      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.

Fire Starting

7 posts in this topic

Just a silly idea i came up with, Sorry if its been said in another post i had a quick browse through the topics.

Basically just a small minigame type thing for starting a fire, sort of like you do now with the anvil.

For rubbing two sticks together eg. the firestarter

The black arrow will keep getting pulled to the right and you have to keep pressing the button faster and faster till its in the hot zone (red) then hold it there while its catching fire.

You can tell how far along by the center graphic changing between smoke to smouldering etc.

Or if you make a flint and steel have a smiliar minigame where you have to press the strike button at the correct moment when the black arrow is inline with the red.

The black arrow moves up and down

I like the concept of a mini game especially with fire starting as there is currently no feedback when you click if you fail(apart from durability loss on the fire starter).

But the idea of spamming my mouse doesn't sound too appealing.

Perhaps like in the anvil there could be the names of certain techniques eg (Spin sticks, rub, blow air, ect). And again the game could be based on getting the sticks hot enough but certain circumstances are good and others are bad eg: if you use blow to early you blow it out, if you spin for too long you could knock off the ember, if you rub for too long you suffocate the ember.

Thanks Deez, AlexDC I like your idea also it doesn't have to be the way I put it forward, I just think it would be great to have some sort of mini game as starting a fire with two sticks isn't an easy thing. It would also make u ensure u always had wood on hand to keep fire going or else you have to do it all over again.

Cheers guys

Just a silly idea i came up with

As silly as making a game made of blocky 3d graphics in the twentyfirst century. Boy, you nailed, this is just what the game needs in the next release. Feedback and semirealistic dificulty, gives another hability to master, gets the randomness out of firestarting, makes it more important to stockpile wood and watch for the fire, and it looks plain good.

The flint and steel concept is nice for "iron age" firestarting, the wood and stick could work as AlexDC explained as a nice "stone age" firestarter.

No, really, now that I've read about it I really want the fire to work this way.
