a fishing economy, would this be possible? I'd be willing to help if this is the case. I know there is no water currently in the game, but is it in the code?

Well "water" isn't exactly hard.. You can just create an impassable "wall" that looks like water (Ive already had this idea) however fishing is a bit more complicated. First you would have to make the "wall" randomly generate random fish after receiving x amount of work from a pawn.
Secondly you would have to add an entirely new skill to the game, or at the very least add a similar functionality as "research" to the "hunting" skill or something.
Definately needs a lot more knowledge than what I have, but it could be doable. I doubt however many modders would put in such a lot of work for such a small feature... You never know if someone has nothing better to do haha

ItchyFlea has a Map Generator that includes water:

A very basic fishing job would be as simple as finding a square at the edge of the water to stand on for a while, and then at the end having a chance of spawning a fish. Maybe you could create a fishing area, similar to a growing area, that could only be placed on squares at the edge of the water. Every so often those squares could create a fishing job that needs to be done. I've never actually looked at the growing area code so I'm not sure exactly how it handles it, but I'm sure someone could come up with a way of making something like this work.

really great responses guys! Thanks, it give me a lot to think about. I think it would fall in under the hunting skill set.

I think that this is a great idea and that you should definitely do it if you can. :D

This would be a cool addition to the new map worlds including water.

I wanna see this happen!
Here's a space fish to work with, if anyone uses it please credit me and let me know. Also if it needs to be bigger I can help out with that.
