How to get more fish?

[dragonsphotoworks]

Had the aquafarm mod but only thing it added was a aqua farm building that harvests fish "it doesnt work" and a fish pipe that connects to... items not in game :-/

Are there any mods to add fish farming that work?

How many fish do you need? You can simply plop a roboport next to a body of water, and deconstruct the fish to have robots fish for you...

I wanted to keep building them :-) Fill an ocean with them.

As for roboports... Only a couple fish in an area. So wouldnt be worth constructing it. Atm ocean near me has around 3-5 fish :-(

Ahh, I see. If you only needed them for healing, it would generate "enough". Not sure of any other fish farm mods.

IIRC, the Nanobots mod has a control building that you can add to a logistic network, with an option to automatically mark any fish in that logistic area for harvesting. You can also set a limit, so it doesn't eventually fill all your chests with fish. Just cover the oceans with as many roboports as you can and wait...

(A word of warning: the Nanobots mod was great, but I had major memory leaks with it, which kept growing exponentialy as game went on. After 50+ hours, Factorio memory usage would be 4+GB, and saving would spike that to 12+GB (triggering Windows almost-out-of-memory warnings) and take several minutes, with no noticable filesize increase. All this disappeared when I disabled the Nanobots mod. It could be some compatibility problem, so it's still worth a try. Disabling, saving, and re-enabling might also help.)

I had massive lag when i ran youki, angel, bob and some of 5dim mods. Had to get rid of all boat or plane mods. And creative mode mod also.

Dont really wanna try logistic ones as i had get rid of some also. I have found a mod that makes the fish regen. Ill just ave to manually fish when there is enough at a time i guess. Oh well thanks anyway :-)

P.S do not use 5dim, youki, bob and angel full sets same time. Turns makeing sime belts into a 5 mile square factory to get ONE a min lol "exaggertating but it was insane how many steps and resources it added per item"

The Aquarium mod by Folk works fine in 0.15 ~ I have used it to re-populate some lakes near my factory. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/folk/folk-aquarium

You can place a inserter and a chest at your coast for automating fishing.

Really? Sounds like factorios generally we thought of everything approach where pretty much everything can interact on one or another lvl.

Once i tried decontruction planner on fish. Didnt work. Was going to suggest this on forum. Thought that was too much trolllevel.

But before i was able to do that, i read the incoming patch notes, that its possible use the deconstruction planner on fish now.

I have the aquarium mod. All i have is a building that collects fish. Nothing to make fish. But the respawn trees and fish mod sems to be working.

That is a different mod ~ Folks Aquarium does not collect fish. It multiplies them in barrels & outputs into lakes. You are probably using the Aqua Farm mod or similar.
Check the info in the link I posted earlier.
