hm how do i explainis?? there is a mod to catch trout.there are map mods to catch salmon. you can have different fisher mods in the same map 1 catches "trout",the vanilla catches "fish".the game will not read "trout" as a fish. so the processing buildings use fish but not trout. say u salt fish or dry fish. the building will use up all the fish and never use any trout.
not to send a worker to fish and have a random catch of different types of fish,i do not belive it is possable. you catch "fish" aND then have a sorter to separate trout,bass,etc but now you have an entirely different production chain. and then the mod would have to be set to be above <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> in the mod order to overide <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> from setting "fish"as fish are used now.
this is some of the problem that has stopped us from having a fur trapper. do we set it to catch "game" and then separate the animals into furs? how do we catch randomly fox,rabbits,squirrels,etc
i will come back to that point in a minute.
my idea based on this discussion would be to make different fishermen mod like the trout fly-fisherman, say a pond bass fisherman, a salmon fisher, a set of different boats to catch fish. change the normal fishing docks to actually b more specific and how they look. then add a fish sorter or cleaner mod that takes the various fishes and scales and cleans the trout,bass,salmon,etc thereby processing them all into "fish" that the game recognizes. its kinda the reverse of what the garden seed mod does. it made a new seed "garden seeds" . they grow and when sorted you have randomly pumpkins,squash,potatoes,etc. gives the banis a variety of veggys with having less seeds from the traders.
i will correct myself on 1 point. thou my explanation above made sence it has a flaw. the hunter was changed so instead of just deer he hunts ducks. the problem was the ducks become overpowering. you catch more ducks than deer and you need the leather more than feathers. i use the fix-mod so i dont hunt ducks. so mayb there is a way to do it random. however i stand by my idea. build a salmon fisher,some boat fishing, a nice bass pond,etc. and then process them to fish. think this keeps us from confusing the game's "fish"code. it would confuse the buildings in the game already.
