Hello, Rikiki!

Please, update mechanoid terraformer and caveworldflora.

We made full translation into keyed, and now possible to translate this mods for all languages:

Thank you!

Well you see, when you butcher a tailteeth for example, you get LOTS and i mean LOTS of meat, if you butcher 5 blueblade you get around 50 something fillets, and by having 1 fisher, i have more meat than if i was to hunt all of the map's wildlife combined >_<

Mmh, you get only 150 meat for 1 the tailteeth. This is equivalent to a boomalope. Given the low chance to catch a tailteeth and its size (I imagine it the size of a crocodile), I don't see where is the problem.

About the balance, I can still lower the catch success rate. I must experiment with it more for myself.
However, when I order to hunt a herd of 5 muffalo, it will take me 2 days and my fridge will be full of meat for several days.

Yeah but think about it this way: Fishing spots never run out, animals do, thus making fishing better than hunting, not to mention you cannot get injured while fishing, and fish sell extremely well.

[zenfur]

Yeah, I agree with David. The issue is, that fishing (assuming you have a pod large enough to have fishing piers) in comparison to hunting:

• is safe
• is reliable - fish never run out
• is on spot - you can set up kitchen/base right next to the fish source so it saves a lot of time walking

The only hunting advantage over fishing is that you get extra $$$ for leathers.

I've had around 7-9 fishermen single handedly feeding 110 colonists + 50 prisoners colony on the desert, while with hunting it would never be possible.

Also in my opinion hydroponics completely sucks in comparison to fishing: it requires tons of time, tons of food and power to brew single fish, while fisherman would get tons of them.

I could suggest 2 solutions for tuning fishing down:

• 
  make chances of catching better fish (tailteeth) much more dependant on the fishermen' skill and tool type/quality. Make it so that it's much more difficult to catch something big with primitive tools or fishing skills, while masterful fishermen could fish better than current ones
• possibly add fish population mechanics in fishing piers which would affect fishing chance and regenerate faster the bigger the water reservoir is.

I think some fish should only be catchable during certain seasons, tailteeth during spring for example.

The limited fish population i do not like, i believe simply nerfing the fishing speed by 30% so is enough, while buffing aquaponics ( i believe is what its called ), which could be as simple as add fish eggs that can only hatch in man-made aquatic areas, which makes sense with the game since there is stuff like wargs or megascarabs.

[zenfur]

Yeah. To be honest, I also don't like limiting population, but it would solve the problem

[ProtoTypeRaavyn]

I can't seem to make my people fish. I have like 50 rods made and still no fish.

Have you tried to equip one of your colonist with a rod?

[LustrousWolf]

Since fishing is a different skill, could you maybe add in some child hood and adult hood backgrounds so there are some pawns good at fishing? because i can never find a good fisher and end up leaving this mod out till like end game where i finally find a decent fisher xD

Hi all, my last mod has been released.
Let's organize some fun campfire parties!

About Fish Industry: following your suggestions, I am testing the "limited fishstock" feature.
With my calculations, "sea fishing" will provide an average of 80 food units per day while "marsh fishing" will only provide 40.
I will probably release it tomorrow.

Oh ? What is considered sea fishing btw ?

[skyarkhangel]

LOL! Great idea, rikiki!

Really liking the Fungi mod, I like the additional harvesting options that they bring, and I love the lighting effect around my base.
suggestion:
1x1 fungi basins that grow decorative fungi that have either a random or specified grow color. Minor source of light and beauty, I suggest nightlight shroom

small bug I found:
if you build a floor (carpet, tiles, etc) or smooth the stone underneath the fungiponic basins they stop working. I think it's cause your code causes the shrooms to not see that as a viable growing surface anymore despite being in a basin.

Again, great mod.

[Rikiki]

Hi Rampart!
Thanks for the report, I will have to investigate the flooring impact on shroom growing.

I will consider your decorative shroom idea for next release but I fear it may be too redundant with the vanilla flower pot and may require too much effort to create a specific shroom pot only for decorative purpose. Good idea anyway, I like it!

[TheGrover]

@1000101: excellent idea! I will do this for the next update.

@Quoth: don't worry, there is no virus in my mods What is your browser?

@Stephanuz: you should get some info in the inspection panel if something is wrong.
To breed the fishes:
* you need a LOT of food (about 30 per day, consumed in 1 time) so make sure your hopper(s) are filled up.
* temperature must be in range [0°; 40°C].
* the basin must be powered.
The microfungus event may disturb it!
Can you post a screenshot with the temperature highlighted?

little bit of an old bump, im having a similar issue:

Basin is stocked with eggs, three other basins in the same room, plenty food in the hopper (though a stack of corn AND a stack of potatoes), temperature is well maintained at 20-21 deg and everything is powered. as soon as i add eggs, the fish health deteriorates and soon they are all dead fishes

any ideas on the cause?
