Welcome to Fishing Expanded!

This mod significantly expands fishing in Dwarf Fortress.

Currently, this mod:

> Adds 145 fish to the temperate freshwater biomes appearing at different seasons, times of day and rarities
> Adds 171 fish to the tropical freshwater biomes appearing at different seasons, times of day and rarities
> Adds 29 giant fish variants to the freshwater biomes
> Adds 31 amphibious fish person variants to the savage freshwater biomes (each fish person type favors certain personality traits, but all can be very single minded and generally don't thnk before acting)
> Adds 1 legendary fish to the freshwater biomes
> Changes all freshwater fish/fish-like creatures into vermin
> Makes all fish cookable live
> Makes fish visible in the water during gameplay
> Adds a fish processing workshop
> Adds reactions to construct aquariums from raw glass
> Adds fishing trophies (mounted fish bones) that can be placed on display furniture

Larger fish are more common in rivers and lakes. Small fish normally populate in pools and small formations of water.

Check out the Collector's Checklist! in the download file to record your fish collection!

I encourage any feedback, concerns or recommendations.

This mod is completely compatible with [47.04] Dog Breeds. Install this mod after Dog Breeds.

I am starting up on v2.0! Sharks, Dolphins and Whales!

I decided that I will only be adding sharks, dolphins, whales, porpoise and sea turtles (as creatures/not vermin) to v2.0 of the mod. I will also be changing all DF ocean fish/fish-like creatures into vermin (besides sharks, whales, other mammals and birds). All other ocean fish (vermin) will then be added to this mod in a future version (v3.0).

So, vanilla DF actually has a lot of sharks (15), but only 3 whales and no dolphins, porpoise or sea turtles. Also, vanilla DF has giant variants and animal person variants for the three whales, but none for any of the sharks.

Here is the list of vanilla DF sharks and whales:

Angelshark
Basking Shark
Black Tipped Reef Shark
Blue Shark
Bull Shark
Frill Shark
Great White Shark
Hammerhead Shark
Longfin Mako Shark
Nurse Shark
Shortfin Mako Shark
Tiger Shark
Whale Shark
White Tipped Reef Shark
Spotted Wobbeong

Sperm Whale
Orca
Narwhal

These are the new animals that I am planning on adding to v2.0:

Saw Shark
Thresher Shark
Blacktip Shark
Goblin Shark
Spiny Dogfish Shark
Sandtiger Shark
Zebra Shark
Bramble Shark
Whitetip Shark

Bottlenose Dolphin
River Dolphin
Striped Dolphin
Pink River Dolphin
White Sided Dolphin
Spotted Dolphin
Common Dolphin
Hourglass Dolphin
Humpback Dolphin

Humpback Whale
Blue Whale
Gray Whale
Pilot Whale
Right Whale
Fin Whale
Minke Whale
Beaked Whale
Bottlenose Whale
Sei Whale
Bowhead Whale
Beluga Whale

Harbour Porpoise
Speckled Porpoise
Finless Porpoise

Green Sea Turtle
Flatback Sea Turtle
Loggehead Sea Turtle
Hawksbill Sea Turtle
Leatherback Sea Turtle

I am planning on making giant variants and animal person variants to most of the creatures above (including the vanilla DF sharks). Thoughts/ideas/suggestions?

[brolol.404]

Thoughts on sharks having the [PRONE_TO_RAGE:100] and [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE] tags? While sharks arn't mindless killing machines in real life I think having great white sharks beserk killing machines would be kind of cool (and make for a good "shark pit trap"). Plus trying to keep dwarves out of the blood bath ¡fun! ocean is kind of funny lol

[voliol]

The selection of species for the v2.0 seems good to me. I was somewhat confused by the name "common dolphin", but that is not really something you can do anything about. I'm not too sure on the PRONE_TO_RAGE and OPPOSED_TO_LIFE tokens. Wouldn't sharks being large predators try to attack your dwarves/captive goblins either way?

I have a question about the mod in general as well. I just generated a world with this mod, and got the error message "[species_plural_name]: Null Pop Num" for a lot of the fishes. Is this the consequence of intentional work-around, or is it a bug?

The selection of species for the v2.0 seems good to me. I was somewhat confused by the name "common dolphin", but that is not really something you can do anything about.

I was also unsure about adding a "common dolphin" but that is the name of an actual species. I can remove it though if it sounds too odd. Do you think I should take it out?

I'm not too sure on the PRONE_TO_RAGE and OPPOSED_TO_LIFE tokens. Wouldn't sharks being large predators try to attack your dwarves/captive goblins either way?

I could be wrong, but from my experience large predators don't always seem to attack smaller creatures. They seem to do it occasionally when the get really close and "are in the mood" lol

Beserk and opposed to life creatures seem to beeline to any living creature in their line of sight to kill it (could be odd to see a shark attacking a blue whale though)

I have a question about the mod in general as well. I just generated a world with this mod, and got the error message "[species_plural_name]: Null Pop Num" for a lot of the fishes. Is this the consequence of intentional work-around, or is it a bug?

I am not sure to be honest. I think (and I could be wrong) that the error Null Pop Num is saying that there are way too many fish being populated (thousands of fish per tile) and so after so many were populated, the game stopped populating more. This is just a guess though. It doesn't seem to affect anything and the mod seems to run fine as intended. If anyone has a better answer I'd be happy to fix it though.

EDIT: the other possibility for that error is that some of the rarer fish have a pop of 0:X per tile (so some are getting a 0 and therefore a "null pop" in game). This is just another guess though.

EDIT2: I wonder if OPPOSED_TO_LIFE and AT_PEACE_WITH_WILDLIFE can be used together to make sharks not hostile to other ocean animals and only dwarves, etc that fall in the water

I'd be fine with prone to rage but not opposed to life.  That should still get you sharks that go into a frenzy once the blood starts actually flowing without going full Jaws Mode

Maybe save opposed to life for a megabeast/otherwise giant 'monster movie' version?

[brolol.404]

I like that idea of just using prone to rage. This is the current list of sharks:

Thoughts?

I wouldn't give sharks OPPOSED_TO_LIFE, since I think they'd ignore undead and you'd have problems with sharks dying long before they met any dwarves simply because they picked enough fights with every other animal in the water.

Yeah. Good points. I'm not going to add opposed to life and just use prone to rage.

These are the tags that I am going to add to all of the sharks (with unique values):

This is the Great White Shark tags.

Alright, I gotta give this a go. Normally I despise aquatic life in DF because it just feels like it's one of those things you'll never interact with barring forts specifically geared towards dealing with sea life, and a food/material preference you'll almost never be able to fulfill.
