Suggested Name: Carpenters Blocks - Cannot Place Thatch on Slopes

Description: As of the new version of TFC I am unable to place Thatch on to Carpenters Blocks (Slopes). This is rather unfortunate as I build a really pretty house with a beautiful thatch roof

This very likely has to do with the extreme changes to thatch blocks in 79. I doubt that carpenters blocks can support blocks which mobs and players walk through, so that's why they don't work.

It seems like this might be solvable via a config, I am doing more research into it.

You might want to check with this guy... look like as sloped thatch roof in the screenshot

That screenshot also has extrafirma lanterns in it, which hasn't been updated for 1.7.10 yet.. so it's probably an old screenshot.

I admit, the picture is old, but I think the problem is that you can walk through the thatch. (Same problem happens with other mods with walk through blocks). I will look into this to see if it can be fixed (it probably can't be fixed with TFC or CP doing something, but meh)

[aliceingame 114]

we would need a solid thatch block, something like thatch + lumber (so it's a metal age building material) that would make it possible to use it on carpenter's blocks and also make it more practical roofing material

[kev12east 21]

OK, I fixed it in the CB config, make the cover options look like this: 

    # This allows restricted blocks to be used as covers.

    # Add your own by supplying the display name for the block (en_US only).

    S:"Cover Exceptions" <

        Silverwood Planks

        Greatwood Planks

        Thatch

     >

 

Then restart the client, and you have thatch in slopes, thank you for pointing this out, I can now fix that in my modpack. I wonder if it can be done with logs aswell...

You want a thatch roof for aesthetical reasons, right? I was just thinking - why not remove thatch altogether (as of now it hasn't much purpose anyway), and make similar looking solid reed roof blocks, which would need to be bound together by rope (quite expensive, isn't it?).

I come from a rather flat part of Austria with a large lake - people there have been using reeds from that lake as a roofing material for centuries (and some still do). That looks quite appealing in real life too, and would finally give some use to these cattails

Edit: that was meant as an answer to aliceingame, sorry for off-topic, that idea would be better off in the suggestion forum ...

Good to see that there is a solution!

 

Yes, thatch is cool! If fit the TFC timeframe and it's a traditional building material for roof in Europe and in Japan too.

 

This is how cool thatch roof can be : http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e5951.html
