Ponds

[jordancoles]

Idc if I can't highlight an idea and make a pond of shallow water in weird shapes and sizes. If the simpler solution is a buildable area with set dimensions then so be it, but I would like to see player-made pools of water

Small, medium and large ponds of shallow water (large ponds may have deep water with shallow edges but I'm assuming shallow water would be easier to do)

Allow me to drop fish into the pond by right clicking them into the water and let me feed them with seeds to raise their quality
Allow me to fish them out when I feel like it

Ponds.

Yeah, I'd love to be able to create small ponds we can fill with fish, said fish need to be able to breed though to make it really worth while, which would mean sexing them, and yeah, increase quality with feeding.

There needs to be rules though in regard to having them too close together or else people will just effectively moat their villages, whilst horses and players can traverse shallow water, rams won't be able to.

Not that I'm against moats per se, but if we had them there would have to be a legitimate crossing point for rams.

Oh, I've just realised that if we had ponds of breeding fish it would make river fishing obsolete ..... less reasons for people to leave their walls is not a good thing imo, maybe not breeding fish then afterall. Lol. But still, ponds would be nice.

Well, I assume it would follow the current rule that walls can't be within 3 tiles of water

You could try finding a small lake near home to wall in, they spawn near mountains it seems.

The naturally occurring lakes aren't really in ideal locations and they require hours of leveling to wall off

I already own a small area like this, but I'd never want to build a base around it

Aka:

Let me bot fishing in safety.

Or let me increase the quality of fish on my own and breed only the fish type that I want

[Teleskop]

racist

Why not a pond working like chicken coop but for fishes

Aka it's too much work to bot here. Let me bot fish with minimal effort in my base.

why do u have to be so rude robben. i think anyone can post an idea he has no matter wich faction he belongs no need to be like this boy..
Edit: Just try to be a bit nicer. These Threads are not for bitching around.
Edit2: Btw i like the idea. Village would also look beautiful with some ponds in it.
