Give 'Capture Live Fish' job to fish cleaner
« on: January 06, 2009, 04:14:50 am »
Or anybody really, fisherdwarves will only attempt to catch a live fish after several dozen dead ones and then will usually cancel the job for one reason or other. And you can't turn off 'kill-fishing' and leave 'live-fishing' on. And then if you're not quick enough to forbid it some random dwarf will gulp down your long awaited piscine prize live and wriggling. If someone else took the job, then enough fish will survive long enough for you to get them to their intended tanks and forbid them.

It would also be better if dwarves wouldn't automatically eat live trapped vermin instead of food, maybe be able to assign cages/aquariums to eat from or something.

Dwarven eating priorities are a bit backwards with prepared meals being ignored because a lump of moldy dirt was a bit closer. Heaven forbid if there's a roach somewhere, one simply must partake even if it takes a month to get it

Fishing and live fishing could be different labors yet dependent on the same skill
