Fishing bug ? Or bugfix ?
« on: October 30, 2006, 06:25:00 am »

Okay, so i got these two fisherdwarf novices with the first immigration wave. And in a few minutes i was swarmed with fish ! I investigated, and was awed when one of them hooked up two salmon together after 10-15 seconds of fishing !

In earlier versions i believe novices only could catch a turtle, and only after a few days of fishing. Wrong ?

It depends where they are fishing for what they catch.

I've had multiple salmon (I think in the outside river), turtles (in the ponds around the river) and cave fish (inside river) in my last fort, this one only has cave fish (no outside river).

Anyway, never before had i acquired 30+ fish in a couple of minutes with two novice fisherdwarves.

I had competent fisherdwarves and they were pretty fast as well.  It sounds like a bug, but its nice to use it as a good source of food  :)

Good or lucky fisherdwarves catch fish in stacks up to size 5 to save some haul time.
