If you like mods like this you might like a game called Vintage story, a similar blocky game that has a lot more survival aspects. (Edit : seems I was mistaken, seems that vintage story was based off of this mod)
I really enjoy "physical" mods that make use of environments instead of UI menus. It just scratches my brain in such a nice way to see physical storage and stuff like stored ingots in TFC as opposed to chests and crates. SevTech: Ages was sooo much fun to play. It's like TerraFirmaCraft lite for sane people
It's always a pleasure to see a new player struggle with tfc. despite the realistic mechanics there are still a lot of thing that could be made more real... perhaps i will make an addon
If you do, might I suggest mods that add animal hostile mobs for people who do also want to play on peaceful? It'll make it more realistic while still adding the need to make shelter at night
@@revoncorvidae7826 by deafult in tfc, zombies and such don't spawn on the surface however there are a lot of predators eg. lions, bears, crocodiles; and neutral mobs like boars and wildebeasts
Caveins are not only bad for the player's safety, they also destroy or reduce ore quality when they happen. Once the first cavein occurs, the bits of cave roof where the "hardened " fell from need to be reinforced with solid blocks, even (placed) polished stone works(though if another cavein happens, it can get destroyed). This is because when digging any block, even if the block was supported, any unsupported blocks in a relatively wide area have a chance to cause caveins which then can cause a ripple effect and reach back at you. Support beams are simple, they're the same as they were in previous TFC versions. Only the horizontal support beams offer any structural support, and they do so up to 1 block above and below, and in a 4 block radius around 'em. To not mess up, just place a torch underneath and count the blocks away from torch. It's efficient to use max-length beams (5 blocks between verticals) Destroying the support beams doesn't cause caveins (though blocks affected by gravity might fall if they were already previously suspended) and after widening a digging area, it could be a good idea to re-arrange them so that they're more efficient and you don't have to make/bring more with you. Care should be taken when using the chisel, as chiseling blocks also does a block update for the purposes of caveins, and the block being chiseled is "temporarily not there", so it's a bad idea to chisel the block underneath a stone block you wanted to get in "raw" form, if that block isn't supported, as it can cause a cave-in chain.
If you like the early game of terrafirma craft youd love Vitage Story much much more. vintage story is a game made by a minecraft modder whom i believe made the mod used in the start of this video. I'd call vintage story a far better game then minecraft but its goal is different and that is a matter of opinion. It is the best survival game ive ever played and ive played plenty.
A piece of advice: as far as I've seen, TFG Modern is fully compatible with Distant Horizons! And since TerraFirmaCraft sometimes forces you to travel great distances, adding Distant Horizons would be both beautiful *and* helpful. If you have the GPU power for it. (Though, in my experience, DH causes *much less* GPU stress than shaders.)
for anyone else interested in trying out terrafirma there are two other copper ore variants that can spawn in metamorphic, sedimentary and intrusive igneous rocks as well, so while igneous extrusive rock biomes are useful you can actually get started in most biomes, and there are three bronze variations, Bismuth bronze using zinc, bismuth and copper, black bronze made of gold, silver and copper and the bronze you used which is copper and tin, its done in a way so that you can progress somewhat even if you are like 5k blocks away from any sort of igneous extrusive rock biome. Also if you get bellows and already have a charcoal forge you can fire pottery without a pit kiln, you still have to melt the bronze in a vessel in a pit kiln but otherwise you can just use the charcoal forge for practically everything
This video was awesome. Included pretty much everystep to everything of course you couldnt fit all of it. But you gave the viewer a good understand of the modpack. Pacing was amazing and it was really easy to follow what you where doing. 10/10
I love how you can always tell when a cityfolk created something with "realistic" night. Hey folks guess what, night isn't actually pitch black, that's just what it seems like with all the light pollution around you.
@@Максим-п1л4ж are you stupid? light pollution stops you from seeing the stars, night is still dark but without light pollution the sky is brighter than pitch
@user-pw8lx1ow9x Well, going from all that ambient light at night to actual darkness seems pitch black in comparison, but in actuality your eyes would adjust and night would just be... dark. But you'd see fine, if a bit more gray.
