cavern fishing
« on: September 24, 2010, 11:53:24 pm »
I've got nothing but salt water in the caverns below me, but shouldn't there be fish living in it? Would pumped water become fishable, or do I need to make my own fish farm?

I dunno if it has to be desalinated, but i thought any artificially created pools had turtles in them.

Don't they appear as a zone value? I've seen the cave fish a few times, but whenever I try to establish a zone there, I get 0 for water source, 0 for fishing, and nothing when I send a fisherdwarf down to try. So how do I catch those fish?

If you want to make a fishing zone, you have to make the ground surrounding the water source the zone, not the water source itsself.

You might already know that, i dunno, but it sounds like you're just covering the actual water, which won't let you do anything.
