Amazon fishery?

Ah! It's got to be something to do with that because tonight I noticed my follower and the settlers (including the one assigned to the fishery) going in and doing other things like egg butchering and sitting in the chair during their "free time." I didn't see any boat sitting or coffee drinking still... I do notice that the place where the settler stands to drink coffee on level 3 has a crab trap or something in that spot on level 4, could it be blocked?

I figure the butcher animation is really meant to be a workshop idle but right now it's only being used by my settlers as "relaxation." Buncha weirdos.
 
ah if the crab trap is there I would have moved the coffee drinking marker,but I will make sure :)

yeah weirdos lol in a way I like having other settlers lending a hand on a plot ,when one or more serfs and working it just seems more natural:)

the Boat sitting is right on the point hehe so maybe to uncomfortable for most lol, ive seen settlers and followers there ,maybe I just got lucky :)


The idle that I don't like to use anymore is the hammer one ,ugh no matter wat the other ones I use they always seem to use that so no more hammers :)

Anyone who has hung around the workshop in Sanctuary should be right sick of hammering anyhow. Sure Sturges, bang on that vent for the 453rd time.

Sturges: I hammer things. I tinker. I can fix just about anything. Except I can't hack a novice terminal or pick a novice lock.
 
I can also confirm that my settlers are using the fisheries properly now
 
ok cool :) thanks for letting me know :)
 
So, just to circle back on this one real quick... I haven’t even tried this one yet but what is the theory on how to place this? If you’re putting down some floor that you are going to remove after, you want that floor right at the water line? And/or if you just Place Anywhere same thing? For your settler to get to it you just need a dock sort of thing right up against?

Or place it so that the arrow front of the plot is touching the shore. That works well with somewhere like Sanctuary where the water is quite shallow and keeps navigation for the settler simple.
 
As AmazonQueen says that wud be the best way :) I actually tested it in sanctuary and failed to test it in other places .
But AmazonsQueens method should work in most places.

can be a pain to place and can take a bit of effort , wait till I release my new addon mostly water plots and that's gonna be fun to place ;)
 
I've never had a settler actually use the "gangplank" on the fishery plot to get in and out, they mostly just try to get up from a corner. So be aware of that.
 
yeah they try and use the base due to navigation (red bit) the gangplank sticks out a fair bit from that so they don't like it very much:(
