Fishing Boats Not Collecting Fish

[Hash Brownz]

Hey there, I have a fishing boat station thing (I forgot what its called) put in an are with fish but they never collect any fish. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Fishing Hut. And the problem is that fishing SUCKS. You're better off waiting until you can build a Swineherd and not bothering with fishing for your Meat requirements.

Alright thanks. Yeah i think the food system needs updating. I had thousands of food stocked up for my 700 peasants and it went to 0 in 10 seconds.

Try building Bakers to help stretch your Wheat production. This is especially useful when you begin raising pigs, who need Wheat to fuel their production.

Thanks for your help man

Does the fishing hut have staff?

[Hash Brownz]

It needs staff to operate

i usually spam fish hut on the coast and build fishmonger at least around 1/4 the amout of fish hut i have, and my peasant health turn green afterward. im unsure which part that was bad but if you want meat for balance diet, just spam them if it produce anything or not (both swineherd and fishing hut). the storage doesnt have to be full of meat like fruit and wheat does. as long as some of the peasant are able to consume meat, their health will stabilise by itself.

In my experience, fishing huts are only beneficial if you place them in areas that are absolutely swarming with fish. My guess is that the boat roaming around the water isn't just for show, and it has to actually encounter the "fish tiles" to catch anything.

I haven't had a hut produce more than 0 or 2 fish per year no matter where I place it. :( right on top of a huge swarm of fish and it's still always 0 or 2 fish (never 1)

You need fish mongers to make it into more fish.

This is it. place your fishing huts where the fish swarm most. use fish mongers and dont be afraid to have tons of fishing huts and still produce a minimal amount of fish. its not the most efficient but im happy my peasants get to eat fresh fish at all. Also make sure to use pork as well. its a good reliable meat source that wont go down in a storm or whatever

I have 2 lakes, both chock full of fish. with 3 fishing huts - 1 with only a few fish available - i can produce about 70 fish per year, with a single fishmonger assisting.

So yeah, you need plenty of fish squares in the operating zone of your fishing hut

another thing to note is to always check the houses. its rare that you will have fish in your storage since is not as plentiful but if its in your houses it means they are eating it!

Perhaps no one is coming to collect the fish. Check the fishing huts. If they are full, they won't collect any more.
