[2021] echo burning: fish shoals

Hello @hundread1800 thank you for your question.

A fish shoal you use will indeed no longer replenish in that particular spot, if you have fully depleted that resource.

The fish shoals that you find that seem to deplete quicker than others, how is your water quality in that area, do you have any kind of pollution from ruins that might effect the surrounding water and quality of resources?

Thanks for coming back to us @hundread1800 and for sharing your suggestions for some kind of warning message about the depletion of resources.

Another player had a similar issue with fish and fisheries, where they had seemingly disappeared for them on the map. Would you be able to check if you have the game option Production Chain Highlights enabled, if not could you please enable this option, as it may be hiding some of these fish from view!

Hello again @hundreAd1800 I have reached out to our Anno team for further info on shoals, their depletion rate and regeneration rate, for further clarification, as the details I have found on this subject are a little scare. When the team have replied to our query, we will do our best to update you on this mechanic!

As for the feedback on the information provided (or lack thereof) by the fishery, I have passed this onto the team too to consider, thank you for that suggestion.

Just another update from me, the Anno team got back to us on the topic of fish shoals - they confirmed you can indeed use up all of this resource and deplete it permanently, completely.

if you wish to stop farming/fishing the resource and let it replenish instead, the replenishment rate is due to factors such as pollution and your eco balance.

Thanks for the screenshots, @hundread1800, that's really helpful! Just to confirm I understand, are the other two shoals in the second screenshot able to replenish as well, or is it just the one you highlighted?

Hey @hundread1800,

Thank you for clarifying between the screenshots.

This has now been forwarded to the team so we can get the most accurate answer for you.

In the mean time if there is anything else we can help with just let us know as we are happy to help.
