      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too!

      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.

You're saying none of these things should be in TFC then:

And all of those are the other mods' signature features.

There currently aren't any real reasons to include windmills of any sort. To power one tool and to look badass as it spins around and around on top of that hill.

For me, physiscs in minecraft always look messed up.

why not implement as many diverse systems as possible? yeah, lots of work, but I have always felt diversity was TFC's strong point.

Yes, it's TFC's strong point and the point that I like the most. Diverse systems allow players to freely choose what they want to do, making the believability level over 1000000000.

Maybe you meant >9000!!!!!!! ?

Honestly, as long as we don't start downloading other mods and copy pasting code, i'm completely okay with features that other mods already implemented to be in TFC. I mean, it's not like most of those mods were compatible with TFC... can't we have those things if they fit here?

I agree TFC can have stuff that other mods have, I just think that most of what this mod does is that it does everything it's own way, and generally better than other mods.

"We added copper and bronze!"

"Oh copper and bronze, that's very nice *coughmorethantentypesofmetalandalloyscough*"

I'll also agree that windmills would likely be a one trick pony, but the same article I read talking about the use of ancient vertical windmills for grinding grain also spoke of their use for moving water for irrigation. If Bioxx ever decided to revisit plant growth and irrigation, having this already in would take half of the work out of implementing something like it.

The correct phrase would be "And now what can i do?". I can give you advise in english too :3 I'm the nerdy student of mr. Dunkleosteous's english class (?)

-snip-

As i said, as long as it isn't direct copy, why not? we can obviously make things better than they did, it's always possible to do it better than others.

Didn't we discussed about mechanical power on some thread?

ed: this one?

Yeah, a couple different times and places I believe. Though the hope was this would be simplistic enough to forestall the need for an entire mechanical power system. Having a whole system would require a lot more to implement (I would assume anyways), whereas this would be more that you place a block that has to be turned on, and then place the windmill on top to turn it on. Could always make levers turn it on and off, but the simpler the better if you ask me.

Maybe using cows as sourcce of power, like plowing fields and such... overthinking... quit it...

I think this is a sad argument I see a lot on here for not doing something that would without a doubt improve TFC because it's been done before, most everything in TFC except the metaBLAH BLAH BLAH

http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Horse_mill

Cows in the field? Wind in the mills? How about we leave the wind in the fields and put the cows on the mills?

This is doable is it not?

And what about cow flop? BTW has doggie poo. Will we get cow flop?

But on a serious note. I LOVE the idea of vertical windmills. It is yet another idea that would set TFC apart from the rest of the pack.
