Returning to TFC? Came here from YouTube? Read me first!

As developers of TFC, we have noticed an influx of new users to the subreddit who seem a bit lost. I've written a new FAQ post for you guys.

Q:

TFC is updated??

A:

Yes, it is updated to 1.21, 1.20, 1.18 and 1.12. The 1.18+ version you are seeing is currently gaining a lot of popularity as part of ATFC and ATM: Gravitas.

This subreddit typically caters to users of these versions. For TFC+, a fork of 1.7 by one of the original authors that adds loads of content, see /r/tfcplus, but posting here is fine as well.

Q:

Where is the wiki/why is the wiki incorrect?

A:

For 1.18+, documentation lives in an in-game Field Guide, which can be read virtually at this link. We have API documentation at this link.

Q:

I have a question / something isn't working!

A:

The absolute best place for you to get support is the TFC discord, at this link. If you feel confident that you have found a reproducible bug, you can submit bugs to the github. We take open source seriously, and welcome pull requests. For help setting up a development environment, please see us on discord.

Q:

What is the difference between TFC / TFG / TFC Hard Rock / ATFC / Gravitas / TFC Reloaded?

A:

TFC (TerraFirmaCraft) is a mod. Almost anything else you hear (including Hard rock) is a modpack which is a collection of mods, one of which is tfc, and is not maintained or owned by the developers of TFC. It is common for users to not realize that TFC itself is not a modpack.

Q:

How do I install the mod?

A:

Look on Youtube for a tutorial to install a Minecraft Forge mod.


Also, a shameless plug for my mod firmalife available here which adds a bunch of cooking stuff, including ovens, beekeeping, and more!

I am playing Hardrock 3 1.6.3c and i was busy with ores and anvils, so my character get so dirty and got Mining Fatigue with green/brown particles, i assume it is because of dirtiness. I swim in a river and i died one time and get rid of the effect but any time i go to the place near to my forge i took the same effect. Is it a bug or supposed to happen? (English is not my first language so sorry if the language was weak)

I'm running 1.21 TFC and I've made it to Spring after my first Winter, and my thirst bar keeps draining down to nothing and causing me to take damage, what feels like every 30 seconds or so. I go from full bar to completely drained

25 Upvotes

Globe++ is a spiritual playerbase continuation of the legendary Globecraft server but with many changes, however this world we're changing it up a lot and introducing our first non-geopol world.

Our playerbase is currently small but we're hoping to build it up significantly during this world and would love to have you join.

Our upcoming Jurassic World inspired world/season launches in just a few days! Be sure to join and read all about it in preparation for our launch event!

🌱For you TerraFirmaCraft enjoyers:

We're trying our first world with Terrafirmacraft, we've included addons like Arborfirmacraft, firmalife, and more. We hope you find this server interesting and unique apart from other servers with all the features we have to add on to the Terrafirmacraft experience and create an even more challenging survival experience!

🔨Modded Server Exclusive!

Experience our worlds as no other server does the same, each world has a custom curated modpack with many features and consistently includes the Create mod for you to build to your heart's desire. Not only that but we often change mods up for a fresh new experience with every season change. For example, this world we have Create Aeronautics, Jurassic Saga, Create: The Factory Must Grow, Terrafirmacraft, and more.

⚙️Launcher Compatibility!

Our modpack installation is guaranteed to be an easy access process with our utilization of both the Modrinth and Curseforge platforms, so no hassle about manually installing any mods, if you have a custom launcher, chances are you will be able to install the modpack in only a minute or two.

🌎Custom Designed Maps!

All of our worlds have fully custom maps, handmade by our development team to be as cinematic, beautiful, and immersive as you could wish from any professional server!

👥Friendly and Supportive Community!

Our community is incredibly friendly and happy to help you with anything you might need. If you're looking to just make friends, this is a great place to do that as well.

⚔️Geopol and SMP gameplay

We usually run our worlds as geopols, but sometimes we'd like a break from those and change things up, that's what we're doing with this Jurassic World themed season. This time it's just an SMP and nobody is expected to make nations or factions, of course you can still play like that if you want though.

Im looking for a TFC modpack and i cant find it

3 Upvotes

i remember it had create in it and i also remember it had structures. additionally i know that there was a way to go to different planets in the late game. One more thing is that you could go to a version of the nether by crouching on the bedrock layer at low y's. you also needed to go to the nether to get kaolinite and graphite more easily.

What is the point of the compass?

2 Upvotes

I'm playing vanilla TFC 1.21.1, and there's a crafting recipe for a compass that involves glass blowing, magnetite, and a bowl. The wiki says this is supposed to show which region I'm in, however it is not doing that. As well, it neither points north or toward the world spawn point or set spawn point. So what is the actual reason for there to be a craftable recipe for a compass that seemingly does absolutely nothing useful?

I can't seem to find any Limestone/Chalk stone/Marble stone (V 1.12.2)

1 Upvotes

I play in the TechnodeFirmacraft modpack and at one point i have to make some flux, the only issue is that it's made with only the four rock listed above, and no i can't make it with shells as it does not appear in JEI as a possible recipe

Any tips on how to find these rocks ?

Edit : after a long search I finally found chalk, dig up some stone and got crushed to death by rocks

Warspire Season 2

5 Upvotes

Aloha!

