      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      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.

More In-Depth Smithing

5 posts in this topic

!. Smithing should be more based on skill. Making a "perfect" tool, weapon, or armor piece should be impossible, but with a lot of practice you could get close.

2. Pieces should be more customizable. The hilt of a sword should be able to be made out of any type of wood, the leather strips could be of different quality, you could have slots for gems (to increase enchantability?). Same with tools and armor. All the parts to the weapon/tool/armor would all add up to it's durability, enchantability, and efficiency/damage/protection.

3. Increase the need for teamwork. Lets say we had a small town on a server, I could be the blacksmith, Tom could be the leatherworker, Robert could be the miner, Ben could be the farmer, and so on. I know this would cause single-player to be a little more difficult but I like the idea of having a specialization rather than being good at everything.

1) Not sure how we'd go about it without making basic smithing nearly impossible. If it takes too much work to get a good pickaxe, even getting your first ore deposit will become impossible.

2) YES. Enchantments aren't coming back to TFC, last I heard, but customizable hilts and armor with gemstones should be a thing for sake of aesthetics. Or maybe even have the gems BE the enchanting system, if we put magic back. You enchant while placing the gem, and the gem is actually the source of the effect. Different stones can carry different effects, and the class of gem determines its potency. Decrease gem-spawning a bit to balance it, and this could be a fun twist on the vanilla system.

3). That's a big goal of the mod already, actually. It's mitigated somewhat by SSP considerations, but the goal is in fact to encourage civilization. What I'd love to see (or do, if I knew Java well enough to) is create a sub-mod of TFC that turns down crop yields a bit, makes leatherworking more difficult, etc. Have the mod for SMP servers to force teamwork, but disable it for SSP to be playable alone.

I like the third idea, maybe this can be an addon for servers

i dunno, i like that idea actually.

Leather was already used irl in the hilts of swords, gripping a piece of wood would give you splinters.

i can see the idea of an augmentation system (like the one in diablo / fable) being a little op if its not implemented correctly, most worlds would need a dry start to make kind of system work.
