[Suggestion] Integration with TerraFirmaCraft

[TheEndermage220]

TerraFirmaCraft has very realistic worldgen that is based on lattitude, humidity, geology, and weather patterns. After reading the description for your mod, I felt like it would be a good companion with TFC, as TFC's temp system does not effect the player, just the worldgen, and the thirst system is more bare bones compared to Homeostatic. The mutual focus on realism between these two mods also makes it feel like a good match, but my only concern with integration would be the temperature overide that Homeostatic has built in.

Atm, attempting to boot a world with both mods installed kicks me back to the main menu with a "server disconnected" error message.

I can take a second look, but the problem with TFC is that it tries to be a do-everything-all-at-once mod that should probably be five different mods. This makes integration nearly impossible. They don't have a good temperature or thirst system. The baseline for Homeostatic is roughly 70 degrees F or 21 degrees C. This is because that's how it works in the world. The hydration system is directly tied to thermoregulation in the body through sweating. Homeostasis is the terminology for this, hence the mod name Homeostatic.

You cannot disable the thirst system, only the water bar in TFC.

On a side note. I am planning some expansion mods for Homeostatic—one for Seasons and one for Worldgen. Since I don't think integration is really possible, I'd like some feedback on what the expansion mods could provide that would make this work well. We have the mod Survivalist Essentials, which provides additional functionality that we also utilize for survival modpacks.

The TFC devs are not far off, but I have never liked the kitchen sink approach they take, nor the GUI approach. It makes it difficult to include in survival modpacks. It's just the one all-inclusive concept.
