Possible bug with fishing pools?

[CanadianMoose]

Hello,

Saw another discussion with a similar issue that wasn't resolved, so posting here.

I was playing a prestige 5 - platinum seal game. Got the mole dangerous glade event popping next to my city centre, so I tried paying with algae. Had multiple workers assigned to the pool, they would go there, fish, the icon would load, but then they would come back empty handed, with no change to the number of available algae in the warehouse (0).

I checked everywhere (warehouse, any building that could possible use algae), nothing. After restarting the game three times, things got back to normal but it was too late and I lost.

After restarting a new cycle, I am now having the same problem, except this time it's the fish that does not appear. No buildings are currently using fish, I disabled consumption of fish in the consumption panel, and there is still no fish showing up in storage. I can also see the fishermen coming up empty handed.

Is this a bug? Has anyone dealt with this?

The pool must be completely exhausted before you can get the algae and fish yield.

Worth mentioning you can tell them to deliver early, but doing so completely exhausts the pond no matter how many uses it would otherwise have.

You were both right, thank you!

I noticed this just yesterday, trying to get algae to make some initial fabric. Is this by design or a bug?

how could this be a bug if there's a section in the fishing pond UI dedicated to Nets and a big button that says "Retrieve Nets"? and a tooltip to explain the system, too? and an entry in the encyclopedia

Thanks for your kind help, friend!
