Whaaa... Vermin Fish Trying to walk on land O.o
« on: October 20, 2010, 09:27:43 am »
I Started a new fortress and I found lungfish squirming around on the ground, they move a couple tiles and then die. Stupid vermin corpses laying around everywhere, now i have to clean it up ughh...

DF as a game is the equivalent of sitting down and having a conversation with the homeless guy in the park who screams about flying children trying to rip his skin off.

Lungfish shouldn't spontaneously die.  My current fortress has lungfish all over the surface, but I don't think I've ever seen one die.  More likely you have cats and they're killing the lungfish.

How embarrasing, well I dont have any cats on this embark. Since when did fish go on land anyway, or has it always been so?

Lungfish have the [AMPHIBIOUS] tag, which means they can survive in or out of the water, so they will be found on land.  Other fish that have the [AQUATIC] will only be found in water.

Lungfish walking about is pretty much expected behavior, although DF doesn't model their behavior directly. They should just walk around when their rivers or ponds dry up.