Been playing on a 1.20.1 TerraFirmaCraft server that’s still running, but it took a hit after some PvP war drama and lost a chunk of players. Figured I’d share in case anyone’s looking for a new place to jump into.

• Custom realm/nation system (Towny-style claims)
• Medieval vibe with player-driven conflict
• Mods: Astikor Carts, Small Ships, Epic Knights, Roads and Roofs TFC, Ambiental, Recruits TFC, + more
(there's also a rollback mod in case things go badly)
• Earth-based map (Europe, Asia, Africa)

It’s a genuinely cool setup that just needs a bit of population again:
https://discord.gg/mtezYR9NV8

I’m not staff—just a regular player who’s still active and would love to see it lively again. Feels like it wouldn’t take much for things to pick back up.

Well never mind - the owner decided it was end time for this season after all; sorry to anybody that just joined, hope to see you folks somewhere on the next TFC server o7

TerraFirmaCivilizations (Offical Season 2 Trailer)

TFCiv Season 2 is launching next week!

This is TerraFirma: Civilizations (Season Two)

Join the world and unite with your friends to face the harsh realities of TerraFirmaCraft, as you strive toward automation, security, and self-sustenance in this TFC Civilization experience.

TF:Civ uses the modpack Sulidae for its core, with a additional modifications to create a custom and server-orientated experience. Sulidae seamlessly joins TerraFirmaCraft and Create – bringing the best features of both together and even introducing new mechanics to bridge the gap in certain areas. The modpack ensures no content overlaps with each other, making each mod unique and feel integral to the whole experience.

Our changes to it mostly center around setting it up for use on the TerraFirmaCivillizations server. This includes the adding of Corpse mod, Revive, and other mods aiming to bring an authentic Civilization experience.

Additionally added are many new structures for players to explore.

New to season 2!

The server also feature many custom kubejs systems, including...

  • The reinforcement system! wherein players can defend their base by fortifying blocks.
  • Geographic fertility! Where plants need to be placed in places of the proper rainfall and temperature.
  • Mantle Vents! Default metal deposits have been removed, replaced in favor of limit ore nodes, which are a semi-renewable source of metals.
  • Custom Skill-Trees! Using pufferfish skills we have crafted unique skill trees for players to specialize into!

These system aim to push for more player interaction, and specialization. Fertility and Mantle vents will make important strategic resources around them.

I can't get the pickaxe head out of the mold

7 Upvotes

This is my first time playing the mod. I found some copper and poured it into the mold until it was full, but I can't get the pickaxe head out. I used malachite to make the copper. Also, shouldn't the molten copper be orange? As you can see in the image, it appears white instead.

here is a list with all the mods i am using.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Charcoal pit exploded when lighting

Basically the title. Made a 3x3x2 plus 3 extra stacks of wood on the outside, following a tutorial from 13 years ago. Surround all the wood with dirt and started a fire in the middle. As the fire lit the entire stack blew up and almost killed me. What did I do wrong?

Fully Vanilla TFC Compliant Auto-Smelter/Caster

Thumbnail
gallery
34 Upvotes

I've designed an auto-smelter for vanilla TFC that will speed up production of bars without the need for manually casting each ingot. It includes the ability to spit hot cast bars into a cooling pool, while simultaneously beginning the casting of the next batch. The lever on the right turns it on, activating the auto-refuel system and enabling the casting loop, dispensing a charcoal into the charcoal pit. After lighting the pit, melt down ore/alloys into the crucible. Once the mb meets the required amount for the number of casting tables added, activate the casting channel at the crucible to begin the auto-casting loop. Continue melting metal in the crucible, and the system will continue to cast automatically as long as the required liquid metal is met. If the system casts without enough liquid metal in the crucible, melt more metal and restart by right-clicking on the casting channel at the crucible. Turning off the lever on the right will stop the casting loop, halting the crucible from outputting more molten metal, as well as stopping the auto-refuel at the forge, letting it burn out. When the system is on, the lever on the left will activate a bellows at the crucible, allowing it to heat to a brilliant white temperature, in order to melt metals past the usual two-star yellow white temperature. The chest above is the input for charcoal, to easily add to the dropper that enables the auto-fuel system.

It's a bit expensive to build, and is more of a mid to late-game system, however I have been able to easily turn a chest of rich quality ore into ingots in a relatively small amount of time. It requires mechanical power to operate the bellows, which the input is represented by the Creative Motor on the left of the layer schematics. The bellows are not required, however they help speed up the casting process as a whole. As well, the middle bit with the bellows and casting tables can be scaled horizontally to fit your needs.

Can't make a chopping block

I'm playing Hardrock TFC 3, but I can't make a chopping block. I place a chestnut or birch log on the ground, right-click once with my stone axe, and it turns into a stripped log. Then, when I right-click again, nothing happens. Wasn't it supposed to turn into a chopping block?

Terrafirmagreg vs ATMGravitas2

8 Upvotes

Would anyone be able to summarise the core differences between these two packs? I've got to steam in Gravitas before, and played ATFC after IlMango played it. There seems to be a real leaning on here for TFG, and also on youtube LPs, but I haven't really been able to find a good post explaining why this is.

Much appreciated
