Yeah, I know. The next revision of the map generator really should have a sea. Apart from marine life, it would be great to be able to produce salt as well. When we implement food decay, salting meat would be such an obvious method of conservation. I also really regret not preserving a formal difference between lakes and rivers (right now, I can't really tell them apart programmatically).

Can you retrieve the seeds used to generate the current maps? You could regenerate the existing maps, adding one variable to determine if a tile is river/lake/neither. No extra rand() calls required, so you should get the same maps. Then you can rip out the water type data and merge it with the existing map.

Anyway, you could implement salt mines if you want to try out salting before you're ready for the next map reset. It'd give us a place to send our newbs too ;)

I was hoping I could use some intestines and catch a shark, but no such luck.

We need some kind of hook made of 10 wood logs and 4 boulders to catch blue whales.

I was checking the wikipedia pages on all the fish, and the Bream is a type of carp.

I've just caught some Eels in the evening (in the middle between midday and sunset) at a river
with a bone hook and a wood fish as lure. Don't know the moon phase atm.

They take up 2 spaces vertically when caught and produces 2 filets when butchered.
They give agility FEPs.
