So... My dwarves decided to fish in the magma pipe apparently. I wonder if this is a result of making them magma proof, if so, does that mean there ARE, somewhere, magma fish?
I tried searching the forums, but couldn't come up with any results of similar cases.

So.
Magma fish.
Silicon-based life-forms you can render down for mineral oil? Fish that menace with spikes of obsidian?
Curious if anyone's encountered any magma fish or some such, or if my encounter is merely a bug.

[CrossBolt]

I hope it's dorf science time, cause it includes magma anyway

[Kamudo]

There are Magma crabs.. o.o Maybe they've got.. Crab meat.. Or something. O-o

My magma pipe's got crabs?
Damn, I think there's a cream for that...

Anyway, thinking of making a sort of fish that lives in magma, making it the mutant spawn of a fire imp and a carp. Maybe give it a huge value so it offsets the fire-breathing hazard of catching them... Or just vermin ones based on fire snakes.

I'm pretty sure magma crabs arn't in 40d

You kids and your crazy theories about things that have already established explanations.

When you get that message, it means that you have a pool of water somewhere in the 48x48 block containing your magma pipe. For the purposes of fishing, each feature you have on your map is its own little biome. The message you get tells you that the fish population within that biome is depleted.

You'll get similar messages for rivers, chasms, underground rivers, and even... other features.

This does not mean you're going to get magma fish. Ever. Not unless you mod them in.

[Kamudo]

Yeah. I just noticed that the title contained 40d.

I didn't see it there before. Sooo sorry. >.<

I really want to see how the game will call the fun stuff.

[Ieb]

I recall that was the Underworld.
Some guy had a fisherman wander down there after the invasion of scuba-divers was thwarted.

"There is nothing to catch in the underworld."

[Grumman]

"There is nothing to catch in the underworld."

"...except a severe case of VIOLENT DEATH."

[Hyperturtle]

I concur!  And the violent death often comes when you least expect it!

[Sinistar]

Yes, because unlike Spanish Inquisition, violent death is still expected in DF, despite being always near kobold-like sneaky.
