I've created a fish race, but it's proving difficult to play as them. The swimmable token allows them to exist in the ocean, but not their structures. I can settle in large pools in a swamp, but the admin center itself has to be on land. My goal is to have their settlements be in the ocean. If I can use it in the boat update I can prey on travellers.
But really I was just wondering: is there a better way to make ocean structures than giving them the swimmable construction req. ?
but the admin center itself has to be on land
I took a glance at the code, and it doesn't seem like that should be the case. Does the settler unit have can_swim set to true, and the admin center have the right placement restrictions?
<construction seasons="0.2">
<placement_restriction type="not_walkable"/>
<placement_restriction type="swimmable"/>
<placement_restriction type="no_structure"/>
</construction>
These restrictions should result in a structure that can only be placed on deep water.
I tried it out myself, and there is a slight problem. I'll have it fixed in 2.2, which should be out tonight. There will unfortunately need to be some upgrade work to get 2.1 mods to work in 2.2 (the format of the data files changed a little), but there will be an upgrade log attached to the devlog.
