      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.

Markings availability

I think it would be a good idea to give the player the ability to make markings with objects other than ink sacks, as they can be super rare in a world with out a readily available ocean.

Perhaps the player could use charcoal to make markings, or make ink from mushrooms, or, more historically accurately, make ink form graphite when ground and mixed with water.

I think it's a really good idea, because finding squids is even harder than finding native platinum.

WHAT? This is.... just wrong. Except for the pres where squid were not spawning they are VERY easy to find. I have a small pond next to my base where squid spawn regularly. Squid are in now way at all rare and they don not only spawn in oceans. This is not to say that I don't agree that other things should be used to make markings. I like the graphite idea and the charcoal idea, both make sense and would be nice to have in the game, but I would say that the reason to add them would be because it's realistic not because squid are rare, they are VERY common.

Bioxx just remedied a bug which was hindering squid spawns for some people in pre22. Make sure you have the latest release (b2pre23+).

What pre-prelease were you running when you couldn't find squid? Like I said, I like the ideas but this is a beta mod. If you aren't finding any squid at all then you can be sure that it's because of a bug, which means it will be fixed or it already has and you need to update your mod to the newest release. Everyone who is running pre24, which is the most up-to-date release can find squids if they just hang out near some water for a while.

This is a good idea, I agree that charcoal can be used to make markings like it was in the real world at one point.

I used the latest at that time, now it's been fixed, Jesus he updates alot.

And yeah using charcoal would make alot sense, maybe by killing squids you get more markings then with charcoal?
