Fishing is required. If they ever took out foraging completely, they would have to affect Bio-engineer and Chef schematics. Possibly others, but I doubt it.







I disagree. Fishing is required. Foraging is not in order to fish.

Here is a deep explanation.



Before a single person fished in this game, they had to obtain fish bait. Be it grubs, worms, or insects. They had to forage it.


Then they had to obtain a fishing pole.


Then after using up bait through trail and error, they caught a fish, and after they selected the "filet" option from it's radial menu they discovered that an amount of Chum Bait would be returned as well as fish meat.


If someone fails too many times, there will be a steady decrease in the amount of fishing bait available. People will just end up using all of their 30K resource deeds for Fish meat and sell it for 100+ cpu because it is no longer obtainable.

Buy the bait. Buy a frigging fish! There's 40 bazillion of them on the bazaar. Some enterprising scout will figure out there is a good market for this stuff and stock it. Some dev will figure that a mini-mission with a bait reward for the terminally forgetful is a good idea. Some other dev will say "Ok, let's make corn usable as bait but it will suck worse than chum.

Forage != fishing != forage

I support keeping /forage in Scout ( including the "Giant Wedding-Cake of Invisibility" ).






... but why waste time removing one ability and then add another one to make up for the one you removed... when there is no bloody reason to remove it in the first place.

/forage is a Scout-skill. What? Scouts are overpowered if they get to keep it? *confused*