I can't personally begin to understand the appeal for sitting down and playing a mod pack like this, but I find your style of presenting the information very appealing and felt like it helped my understanding quite a lot even though I never truly intend to play this pack lol I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for future episodes of this :)
I have played through many greg tech packs and “difficult automation packs”. The reason i love it is the feeling of automating something that took you 10 hours to get makes you feel like a god. Its a feeling that you can’t really find anywhere else.
@@TonyBaloney213 Gregtech is so good at that, you'll spend your first 6 hours of LV making just 8 circuits and then 2 weeks later you can autocraft 32/s
You should use Gregtech hammers instead of pickaxes and mining hammers for mining ores, as using hammers drops crushed ores, which you can further crush into dust and throw that dust into water for ore dust. The ore dust usually gives 144 mb for "pure" ores like copper and 129 mb for "impure" ores like Chalcopyrite of molten metal. You can also skip making a copper/bronze pickaxe by using the stone hammer. The crucible is also incredibly useful, as it allows you to not only make alloys more easily, but also heat up more ingots at the same time while using the same amount of fuel. If you have any half-full ingot molds lying around, you can also heat them up and pour metal out of them; you can even make alloys inside of them.
The crucible would require traveling thousands of blocks, finding graphite, Kaolin clay, and then processing it. which would take longer from nothing to iron tools than nothing to crucible. The hammers are a good idea but using a combination of both mining and regular hammers is a lot quicker and more efficient when it comes to mining. That and just... if they didn't mine in caves, the instability system totally screwed them because they did that.
@@dakeyras4146 I didn't mean to say, that one should rush to get a crucible, I just wanted to show, that it has other uses than the blast furnace. He needs to get the crucible for the blast furnace anyway to make steel, so getting a second for his charcoal forge isn't that much more effort, as the most difficult part is first finding the kaolin clay. Not sure if it's clear but he shouldn't use wrought iron for steelmaking in the blast furnace because it just needs cast iron which he can get by smelting the ores directly or just throwing the ores in the blast furnace. He should also prepare a lot of charcoal before using the blast furnace because it uses a ton of it. The caves aren't really the problem it's just that he didn't understand how the supports worked, the only part that does anything in the supports is the horizontal block, from that block out every block within a 4 block horizontal and a 2 block vertical distance is supported. He just needs to place supports every 4 blocks. Caves make it somewhat more awkward to start placing the supports, but the roofs are naturally supported so it's just a minor inconvenience. The real problem is that it not only matters if the block above the one mined is supported it just checks for unsupported blocks within some area and causes collapses with some chance. After the first collapse, many unsupported blocks are created which become almost impossible to support without causing more cave-ins. It is also possible to make supports with different heights and widths not just 3 blocks, you can even have multiple horizontal blocks between two beams.
Im new to this channel but its been a long time since i watched etho do terrafirma stuff and your videos seem pretty nice and chill so im gonna stick around and see how things go :)
There is a game that plays a like this called vintageStory. And has a similar Grind though has built on it from the ground up and the apex of the game at the moment is getting steel. There are mechanical machines built into the game and the devs are adding new content all the time.
Man, in the first half of the video you convinced me to subscribe. I really like your logic, humor and knowledge, seems like you are the perfect minecraft channel to watch. Keep up the great work, and thank you
16:48 the prospector's pick always seemed silly to me. if it isn't used to mine anything, and a regular pickaxe doesn't have a right click function, why not just combine the two into one tool. just allow the player to prospect with a regular pickaxe
I don't mind the distinction. It allows you to use durability on something else rather than the thing your gathering with. Thus extending the lifetime of your tools.
Played a custom pack with tfc and I was basically just a farmhand to my cousin and I managed our like dozen sheep and made him food (mostly various types of animal meat and cheese) and in return he gave me shelter and tools. I loved the leather making process and I later started making alcohol and trading it around the server for metal bars
I play Vintage Craft and in watching you do the smithing section, I realised that the system TerraFirmaCraft has is much more interesting. One is total voxal manipulation, and the other is this minigame where you gotta strike the metal in the right way for you to accomplish the same thing, but with the latter it has a quality system, so the better you are at the minigame, the better your tools are. Cool.
