Why?! Oh why do fishes assigned to a pond die and rot?!!
« on: December 19, 2014, 06:14:18 pm »

What it says on the tittle, I'm trying to fill an artificial pond with live captured fish, assigning them to a pond zone and they simply stay there, dying. Why?

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?
My ship exploded midflight, but all the shrapnel totally landed on Alpha Centauri before anyone else did.  Bow before me world leaders!

Is the whole thing filled with 7/7 water?

It is. I was dumping them on the shore, on a ramp. Right now I made a small pier so they get pitted/assigned on a "pure" water tile and see what happens from there.

they should breathe normally in any 4/7 or higher tile, ramps included.  Idk, and Ive never tried making an actual koi pond.

Ok, they don't die but remain still the whole time. Even after I remove the zone. After that I made the zone over it again and instantly it was marked as "raw" fish. Might have something to do with the fact the pond is on the mountain biome side? Or maybe because I'm not using a cage but an animal trap, but as far as I know the only way to trap fish is with an animal trap.

What kind of fish are they? Are they small vermin fish or large live fish?
There is a bug with large fish that if you tame them, they will not move.

Vermin kind, steel trout and the sort, catch from a brook, not tamed, just captured and assigned to the pond.

I think they can airdrown,evidenced when adventurers catch them.

the real issue I would think is that they spawn/despawn teleport.  like I said, Ive never done it so I dont know.

you should try tame ones for science.

Can't tame them, (or don't know how). The kneel says there's no small tamable animal. I'll assign a live lamprey to the pond and designated it as animal training too and see if I can do it from there.
