Darwin: From Stone To Steel (SMP mod)

The mod is called "Darwin", and its main objective is to lead players through the technological history of mankind, while emphasizing and highlighting the benefits of teamwork and cultural development amongst the players, giving rise to communities.

The idea behind the mod is to encourage people to form communities, and to rely on other players to contribute their preferred skills (hunting/mining/smithing/engineering/etc) to the community for a mutually beneficial and satisfying real-world multiplayer experience.

Players will have a somewhat limited set of skills that they can perform, which are subject to the resources (and consequently; the technologies) available to them. With limited skill sets, players will need to rely on one another to perform tasks and to advance technologies within their community.

Communities are likely to develop and employ technologies based on the resources available to them, and therefore, communities will flourish in and around areas where particular resources appear. Some communities will form trade relations with other communities that spring-up near different resources.

The plethora of resources that appear in our mod, generate far more scarcely than typical ores in Vanilla, but they do appear which much greater diversity, and in much, much, much larger deposits… just like real-world geology. This mechanism is part of the magic that makes it difficult for communities to harvest "everything" around them, thus preventing technological leaps and bounds. Combined with the limiting skill set system, which prevents players from becoming a collection of "Individual Supermen", the mod is all about community, and teamwork. Basic politics will assuredly arise, and simple governments may form, struggles for power, or wars over resources may even occur. History will write itself.

Skills can be learned, and taught, or even discovered… using a simple educational mechanic we've devised. It's an elegant solution that will surely give rise to Masters and Apprentices, as players learn their craft. The quality and quantity of the products and commodities created and traded are reflective of the skills and skill levels of the craftsmen and the members of the community.

We are adding new and interesting ways of practicing the craftsmanship behind each technology, outside of the Vanilla "Crafting Table", so that players can immerse themselves into the roles and the trades that they favour. Some players may become Leatherworkers (using the Leatherworking and Tanning interface), or Blacksmiths (using our custom Forge & Smelting system), or even specialize in Agriculture, or Construction and Architecture, or Pottery, or perhaps pursue a career in Military endeavours. It all depends on where the community forms, what resources are available, and what skills are required to advance the civilization.

Communities will begin their journey in the Stone Age as foragers, utilizing sticks, rocks, animal hides… and progress into more complicated technologies as travel becomes easier and different resources become available, onwards into metallurgy... through the Iron Age, and beyond.

Sounds pretty awesome

Name could be a bit iffy, evolution and all

[ZenX2]

It sounds like it would require a lot of dedicated players

[dmillerw]

It would, which is my only bit of apprehension.

To be fair, TFC is designed for groups of like 6-8 and people still play it solo just fine

When I played it with 3 other people it just rushed right by, we had a metal vein in like an hour flat

[tratzzz]

Oh fuck, everywhere there are fun servers with working factions etc. but me being without a premium user, have to play in crappy servers with a bunch of 10 year (and actually younger) kids.


They are fucking RP-ing there. Seriously. Chat gets spammed with WHO WANTS TO BE MY WIFE and I WANT A WIFE WITH A SKIN all the time.

Fuckin' hate RPers like that. Had two kids on our server who said their characters were 8 and 11 and they roleplayed having a fucking baby. I can't quite remember what we did to spite this. I think I recall a combination of having the gods crash the wedding and a mage walking into town with a cloak and coathanger and harrassing them to let him 'do a little magic trick'.

true, but this would enforce people to assign themselves to more specific roles, which would make playing single player quite hard. that... and a certain feature that I won't go into right now.

[HyperMetalix]

Just wanna check with you guys about the 1.4pre
There's a thing where you can wear blocks as hats...
you guys know about this yet?

[tratzzz]

Oh also, a 6 and an 8 year old were in an another server. They told us that they were 15 at first, then that they are 6 and 8 and later again that they are 16 and so.


The younger one wrote much better than the older one. Like, twice as good. But later, after their house was gone (it was in this mountain) they moved to another house and they forgot how to write.

Also I went AFK and that one guy started typing like me. I came back and instantly he wrote like a major dumbfuck. He didn't even know that I was afk god damnit.

Edited:

also I gave them 2 diamond blocks out of boredom. we had almost a stack of diamond blocks at one point.

Depends, if the server owner has to install something, then its really annoying.
But mods that only require client side installation, are pretty cool, for example the Cape mod, i like mods like that.

are you retarded

I know various mods have made it possible before, but this is vanilla.

Just finished my suit of bronze armor in TFC. It took up almost all my tin and 3/4ths of my copper vein, but damn It's nice.

[Terabytez]

I really like TFC, it's a great mod, but honestly, I could never really get into it. I just got bored after a while. Like I heard someone say about this mod before "Watching Paint Dry: The Game".

[Rammlied]

There's still a lot they have to add and revamp, so yeah at the moment all there is to do is mine and build, but that's temporary. It's still fun.

Note to self: Do not build a house and farms in a swamp biome in 1.4

Honestly, if you're going to post a glitch you really shouldn't censor how to do the glitch.

[wickedplayer494]

The earlier outage of Amazon's EC2 is still creating ripple effects on minecraft.net and occasionally the skins server. Don't be surprised if you see Steve?s everywhere for the next few hours.

[credesniper]

Anybody know why the website is down?

Probably the above reason, iirc Facepunch uses Amazon cloud servers.

Decided to extend my room a bit. Then this happen.


Ceiling squids watch me... Well at least there are only two.

Ceiling squids are always annoying; they wreak havoc on the upholstery like a young betentacled kitten.

[tratzzz]

Okay, I know how to do it now.


Put your mouse on the helmet part and now on your press a button from 1-9, like choosing from the hotbar.

No idea about the emerald sword though.

Edited:

Calling shenanigans on the emerald sword.

Edited:

Pressure plates are fun!


also panes, mushrooms etc (Stuff what is rendered w/ sprites) fuck up a bit. Entities don't work (Swords, food, etc whatever you want)

[madmanmad]

I hope this bug never gets fixed, it's great.

Aww they already patched it for 1.4.1 (da faq?) prerelease

There's a command that actually allows you to do it in Single Player Commands.

[Weirdness]

Would've been cool for bukkit plugins. Like, wearing a glass block on your head made you breath underwater, or as a makeshift space helmet for rp servers.

RIP fun.

That's already possible, I think it's something like player.setArmorSlot(3, new ItemStack(Block.GLASS, 1));