You do realise you can still enjoy gregtech without interacting with the discord right? I wouldn't give up such an amazing mod because some idiots were being idiots
@@bliss.ovotrix i don't think bioxx and kittychanley have any affiliation with vintage story, and dunk certainly doesn't (he's working on tfc+) i can't see their names on the vintage story dev team (their website, about us section)
Vanilla minecraft: 40 hours to beat playing VERY calmly and not always pursuing the dragon. a few minutes if you semi speedrun it Some fucking mod pack: 8000 hours
Just gonna throw out a forging tutorial for anybody lol In TFC forging, all of the forge actions of have a value, red negative, green positive. You'll need to use these actions to bring the green arrow on the bar onto the red arrow, while also ending with the 3 actions shown in the grey. The values of all the actions: 2 Punch 7 Bend 13 Upset 16 Shrink -3 Light Hit -6 Medium Hit -9 Heavy Hit -15 Draw Now for me, the way I do it is basically: Bring the green arrow onto the red, regardless of if it matches the actions needed. Formulate a list of actions that in total values at 0 while also ending in the ending 3. So I'd list the last 3 and add up their values to see how much I need to negate it, then find what actions will counter it. A plate ends in 3 of any type of hit. The way I went with it was to use a hard hit with 2 light hits for the finisher, which totals to 15. And to negate those finishing 3, I would use punch and upset, as that also adds to 15. So an overall list would have been Punch [2] Upset [15] Hard Hit [6] Light Hit [3] Light Hit [0]
I tried explaining that in the commentary but it screwed up the flow of the video so I left it unexplained since the only people who care are the people who already know how it works but thank you for the exact values
Man, quite a few years back I wrote myself an AutoHotkey script to detect where the red pointer needs to end up at. Since all smithing recipes have the exact same required moves(by recipe type), just different required alignments (based on world seed and metal type), I then just type in the hotkey combo to trigger the smithing and it's done.
this pack is so realistic my pc gets hot enough to melt bronze every time i make a pit kiln edit: this is not a joke, my only device is a laptop and this modpack (while it does run) turns the thing into a jet engine, i fear one day i will load minecraft and my laptop will take off into the sky never to be seen again
did you look at journey beyond the abyss or 1000 years after the apocalypse? those are pretty realistic too. you start with one inventory slot for 1000 years after the apocalypse.
@@TheBrokenVirus tbh they made it look worse than it actually was. Most of the struggles in the video seemed to be their lack of knowledge about how the mining system works and using caves to mine for resources. That and just... not making a copper anvil first was agonizing, but fine. The difficulty between getting iron and Steel (the next thing) is harder, and still more time consuming with a good strategy and TFC (and some TFG) knowledge and good luck. Me and a friend of mine got to iron in 3-4 hours today from a new world, and it took 10 hours to finally get to get to steel. (granted, a god spawn/coincidence for iron-steel stuff.) I might make a little document in the comment section about what I would recommend other info and tips. Also, two people make the run like 1.5x faster, rather than 2x because smithing is so time consuming, and mining and finding the stuff is quicker than smithing ;-;. Solo could be an easy 5 hour run to get to iron given decent seeding. This isn't me trying to criticize them for their lack of knowledge, but most of the struggles were a fundamental lack of knowledge of how the mining system works and other small, but important changes.

I really enjoy "physical" mods that make use of environments instead of UI menus. It just scratches my brain in such a nice way to see physical storage and stuff like stored ingots in TFC as opposed to chests and crates. SevTech: Ages was sooo much fun to play. It's like TerraFirmaCraft lite for sane people
try VintageStory
It's always a pleasure to see a new player struggle with tfc. despite the realistic mechanics there are still a lot of thing that could be made more real... perhaps i will make an addon
If you do, might I suggest mods that add animal hostile mobs for people who do also want to play on peaceful? It'll make it more realistic while still adding the need to make shelter at night
@@revoncorvidae7826 by deafult in tfc, zombies and such don't spawn on the surface however there are a lot of predators eg. lions, bears, crocodiles; and neutral mobs like boars and wildebeasts
did u ever do this lol

14:15 truly the most realistic modpack
Caveins are not only bad for the player's safety, they also destroy or reduce ore quality when they happen.
Once the first cavein occurs, the bits of cave roof where the "hardened " fell from need to be reinforced with solid blocks, even (placed) polished stone works(though if another cavein happens, it can get destroyed). This is because when digging any block, even if the block was supported, any unsupported blocks in a relatively wide area have a chance to cause caveins which then can cause a ripple effect and reach back at you.
