[0.31.01] No Fish. Anywhere.
« on: April 02, 2010, 12:23:32 pm »
I tried looking all over and aside from people mentioning "No fish, lol" I haven't seen anything solid about this... but...

Everywhere I embark, every world I create,  every stream, brook, river, and lake...  Has no fish.

Add to that the fact that there are maybe 1-2 animals running around,  food becomes reliant pretty quick on crops.  Crops I need for booze.   Anyone else's rivers run lifeless?

This is partly correct, partly incorrect. In my map world atm I have 3 major fishing areas:

surface pool - plenty of fish visible - plenty of fish catchable - very few "no fish to catch in <area>" warnings

surface brook - plenty of fish visible - plenty of fish catchable - very few "no fish to catch in <area>" warnings

underground cavern pool - a few fish visible - none catchable - constant "no fish to catch in <area>" warnings


Now, this seems a bit odd since I can see various vermin fish in the UG pools, but on the surface I am doing fine. I have about 100 fish in stocks atm, and I can still catch them.

This guy gets it, the problem with the child torture dungeon is that they weren't set on fire first.

Strange.   I get constant (No fish) warnings... plus if I actually go down and watch the water... Nothing.   Just constant water flow.   I had my brother watch the screen while I was out, and he didn't see a single thing either.    Could some sort of setting be effecting this?  The only fish I've even seen since starting play has been on the embark screen.

EDIT:  Could it be something dealing with me turning temperature and weather off for performance issues??

I have also had 0 fish caught on my map. The map does freeze in the spring and winter, though, perhaps this fish just aren't spawning from previously frozen areas?

I occasionally get the 'no fish available' message, but I do see ponds that claim to be fishable. Never see any fish in them, though, and my fisherdwarf has never caught a fish in the entire span of this fort (a little over a year) despite going out and fishing pretty often.

My oceans are completely lifeless as well, along with very spare local wildlife in groups of one.

My brook has nothing to catch in it, and never has.

This may be related to the deadly water problem people have been running into.  What is the temperature of your water?

Anything that happens in your land is your fault.  If the merchants decided to show up next to a volcano and jump in, it would still (somehow) be your fault.  If their liaison dies of old age on your doorstep, it's your fault.  If you accidentally lock the elves in the depot and wait until they're insane to capture them in cages and then lock the next group of elves in the depot and unleash the insane elves their cages, that's still somehow your fault.

Not sure, but if your dwarves start melting or slugmen explode whenever it rains, then it's a good indication it's too hot.

I don't think it's temperature related...  After countless attempts I finally got some turtles... but thats it.

My brook is lifeless, too. Though as I embarked in a desert/rocky wasteland I'm not that surprised.

Ponds aren't turning up any fish. Don't have a brook, so I don't know about that...

Temperate brook through a forest produces turtles just fine. Temp on, weather on. Rain isn't causing casualties either.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

The river through my temperate forest has/had a sea lamprey and a sturgeon in it, but I haven't done any fishing.

I think I can say it's official that our fish are going somewhere.   I blame Dagon.
