Go ahead and fill up the oceans all you want. But it doesn't necessarily have to be boring old fish. If it's gotta be fish, make them cool unusual fish, like extinct ones or completely original ones.

Sorry, I'm just not winning the creativity. I have got unique other things, but mostly boring regular fish in the fish. I was just thinking in terms of catching fish for food. Especially with all these creatures that supposedly eat fish.

Sure! Just so long as vodka.

Anyway, elsewhere. I'm making a race of humanoid vampire hunters, with like sun obsessed culture and fanaticism. They're called "Solar Children" and I haven't well developed them yet. However, noone ever answered my question. Is there anyway to force a building to require light?

* sighs * Well, then I'll just forbid the Solar Forge to only work on certain metals and only to be used by the Solar Children.

Sorry...
If you need creativity for fish I have plenty of ideas to give.

Ah well, the challenge of an artist is working within the confines of a medium.
Sure! Go ahead. Cos like... I'm just thinking of real life fish like trout and stuff. ( I'm going to add Marlin and Catfish no matter what, but I'd like to be more creative about the generic food fish. ) Also, fish will be the first body template I've ever made, so feel free to check my work when I upload it.

Re: Solar Forge requiring light
How about requiring the "outside" tag?  Sorta the inverse of chairs or beds that require the "inside" tag to be true to be built, perhaps it forbids when the "inside" flag is present...

What type of fish do you want? Vermin fish or the other kind?

That's not something you could do with the raws though. Maybe with DFHack, but I'm not sure, plus I think it's already been agreed to not mod in anything that requires DFHack.

I'm guessing vermin, since those are the only kind that can be caught and cooked in vanilla.

Some of the deep sea fish are interesting, or terrifying, depending on how you look at them.

Well, currently fisheries and oceanic predators rely upon large schools of Red Squid, Ammonites, and Trilobites, while catching singular Nautili and Burdles. So, "Fish" basically currently just means stuff in the water that people eat, though those species do have very large populations. Again, if lacking in creativity, looking to extinct fish would be a good idea, since they're not just the ordinary stuff.