Support beams are simple, they're the same as they were in previous TFC versions. Only the horizontal support beams offer any structural support, and they do so up to 1 block above and below, and in a 4 block radius around 'em. To not mess up, just place a torch underneath and count the blocks away from torch. It's efficient to use max-length beams (5 blocks between verticals)
Destroying the support beams doesn't cause caveins (though blocks affected by gravity might fall if they were already previously suspended) and after widening a digging area, it could be a good idea to re-arrange them so that they're more efficient and you don't have to make/bring more with you.
Care should be taken when using the chisel, as chiseling blocks also does a block update for the purposes of caveins, and the block being chiseled is "temporarily not there", so it's a bad idea to chisel the block underneath a stone block you wanted to get in "raw" form, if that block isn't supported, as it can cause a cave-in chain.
If you like the early game of terrafirma craft youd love Vitage Story much much more. vintage story is a game made by a minecraft modder whom i believe made the mod used in the start of this video. I'd call vintage story a far better game then minecraft but its goal is different and that is a matter of opinion. It is the best survival game ive ever played and ive played plenty.
Nah, vintage story are way too scary.

To me, this is the absolute perfect mix of real time commentary and voiceovers. More please!
A piece of advice: as far as I've seen, TFG Modern is fully compatible with Distant Horizons! And since TerraFirmaCraft sometimes forces you to travel great distances, adding Distant Horizons would be both beautiful *and* helpful. If you have the GPU power for it. (Though, in my experience, DH causes *much less* GPU stress than shaders.)
I could probably do that
Yes. Im playing currently this modpack but with added Distant Horizons and Bliss shaders. Works great
for anyone else interested in trying out terrafirma there are two other copper ore variants that can spawn in metamorphic, sedimentary and intrusive igneous rocks as well, so while igneous extrusive rock biomes are useful you can actually get started in most biomes, and there are three bronze variations, Bismuth bronze using zinc, bismuth and copper, black bronze made of gold, silver and copper and the bronze you used which is copper and tin, its done in a way so that you can progress somewhat even if you are like 5k blocks away from any sort of igneous extrusive rock biome. Also if you get bellows and already have a charcoal forge you can fire pottery without a pit kiln, you still have to melt the bronze in a vessel in a pit kiln but otherwise you can just use the charcoal forge for practically everything
can you not put the ores in the vessel and that in the forge heating spots?
@@wolvzunion6831 nope

First vid I've seen, love the style and pack you've chosen 🔥 looking forward to the next one :)
I love how you can always tell when a cityfolk created something with "realistic" night. Hey folks guess what, night isn't actually pitch black, that's just what it seems like with all the light pollution around you.
Yeah, because light pollution makes night darker. Makes sense.
@@Максим-п1л4ж you can't see in the darkness ahead if you are surrounded by light because your eyes are optimizing for higher light level
@@Максим-п1л4ж are you stupid? light pollution stops you from seeing the stars, night is still dark but without light pollution the sky is brighter than pitch
@@Максим-п1л4ж It makes the sky look darker because you cant see the starts
@user-pw8lx1ow9x Well, going from all that ambient light at night to actual darkness seems pitch black in comparison, but in actuality your eyes would adjust and night would just be... dark. But you'd see fine, if a bit more gray.
Loved the video, it all flows really well, cant wait to see what you have in store next.
Great video, love the new format it makes it so much easier to follow if we use it as a kinda guide, keep up the great work! 🎉
Great video. Tip, use rope instead of ladders. They are easy craftable and don't need a block as support, so caveins can't destroy them.
I played a terrafirmacraft server back during lockdown in 2020. Definitely one of my favorite mods of all time, just so in depth and brutal.
I like this format
Litteraly just vintage story in minecraft, love it
Vintage Story was actually created with inspiration from TerraFirmaCraft, which is cool
@@hulihuy It actually started out as Vintagecraft, a TFC mod, interestingly enough.
I can't personally begin to understand the appeal for sitting down and playing a mod pack like this, but I find your style of presenting the information very appealing and felt like it helped my understanding quite a lot even though I never truly intend to play this pack lol
I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for future episodes of this :)
you need an extreme level of autism to enjoy this but this has been my favorite pack to play/record
@@Hecuba39 You make me doubt my own autism power level
I have played through many greg tech packs and “difficult automation packs”. The reason i love it is the feeling of automating something that took you 10 hours to get makes you feel like a god. Its a feeling that you can’t really find anywhere else.
