Questions about Fishing
« on: July 19, 2010, 10:14:34 am »
I'm trying to set up my Fishing 'industry' and I've got a couple of questions about it. Do the fishers bring back the fishes to the fortress? Or is it like woodcutting where they just leave it to be hauled by someone else? Also, what type of hauling is Fish under? TIA

Food hauling. They'll bring back their catch to the nearest food stockpile with "raw fish" subcategory activated. The dwarfy option would be to fish from within the fort, by bringing the water to you instead of you going to the river.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

The dwarfy option is to pour magma on it. Then have your fish dissectors pick apart the obsidian to find the food.
