All the fishes?!!!! - Feneris - 12-18-2016 Quote: I agree with that sentiment entirely. And if in the future, fur is finally introduced as a resource, it would be a simple matter to change it. (I actually hate long and complicated production chains. Overwhelming diversity of resources for the win.) All the fishes?!!!! - KevinTheCynic - 12-19-2016 I too believe that there is a place (and maybe even elevate that to a "need" rather than just a "want") for fur in Banished. People in the period of the European colonization of the Americas were just as likely to be wearing clothes made of furs as they were to have clothes made from leather, probably more likely due to the more involved process to make leather. All the fishes?!!!! - QueryEverything - 12-19-2016 I love this topic [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" /> What about a small "Farm" (think the animal pens but the size of the "Creamery" or "Bee Hive/Apiary" we have in game already. Use a drop menu that works like other resource buildings, and choose which animal you want to "Farm" (the list is generated from what animals you have stock of already), and it pops out the selected items. Or have it set to random (alas Apiary) and who knows what resources you end up with. I have no idea how it would be achieved, but the art could be based on a small farm, with stationary beasts.

They farm mink and foxes after all. All the fishes?!!!! - Horser01 - 12-20-2016 Quote: It's not that I wouldn't like to see fur. It's that if I had to choose between having rabbits with no fur or not having them because there IS fur, I'd rather have the animal. My understanding is that they haven't been added because of the headache of adding in the new fur resources, as well as the animated animals. There was an issue with getting feathers with leather and they don't want a repeat, plus all the tweaking to the tailor and stuff. If they gave us the rabbits in a building I'd be happy cause I could pretend. If they added fur later by tweaking the rabbit resources, so much the better! After all, domestic rabbits were originally bred out of wild hares that were captured live and constrained. It wouldn't be out of the time period to have hutches. P.S. - Interesting fact, if you use the modern way of tanning, it takes more work to leave the fur on! Because you have to soak the hide and when you take it out to stretch the hide, the fur 'slips' or falls out, so you have to be really careful. The original way, it took more work to make leather, because they scraped the fur off with knives. Then they simply rubbed the fur with brains, worked it (stretching), and smoked it. All the fishes?!!!! - QueryEverything - 12-27-2016 I have the little "Fly Fisher" mod and it's fabulous. (I have seen others use a lobster one, but I can't find that, so far!) I would love to see a Yabby mod! Here, where we are in Victoria (Australia), people go to the local river (the Yarra River) and catch Yabbies & in the large river (the Murray River) we normally would catch Murray Cod.

Then along came Ducks, producing feathers whether I liked it or not. Fortunately, the tailors learned to make Survival Coats using Feathers and Reeds. At first I hated those - I knew they had to look stupid. But then I learned that the tailors in my town had learned the secret of combining those two ingredients in a way to make soft, luxurious coats that could be mistaken for angora! Now, if I start with feathered birds, I also build a Reed Farm and a Dock Workshop and make Survival Coats. RE FISHING: There already are several types of fishing. The Tidal Pool and Dock Water Scavenger are "shore docks" that gather Oysters, Mussels, Seaweed and Crayfish plus find a Pearl now and then. The Wharf & Ship is the "whaling vessel" that brings back Whale Meat & Blubber plus Seal Meat and Lobster. Would be nice to have a pond that could be built where there's no rivers or lakes close by - maybe catch freshwater fish like trout. The other fishing docks could be differentiated by catching different fish (tuna, mackeral, etc.). However remember that each new type of fish becomes another line item at your town hall and traders. All the fishes?!!!! - stiles - 12-27-2016 you can turn the ducks off. i havent seen high quality survival coats like angora,but they do make a good trade item to use up the chicken feathers for sure.

It operates exactly like the fishing dock (employs same number of workers, provides "fish" resource). Is that the sort of thing you were thinking of or was it something more expansive? All the fishes?!!!! - estherhb - 12-28-2016 I forgot about that. That is a nice pond. I was thinking of something a little smaller with no fence. |