@@TonyBaloney213 Gregtech is so good at that, you'll spend your first 6 hours of LV making just 8 circuits and then 2 weeks later you can autocraft 32/s

This is fantastic. Excellent editing, lovely minecraft gameplay, in-depth explanations, I love all this, thank you for making this video.
You should use Gregtech hammers instead of pickaxes and mining hammers for mining ores, as using hammers drops crushed ores, which you can further crush into dust and throw that dust into water for ore dust. The ore dust usually gives 144 mb for "pure" ores like copper and 129 mb for "impure" ores like Chalcopyrite of molten metal. You can also skip making a copper/bronze pickaxe by using the stone hammer. The crucible is also incredibly useful, as it allows you to not only make alloys more easily, but also heat up more ingots at the same time while using the same amount of fuel. If you have any half-full ingot molds lying around, you can also heat them up and pour metal out of them; you can even make alloys inside of them.
The crucible would require traveling thousands of blocks, finding graphite, Kaolin clay, and then processing it. which would take longer from nothing to iron tools than nothing to crucible. The hammers are a good idea but using a combination of both mining and regular hammers is a lot quicker and more efficient when it comes to mining. That and just... if they didn't mine in caves, the instability system totally screwed them because they did that.
oh nice, I'll use that in part 2
@@dakeyras4146 real and true and factual
@@dakeyras4146 I didn't mean to say, that one should rush to get a crucible, I just wanted to show, that it has other uses than the blast furnace. He needs to get the crucible for the blast furnace anyway to make steel, so getting a second for his charcoal forge isn't that much more effort, as the most difficult part is first finding the kaolin clay. Not sure if it's clear but he shouldn't use wrought iron for steelmaking in the blast furnace because it just needs cast iron which he can get by smelting the ores directly or just throwing the ores in the blast furnace. He should also prepare a lot of charcoal before using the blast furnace because it uses a ton of it. The caves aren't really the problem it's just that he didn't understand how the supports worked, the only part that does anything in the supports is the horizontal block, from that block out every block within a 4 block horizontal and a 2 block vertical distance is supported. He just needs to place supports every 4 blocks. Caves make it somewhat more awkward to start placing the supports, but the roofs are naturally supported so it's just a minor inconvenience. The real problem is that it not only matters if the block above the one mined is supported it just checks for unsupported blocks within some area and causes collapses with some chance. After the first collapse, many unsupported blocks are created which become almost impossible to support without causing more cave-ins. It is also possible to make supports with different heights and widths not just 3 blocks, you can even have multiple horizontal blocks between two beams.
Im new to this channel but its been a long time since i watched etho do terrafirma stuff and your videos seem pretty nice and chill so im gonna stick around and see how things go :)
these realistic modpacks tickle my brain
There is a game that plays a like this called vintageStory. And has a similar Grind though has built on it from the ground up and the apex of the game at the moment is getting steel. There are mechanical machines built into the game and the devs are adding new content all the time.
This modpack looks brutal as hell, I am in love.
It's so funny to look at new players trying to understand supports
I do not know why youtube recommended you, but I am happy they did

the forging system is basically the equivalent of enchantments, well forged gives a few levels of efficiency and unbreaking iirc

9:50 this sounds like something you’d hear in dr. Stone
16:48 the prospector's pick always seemed silly to me. if it isn't used to mine anything, and a regular pickaxe doesn't have a right click function, why not just combine the two into one tool. just allow the player to prospect with a regular pickaxe
I don't mind the distinction.
It allows you to use durability on something else rather than the thing your gathering with.
Thus extending the lifetime of your tools.
@@spaceman7019 that's fair, though easily fixed by just not making the right click consume durability
@@dialog_box true, but then I could just dig through rock for free.
@@spaceman7019 no, mining would still take durability. just prospecting would be free
@@dialog_box and so i'd just keep prospecting.
