      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.

My name is Kitchen_Fire and I have just started a new series where I am trying to learn TFC. Join me though my success and failures. Feel free to offer plenty of helpful suggestions along the way. 

 

I also have a FTB Unleashed series I will be posting. 

 

Thanks in advance!

Today we jump into Terrafirmacraft. Join me as I figure out how to play TFC and die along the way. I plan to release 15 minute videos 2-3 times per week documenting my journey. I have no idea what I am doing so please offer help and information as much as possible

I have walked away from our original spawn and I am having a hard time finding a place to live. As I keep walking it only gets more difficult. Join me on my semi-dangerous journey across thousands of blocks.

We are thousands of blocks away from spawn and I am still looking for a tree. I encounter lots of zombies and spiders. Watch to see if I live after trying to kill a baby zombie.

As a bit of advice its probably worth investing in making some straw blocks to make a portable home quickly. Just left click on tall grass whilst holding a knife and it will drop some straw, then combine 4 of them in a square to make a block, the can be placed and easily breakable, i take around 12 with me when ever i am travelling long distances to make basic shelters. 

Also u should probably make some clay items (like stone tool making, just right click when in hand, use around 5 each time) recipes are in the link, u need to make a pit kiln for this as well...when u have made the items out of clay, make a 2 block hole in the ground and press shift and right click on the unheated clay items to place in the hole (4 items at a time), then place 15 pieces of straw (not blocks) in the hole, followed by right clicking + shift with a pile of 16 logs in hand, keep right clicking until they are all gone, then get a fire lighter and right click until it lights (may take a few attempts), after its finished burning u can use the items :) pots are very useful for extra inventory space early on, i recommend making at least 2 and at least 2 water jugs to start. Good luck!

Do not look for animals. The spawn logic is terrible in TFC and it might take ages before you see first animals. In my playthough, I got past steel without finding any sheep. I walked thousands of blocks in all directions before I got fed up and cheated in some wool. Die/restart the map. Build some makeshift house near spawn and start doing some pottery. Then look for some metal nuggets. Only after you get basics, start looking for animals.

And install yourself some minimap. Waypoints are invaluable in TFC.

Thanks! I am a few episodes ahead of what is posted here. I am trying to release them on a schedule. I have managed to figure out how to make the thatch blocks and my first home is made out of those. I also make my first pit kiln very soon. Thanks for the feedback! I really really appreciate it.

Yeah, I had to give up on looking for animals. I hope to randomly find some on a future adventure away from my living area. I will be getting a minimap. I agree, it is invaluable. I think I also want to install damage indicators. Any other mod suggestions?

ExtraFirma obviously.

Does ExtraFirma have world gen? I can't tell from the the forum page. More specifically, can I add the mod once I have generated my world without any issues?

Yes. It has new flower. But considering you are going to explore a lot, you are bound to hit areas that weren't generated before.

We are jumping in time a bit so you don't have to watch me run around with no idea what I am doing. After a few hours of running I finally found trees again! We will be stopping here and trying to set up my new home! Join me as I figure out what to build my house out of..

We start building a house. It is a very ugly house. It is not a home. 
Plus, I fight some mobs and try not to die.
