do we want more heights where fish spawn? #386

Closed SwissalpS closed 2 months ago

SwissalpS commented 3 months ago

Proof of concept PR for testing: https://github.com/pandorabox-io/pandorabox_custom/pull/73

Questions arose about why there are no fish spawning in Mars or even in mountain lakes.

Do we want to add heights at all?
If so, which? (Up to warzone or even up to current world limit? Or only up to start of vacuum?)
Change spawnrate or keep synced with defaults from [mobs_fish]

When [mobs_water] was first added, I remember none of the animals had height limits. That was a bit weird having crocodiles and sharks spawn in my floating mars gardens. I'm OK with fish flopping around on the ground under those gardens though.

Maybe we should leave out a portion (e.g. asteroid belt) so that players do have some location where they can build a base without fish in gardens?

I would go for y < 1000 On Pandorabox that would mean no fish in vacuum and above (and in general would include most areas generated by most default map generators).

SwissalpS commented 2 months ago

There is no water in vacuum, so there wouldn't be any danger of them spawning in non terraformed areas.

I've now changed to compromise because I think Mars should have more peaceful mobs. Now asteroid and moon areas are excluded.
