    Dunno if anyone mentioned this earlier, or if this is intended, in either case sorry. But so i was on a level 6 planet, and came upon a pond of poison, the green water, when i suddenly heard damage sounds. When i looked at the pond, there were two fish swimming inside of the poison that then died after a few seconds. Wasn't able to get a screenshot in time unfortunately.

    They do spawn in Poison, but this has actually been a feature for quite a while.
    I think it's because fish spawn in water, and poison is probably just considered water with status effects (in the files).

    so it's really not a bug. I think that this can be locked now, or do you wish a small discussion?

    They also spawn in lava!

    How is it not a bug? I can see how it's a logical consequence of how spawning and liquids work, but it doesn't make sense. Either they are special fish and shouldn't take damage, or they are normal fish and shouldn't be in poison or lava.

    Well, it isn't actually a bug that needs to be said over and over.
    I am pretty sure that they have already seen this in about, oh, 10+ threads talking about this.

    It's most definitely a bug. I highly doubt that fish spawning in hazardous fluids and dying right afterwards is an intended feature.

    That said, it's a bug resulting from an incomplete feature (as this is an alpha build), and it's not a very important one to acknowledge yet. Rest assured, everyone has noticed the fish, including the devs. It will be corrected eventually, whether that's by preventing fish from spawning in certain fluids or by making variants of fish that can survive in different environments.

    Alrighty, so it's acknowledged, not that big of a deal since it doesn't really affect players (at most just makes Ya feel bad for the poor harmless fishies), and will be gotten to at some point in the future. So i guess this topic's done now?
