Ponds

[Shask]

Just a little something that occurred to me - rivers are used as highways in this game, and aren't really safe. People should be able to have convenient access to a small supply of water whilst not having to set up next to a large river. It's also realistic.

I too would like to see smaller bodies of water away from rivers, hopefully it will be included with improved mapgen.

Ponds should have ducks. And these ducks would migrate.

Have frogs spawn near still bodies of water like ponds and swamps

Personal fish farm ... erm, do fish eat seeds ... probably need something else for that part.

- find hidden high q water spot.
- dig, dig, dig, a pond.
- plant ? ... some fish. (fish seeds ?)
- let them grow.
- start fishing.

*looks around for some duck tape to keep it from falling apart*

don't they?

[Jackard]

instead of everywhere, that is

[Potjeh]

Those are toads, and they can be found quite far from water IRL. But I would like to see edible frogs added, and they should definitely only spawn at ponds.

How the water is generated is already insane. It makes for interesting waterways, but it's extremely haphazard. Some lakes and ponds, some of them from springs, would be pretty neat, and plain useful as a water source even if they don't have fish.

Would frog on a stick be like rat on a stick?

i searched the forum and didnt really see this idea. we should have ponds that we dig up like a basement. they would have maybe 3 set sizes. smal medium and large. Note that i am not referring to it as a terra forming tool. it would be under buildings. and would hold fish and have some way of increasing the quality of water in them. but only be able to increase the quality if they are not being used to farm fish. and the water should be set at a certain amount in them. maybe they gain 50L a day and have a max of 1000L. depending on the size of the pond as well.
