I've never actually caught any fish in the caverns, I could have sworn this was a standing bug but I haven't been able to find any reports on it. Any way to make them more common?

[Broseph Stalin]

Anybody?

[KodKod]

I can't say that I have experienced this myself, but I have at the least found a bug report for you.

[tahujdt]

It depends on the cavren.

It depends on the cavren.

I tried six different embarks on six different worlds, none of them had fish.

[King DZA]

I simply assumed that caverns weren't meant to have fish.

You can import Cave Fish and Cave Lobster and according to the raws they should appear underground with the same frequency as fish do above ground.

[Broseph Stalin]

Just to be clear is anybody catching cavern fish? Can anyone on the forum vouch for subterranean fishing being possible?

[ydaraishy]

I think this is related to the fact that there's a dearth of cave vermin in general.  When you ex(p)ort world population data from Legends mode, you'll notice there are at most only ~50000 cave fish, while there are millions of above-ground fish.

You could increase the number of cave fish and lobsters, say, by 3 times, then regen a new world. 

[Kofthefens]

I never really bother, but when I do set up a fishing zone I am always getting messages like
There is nothing to catch in the central caverns

They have the same frequency as any individual above ground fish, even with 3x frequency I can't find any.

Maybe we should check the raws for anything that is preventing them from appearing ? Like giant damselflies and damselfly men.

I'm not sure how fishing works in relation to the raws, I know it's possible and fairly common to see swarms of fish only to get the "nothing to catch" message. To begin the process of elimination I'll copy and paste the data for pond turtles onto cave lobsters and keep only the BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_WATER. If they don't appear then there may be a problem with the biome definitions, if that's the case then it may tie into the fact that an underground fishing spot will never appear to be exhausted under it's zone specs.

I know I caught some cave lobsters in 34.05

[Broseph Stalin]

Turtle swap did nothing but if geail is confirming they can be caught we need new theories.
