Drynin629 1 Posted July 27, 2019 Hey Devs, you might want to recook the map a bit. At the starting area, there are ZERO fish in the sea. Turtles, check, lots of dead elephants in the water, check...but zero fish to kill at all.....kinda important as a source of vitamin D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UDO 361 Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) one of the islands u cant even sail a boat away from the beach , a huge swathe of area is too shallow had to swim about for ages to find a deep enough area that was at least 200 meters out , great map sotd not attacking or chasing , might not have sailed enough yet no flotsams , no wrecks , Edited July 27, 2019 by UDO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
globytheoldpirate 119 Posted July 27, 2019 Weird, got plenty of fishes with fishing net. Sotd attacked me x) By yeah, didn't find any flotsams nor wrecks for the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomervoncannon 1,541 Posted July 28, 2019 Also finding a complete lack of fish in my starting area. Big long stretch of beach, go for a swim. No fish to be seen anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UDO 361 Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) border of the grid stops well short of what is shown on the map , sotd spawning stuck behind the barriers ,is this because the barrier doesnt extend to map edge and therefore leaves too much space for them to spawn and then being a single grid they have noone where to go , random trees floating above the ocean , still no flotsams ,or wrecks Edited July 28, 2019 by UDO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neitfall 11 Posted July 30, 2019 Any further info on this topic? We've been running a dedi for 3 days now and are living off the few small catfish that spawn in the swamp on Freeport. We've checked the entire Western edge of the island and there are no fish nor mantas in the ocean anywhere. We are not at a point yet where we can get a ship and sail out to other islands to look for fish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomervoncannon 1,541 Posted July 30, 2019 This is a significant issue since until one advances into cooking fish is the only source of vitamin D besides milk, and expecting everyone to tame a cow and take the needed skill to craft a bucket before the deficiency becomes a problem is a bit of a stretch.

INVALID 1,037 Posted July 30, 2019 It's something we are looking into. Blackwood is pretty large, we had to make some technical changes to support the size of the map and this might be the reason we're not seeing as many spawns, not just due to the amount of space available but some tech reasons. If you're running on a non-dedi, you may have to wait a while in certain areas for all the spawners to appear (i.e fresh water sources around land masses). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have had a few catfish spawn in the swamps on Freeport and they are sustaining the 4 of us for now. Nothing at all in the ocean around the island, dedi has been running for 2 days now. Hopefully we'll get a sloop built tonight and can check out the shores around another island and will report back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

globytheoldpirate 119 Posted July 31, 2019 Though, there is lot of fishes, depends on area. Wait before they spawn before "THERE IS NO FISH AT ALL" Same as shark and shipwreak Even is there is definitly a bug as Jat explained There is definitly fishes/shark/manta on the map Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whitehawk 382 Posted July 31, 2019 On the island i'm on at the moment there is no fish at all,I've fished for ages and nothing.Not even the bubbling sound you get when they are near. But there were tuna in a pond at the blackwood freeport, and now the islands are close it's easy to get to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liatni 35 Posted July 31, 2019 Yeah, I hope they find a way to get more fish to spawn, with out an over spawned server load it is a task on starter areas, and since there are many that have no or very few fish.. its rough. I will try fishing net Nope island has many many fish.. and mermaids and sharks and crabs to go along with them fish. lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dread Pirate Jackle 1 Posted June 8, 2020 Has there been any update to this issue? Played on server this weekend and found the sharks floating in the GA area (around the mythical island) along with crabs and mermaids. 100's of them. Trying a wild dino wipe but wasn't sure on official word. Can't find much current on Blackwood. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Beautiful game guys, keep up the good work.

Leshe 0 Posted September 21, 2020 Old thread, I know, but this doesn't seem to have changed. I've hosted a Blackwood serve for about 2 days now, and it's a great map for a dedicated server, but the lack of fish is absolutely my biggest disappointment. It isn't the lack of vitamin F, as such, I know I can go to freshwater lakes for that. It's the lack of risk in the sea. *All* kinds of fish are missing or low spawn. If a heatwave strikes, I can stop the boat and jump into the water with perfect safety. Another player is deep sea diving with really no risk. The game is all about risk, and having a large risk-free space is like a natural exploit. On 7/30/2019 at 2:29 PM, Jat said: It's something we are looking into.

They're just not there, at least at the latitude of the freeport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpaceApe 2 Posted October 12, 2020 I too am having difficulties finding fish on the Blackwood map.... I waited so long to get this game, took days to DL on my slow internet. My god I am disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
