Greetings from a new guy *With questions!*

[transcengopher 349]

Once upon a time I ran past herd of bears, about twenty of them in one place. Would've been sad if they had their correct AI at the time.

What armour (if any o_O) did you have? xD

Yep, textures and models are being changed. This was more of a test.

.

Do bears drop anything? I saw one once, but this was before I knew that their AI wasn't correct, so I was scared to go and kill it, in fear that it would come and maul me to death. The wiki says stuff like they follow meat or whatever. So I was wondering. Do they drop anything? and What are the plans for bears?

[transcengopher 349]

Nothing. My buff round buttocks don't count as armour, do they? I was searching for a good place to call home right after the start, on my third day.

As far as I know, bears don't drop anything.

Good morning all,

At least its morning here.

Thank you for all the wonderful and informative replies. I can now adjust my expectation of the terrafirmacraft experience accordingly.

I would also like to announce my first great milestone, I have made a bismuth pick and taken dominance as the only metal worker in the world!

In yours, you mean

Congratulations! Copper age here you come! Keep an eye out for flux in your travels, though.

[Kimbblesrath 503]

Congratulations! Copper age here you come! Keep an eye out for flux in your travels, though.

To clarify this, you wont ACTUALLY find flux by itself in the world. You can make flux in 2 ways. Either Borax (a mineral which is like an ore, can find it underground) and a hammer in a crafting table, or one of the four flux stones and a hammer in a crafting table.

The four flux stones are chalk, dolomite, limestone, and iirc marble.

EDIT: I loved the feeling of triumph when I made my first tin pickaxe all those months ago....

Good clarification, thank you. Though there are worse things than wandering the world looking for something that doesn't exist. Think of the adventure!

[LordOfWolves 514]

A lot off topic, but I was thinking that your name is similar to bsb23 that is another forum user.

Also, make a prospector's pick ASAP. When you are walking around with it, right click on the ground with it. You never know what goodies you can find while doing that. You know the small ore nuggets you get when breaking rocks? Remember those spots and prospect there. Often there is a nice ore vein under that rock.

Wolf, this was already discussed early on in the thread. But at least their avatars are different.

*Looks at new guys name, looks at his own* Well this could get confusing.

[Menoch 335]

Thanks about the deer and nope, they're actually enormous already! TFC bears are scaled up 1.5 times from a grizzly. Average height of a grizzly is 1 m at the shoulder 0.o things in mc just look tiny because of the ungodly large player (your head is half a metre across .__.)

Yeah we had the new sounds but rogue sorta dropped off the face of the earth so a lot of mob dev kinda halted :/

Oh... Too bad you don't know anyone who has a studio and stuff and is on board with helping you guys out with music and sound files and stuff.... ..... Yea...... Otherwise that would be awesome... O-o

....

Ahem...

And stuff....

Ignored developer was ignored.

From what i have seen of your songs (around 3 of them? i haven't played a lot lately) , i think you would make wonderful sounds for the mod as well :3

Here's Menoch, growling in the microphone, making sounds for howler monkeys, that were added lately.

I understand that it won't be like that, but it's a funny thing to think of.

Also, there's five songs.

[Just_Another_Guy_:) 1,066]

Yes, i know, i readed the changelog but i have only heard 2 of them as of right now...

[Bob 31]

I changed my name. Its not often that I get to be just the "Bob" on a forum, thus the 23...

I have another question.

I understand that different food plants like different latitudes. Too hot or too cold and they will not grow.

Do all food plants follow the same same temp scale? ie everything will grow between 5000 and 15000, or do each type of plant have their own range?

Likewise, same question with fruit trees.

The reason I ask is that while I have found wild plants near spawn (approx z of 10000) but not all of them seem to want to grow after planted in the same area.

Thanks again in advance,

Bob

[Bob 31]

Hmmm...I may have answered my own question...

I think they are affected by season. They need to be close to water. Whatever, you should always note that TFC crops will take a complete TFC year to grow. By default the year is set in 96 days (or something like that...). You can change that in the config.

Oh, yeah, and the hotter the ambient is, the faster they grow (you can check the temperature by pressing F3)

I can confirm at -15k Green Apple and Cherry Trees do function properly. Thus I presume that fruit trees are not affected by temperature.

This will be changing. Dunk confirmed in another thread that this is not supposed to happen; it's what I meant by randomly generated plants not acting accordingly. They're just dealing with more critical stuff first.

Another question..

Are sequoia forests a rare thing? The one I spawned into seems huge.

Bob

Yep, they are in fact very rare : that's lucky...

[renadi 258]

actual sequoia seem to be pretty rare, Kopak is pretty common, I managed to pick up a sequoia sapling on an island in the middle of nowhere though which is kind of neat, it seems that's the only tree on any of the islands between here and the equator.

[Bob 31]

Screen shots are on my work computer. So following the seed rules in the seed forum I cant post the seed...over there...

the seed "Caveman" , without the quotes of course, spawned me on a hill in the redwoods, go up over the hill a bit to find the forest.

Enjoy

Bob

Yeah like what JAG said, they're rare, but when you find a sequoia forest...there are something like at least 20 sequoias in a sequoia forest.

Its a really pretty area, but the trees make huge shadows for critters to hide in.
