Ocean suggestions

[TwixFunSize]

With the new Alpha 6 that came out, I was really excited about Oceanss. So far it does basically nothing. I have a few ideas for later alphas that will improve Oceans.
1. Fishing should be an option using a fishing rod or a trap.
2. Special material that allows building on water.

These are ideas that i feel are a good addition to the game. Thanks

Yeah, I would like to see fishing. I think Tynan already has that on his long term to-do list though, so we'll just have to sit tight.

Awwww man! I just posted a fishing topic and relished I was too late.
But good ideas! I support

Agreed, fishing seems like a no-brainer now that we have water. Fishing rods could be a manufacturable item, or one you trade for (locals would be an excellent source, you know, to teach a man to fish as they say).

And the very first thing I did when I spawned on a map with lakes was to check if any sort of bridge had been added.

Finally, if we get really fancy some day... Trenches/moats.

Good idea, though I for one think about the slower paced fishing, send in your colonist and (s)he may or may not catch something in about half a day. Since it would be an unlimited supply of foods, you know...

But the build on water idea is something I do not support personally, sorry

Maybe we could have those wooden pillars that support building like in the swamps of florida

I'd love to build some platforms over shallow water and mud =P
I have two steam geysers really close to my base, They're both invalid building locations cause of mud and water
yay!

If the shit hits the fan at base, you can bug out onto the ocean in a big 30-40" boat, this could have good opportunities for pirates.

Apparently the map will only generate with one side as coast; that's too bad, I found a one-square island in the ocean to land on and I thought it'd be cool to make an island fortress.