Played a custom pack with tfc and I was basically just a farmhand to my cousin and I managed our like dozen sheep and made him food (mostly various types of animal meat and cheese) and in return he gave me shelter and tools. I loved the leather making process and I later started making alcohol and trading it around the server for metal bars
TFC is perfect for anyone, thats really cool that you had a server like that
How the heck did you find a server for that, that sounds amazing!
@@ImJustBag it was my actual cousin's server with a custom modpack he put together like a summer ago
This modpack is basically the dr.stone experience
I play Vintage Craft and in watching you do the smithing section, I realised that the system TerraFirmaCraft has is much more interesting. One is total voxal manipulation, and the other is this minigame where you gotta strike the metal in the right way for you to accomplish the same thing, but with the latter it has a quality system, so the better you are at the minigame, the better your tools are. Cool.
TFC and vintage story are made by the same people so its interesting that they made 2 different systems
You do realise you can still enjoy gregtech without interacting with the discord right? I wouldn't give up such an amazing mod because some idiots were being idiots
What happened?
Idk i feel like being so whiny over such minute things is the idiotic thing tbh
@@toucan6109 what the situation? Why is he trying to boycott GregTech?
Dabazuka Some people had a political argument in a GT server or something. Which is pretty damn tame.

@@Myce_Mycologic Vintage Story is partially inspired by TFC.

Vanilla minecraft: 40 hours to beat playing VERY calmly and not always pursuing the dragon. a few minutes if you semi speedrun it
Some fucking mod pack: 8000 hours
When real life is not hard enough so you played this modpack
I really think you should give a look into Vintage Story, might be what you are looking for.
Just gonna throw out a forging tutorial for anybody lol
In TFC forging, all of the forge actions of have a value, red negative, green positive. You'll need to use these actions to bring the green arrow on the bar onto the red arrow, while also ending with the 3 actions shown in the grey.
The values of all the actions:
2 Punch
7 Bend
13 Upset
16 Shrink
-3 Light Hit
-6 Medium Hit
-9 Heavy Hit
-15 Draw
Now for me, the way I do it is basically:
Bring the green arrow onto the red, regardless of if it matches the actions needed.
Formulate a list of actions that in total values at 0 while also ending in the ending 3.
So I'd list the last 3 and add up their values to see how much I need to negate it, then find what actions will counter it.
A plate ends in 3 of any type of hit.
The way I went with it was to use a hard hit with 2 light hits for the finisher, which totals to 15.
And to negate those finishing 3, I would use punch and upset, as that also adds to 15.
So an overall list would have been
Punch [2]
Upset [15]
Hard Hit [6]
Light Hit [3]
Light Hit [0]
I tried explaining that in the commentary but it screwed up the flow of the video so I left it unexplained since the only people who care are the people who already know how it works but thank you for the exact values
Man, quite a few years back I wrote myself an AutoHotkey script to detect where the red pointer needs to end up at. Since all smithing recipes have the exact same required moves(by recipe type), just different required alignments (based on world seed and metal type), I then just type in the hotkey combo to trigger the smithing and it's done.
this pack is so realistic my pc gets hot enough to melt bronze every time i make a pit kiln
edit: this is not a joke, my only device is a laptop and this modpack (while it does run) turns the thing into a jet engine, i fear one day i will load minecraft and my laptop will take off into the sky never to be seen again
Pretty insane mining efforts. No wonder the early industrialists wanted to go strip mining instead.

@@TheBrokenVirus god spawn
@@TheBrokenVirus tbh they made it look worse than it actually was. Most of the struggles in the video seemed to be their lack of knowledge about how the mining system works and using caves to mine for resources. That and just... not making a copper anvil first was agonizing, but fine. The difficulty between getting iron and Steel (the next thing) is harder, and still more time consuming with a good strategy and TFC (and some TFG) knowledge and good luck. Me and a friend of mine got to iron in 3-4 hours today from a new world, and it took 10 hours to finally get to get to steel. (granted, a god spawn/coincidence for iron-steel stuff.) I might make a little document in the comment section about what I would recommend other info and tips.
Also, two people make the run like 1.5x faster, rather than 2x because smithing is so time consuming, and mining and finding the stuff is quicker than smithing ;-;. Solo could be an easy 5 hour run to get to iron given decent seeding. This isn't me trying to criticize them for their lack of knowledge, but most of the struggles were a fundamental lack of knowledge of how the mining system works and other small, but important changes.
