You keep catching fish? Huh, should've given it more time I guess.

[jorb]

We need a way to "compress" fish hunger and FEP points, just like sausages compress meats.

There's a bunch of fish courses slated and drawn that a certain lazy codegnome is too lazy to put in.

[Potjeh]

Please tell me there will be lutefisk.

[Errol]

Please tell me that there will be Iormungandr.

Small interface suggestion: make it possible to right-click with a fishing pole part on a fully equipped fishing pole to just switch that part. Disassembling and reassembling the whole pole is unnecessary tedium.

QFT.

[Potjeh]

Question: when you say location matters, do you mean specific tile or river vs lake? I've been fishing all day and I haven't noticed any difference between what I catch in lakes and what I catch in rivers. That seems just plain wrong to me. Lakes should be filled with deadly carp.

[loftar]

Rivers, lake shallows, deep waters, &c., should make a difference. I tried to make the system so convoluted so that not even I'd be able to tell what would be caught where, though, so I may have to go over the details again. :)

JnL, on what does it depend to find earthworms? i have a friend who dug out 3 chests of soil and did not get a single worm...

[loftar]

There should be, quite simply, a 1 in 10 chance to get an earthworm while digging in forests. Note that you have to dig in forests, though. Grasslands don't cut it, at least not currently.
