About ocean fishing.
« on: January 31, 2012, 05:06:51 am »
Is there some easy fix so that an ocean doesn't run out of fish? Because that is silly.

I'd settle for turning off fish extinction everywhere somehow, then turning it back on after the ocean fort is done.

If I remember correctly, there's a limit on the number of entities in the map at any given time. Try killing other wildlife (on land) and it should respawn the fishes.

You could delay it by changing the fishes' population number to something huge like

[POPULATION_NUMBER:30000:40000]

No, the biome populations are picked when the world is generated, and can't be changed in an active game.
