Villager trading and zombie drops

[spudcosmicc 2]

The game should be updated so that zombies don't drop vannila ingots. and when villager trading comes around soon, We'll be able to trae or vanila tool recipies. This should change and villagers should trade terra firma craft items. Just thought I should bring this to attention.

The whole villager trading thing will most likely be disabled when it goes official until I can put in a system that compliments TFC correctly. As far as mob drops, I know about this, but it's not high on my list atm.

im just going to say this outright, the current villagers not only suck, they look horrible and are not something that realy fits in with this mod, this is just my opinion and you obviously do not have to implement this but, you should replace those weird testificates with more realalistic npcs, like humans, or atleast something that looks good rather then like a caveman squidward, im all for tolerance and stuff, and there are some texture packs that make the current villagers look pretty good, like makking them look like vivi or those things from starwars. but to more realalistic feeol to the villages, i think a new mob/villager is needed, maybe even implement hostile villages, again this is just my opinion, and you may disagree with me entirely or may just decide to reskin them, its up to you, love the mod man keep it up

I've been scanning this forum and haven't seen (but honestly could've missed) anything about trading the way that Dwarf Fortress handles it.

 

Is it feasible, at least in single player, to have some merchants show up once a year and trade with the player(s)?

 

This would make gems and works of art and trade goods and surplus supplies more useful.

 

Please?

i dunno, as cool as NPC villages are, i think they kind of ruin the feel of minecraft

 

i liked the feeling of being plopped by yourself in a completely uninhabited world, just you, the environment, and your imagination to guide you

the occasional ruins here and there, like the dungeons or stongholds, were neat, giving a hint that there might have been something here before

but full working villages and towns for you to mooch off of instead of building your own home just kinda killed that feeling

I don't want villages.  I want a trader to come visit me after a year of labor.  And then I won't see another trader or caravan for another year.

thing is, if we did that, we'd have to explain where they came from, how they know you're there, and why they randomly decide to trade with you

 

and plus having a trader means there would be multiplce civilizations on this world for trade to happen.

Sort of with Noodles and Bioxx on this; having traders in a game like TFC sort of ruins the magic, or at least the direction we'd like the mod to go in.

That makes me sad.  I also finished my sandwich and now have no sandwich, this also makes me sad.

 

However, I just learned that beneath my spawn is a massive cassiterite and copper mine.

Honestly, it's pretty difficult to argue with a statement like "traders in the game would ruin the magic."

One may as well say "I don't like that idea... and I don't like chocolate either."

All in all, the game is amazing and I appreciate the work you guys have done on it.

 

Being someone who spends all my time in single player I thought that the idea of traders coming once a year might lend itself to the same sort of specialization which you guys seem to desire in multiplayer, id est someone focusing on farming or tending to animals or some sort of crafting so that they can eventually trade with what they've made to acquire those things they're not too good at acquiring.

 

However, I've had my say and I appreciate your listening.

 

I'm now going to go scour all the copper and tin from my mine.

maybe not a trader but if there was a way to spend all that gems

i call for a structure that is spawned during generation that has some sort of trading "device" like a temple or something in which the gems could be traded for random tfc items. Kind of like a slot machine.

yeah 'cause that totally makes any kind of logical sence or fits in with TFC at all.
