understanding, the Finite liquid mod did it quite well ._.

I think Bioxx wants to add lead pipes, but I don't know what he plans to do with them.

get ready for uses for those useless metals :)

People didn't know they were poisonous, and thats what people used (romans I think?) lead leaching would make you sick over many years of transporting drinking water in them, but if it was so deadly, they would have figured it out sooner.

Egyptians used before them and to choose between no plumbing/sanitation and copper poison, tough call... But most of the aqueducts/sewers were made out of cobble stone (waaaaaaaaaay cheaper)

If I recall, Finite Liquid did much larger waterpipes than I'v seen used in say, buildcraft. I rather liked the look of them, they'd suit a smaller town sized sewer or pumping system. Of course if we are really delving into this matter, you might want to think about a sewage liquid block with the same movement properties as lava.

Might want to bug djoslin about the sourcecode.

Still there is no much need for a sewer system, is there? Or Bioxx is planning on adding ... needs...?

Except for the sh+t ingot and what you make from them, don't tell me

wasn't good :P

I would prefer it to be used as an automatization for your farms, though... What? i sometimes like things to be easier, as well : i'm not a "HARD, HARD, AND ONLY HARD!" player...

Actually the Romans at least were well aware of leads effect, but lead only effects water though its oxides i belive. I have a book discussing ancient engineering somewhere. But while lead was used for pipes, so was clay. the clay would be shaped as a tube with one end smaller than the other, the pipes were baked and then fit togeather, usualy without adhesive or anything. The primary weakness of pipes was that while they allowed running water uphill, unlike aquaducts, having too steep an ange resulted in tremendous pressure buildup at the bend, causing the pipe to burst.

Lead pipes, on the other hand, tended to be triangular in cross section and rather weak, especially if soldered poorly.

Important to note, that the romans didnt live in a world where the living dead rose every night to devour the living, or one where exploding plant creatures suddenly pop out of thin air behind you every few hours.

Poisoning from lead pipes aint exactly high on the ol' prioritys list here is all Im saying.

That isn't what videogames have taught me
