    Already a thread on this https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/159860/singing-where-have-all-the-swordfish-salmon-cod-gone/p1

    and so far the answer is GGS has changed how the pools spawn, Swordfish and Lobster are very rare and are purposely set this way LOL
  • Spurgiukas (INT1)Spurgiukas (INT1) INT1 Posts: 235
    What if in the future updates they will add changes, like that we will be able to buy pools with gold or something. This game is like this..if you want better results and faster - spend gold :(

    It has been a week, please fix the fishing holes. All I get are tuna/herring and clam/oyster/shrimp. Most of the time the pools are tuna/herring with not much tuna.

    How are we going to get our fish market leveled with no swordfish/salmon/cod. Not to mention the FHW will be impossible this time around.

    @maxiroy (US1) so there is hope LOL

    Actually I just got a lobster pool, so hopefully a swordfish will be coming soon as well :)
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784

    @JVD (US1)

     I got a better deal LOL... 38 swordfish, I was about to post but you beat me to it    :)

    38 is 5% of total fish,  10% salmon and 85% cod.  Totally imbalanced and not sufficient to complete the daily task not to fill a market order of any sort.  And this is the only swordfish/salmon/cod pool I got in a couple days




    In the mean time.... the herring in my inventory keeps increasing and the market contractors don't seem to care about herring at all.  More than 23,000 herring in storage already, even tho I filled a few contracts with herring and/or chum 




    Rational solution: 


    1  -  Re-balance the deep sea pools


    2 -  Re-instate direct fish sales


     

  • maxiroy (US1)maxiroy (US1) US1 Posts: 436
    Yes I definately agree that the sea pools have to be fixed.  And it would be nice to sell overstock even if it is not the same pricing as before.
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    I am very jealous that @maxiroy (US1) and @PCA (GB1) have gotten more swordfish in their pools!!!  

    The pools definitely need to be reworked for sure... and get rid of the daily tasks unless you (GGS) change the pools as it cannot be attained... a worthless goal!! :(

    GGS is the keeper of the Swordfish.  They say no Swordfish, so NO swordfish for you.  Sorry.  It is the same for everyone.

    Not sure if they think we are going to make billions off of them or something with the new contracts with their measly rewards.
  • GrammyK (US1)GrammyK (US1) US1 Posts: 6
    Wondering why daily task is still listing swordfish & salmon ? Set us up to fail constantly and we won't
    keep playing that part of game. Still working on my first order because not enough cod to complete.
    Taught me to continue rejecting orders until I actually have the inventory...I've gotten up to four order
    slots that way....half my coop are sitting waiting to complete their first orders.  I've had one Swordfish pool
    and 2 lobster since the update taking away the right to sell our fish.  You're denying us the fish anyways
    so why can't we sell...sure not going to get rich ...you also control the prices make an adjustment and
    give us back our fishing.

    I'm fine with no swordfish but then i do not want every contract to include swordfish and cod....Really am at a loss and profits at a loss with these contracts......
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    so I guess I have to wait another 4 to 5 days for another swordfish hole...  :'(

    got the one and only, now back to tuna/herring and shellfish!  :s
  • S and A Farms (US1)S and A Farms (US1) US1 Posts: 379
    I have yet to see a swordfish or lobster pool since the update. I have sent out empty boats to clear pools, they respawn with, you guessed it, herring or 1-2 shrimp pools.

    It takes two days or MORE to clear the side bar task for swordfish,  my pool  one and only in the past two days, has 29 swordfish..     

    Seriously...  this is messed up BIG time.     Are they an Endangered Species 
    I too have been waiting for swordfish and salmon. Hard work event is asking for salmon and none to be found.

    Swordfish and lobster are rare???  Swordfish haven't been seen for a long time, figured they might show up after the hardworker event ended but they didn't  But for two days I had nothing but lobster  so they aren't that rare, currently still have 2 lobster, 2 tuna and 2 shellfish     swordfish, salmon and cod appear to be extinct.

    Update:  I now have 4 lobster and 2 tuna  still no swordfish, salmon and cod
    Lobster is definitely not rare on my farm or those of my co op members   just swordfish, salmon and cod  totally extinct
  • tessa17 (US1)tessa17 (US1) US1 Posts: 106
    I don't have them.  But if you have any clams pools to exchange for lobster I am eager to do business.  I have nothing but lobster. Unless my contracts start asking for more lobster I am just going to wait it out.

    Well, what I am singing right now is:

    All I need are calms, pampampampam
    All I need are calms, pampam pam pam
    All I need are calms, calms
    The calms are all I need.

    My situaton (and probably of everybody else):
    - I have a great shortage of shells and shrimps
    - Have low amount of tuna
    - I have enough of the "best fish pool" fishes
    - Have huge amounts of herring and lobster

    So what I do:
    - If possible I send 3 or 4 trawlers to shellfish pools. No equipment. 
     lvl 6 trawlers without crue are enough to empty those pools
    - Next in row is tuna. So I send 3 or 4 trawlers with "catch only tuna" equipment + one or two Roy to
    empty all tuna from those tools
    - All other ships I send empty to other pools, lobster last as that does not cost me anything
    - I made tuna chum most of the times, as I need it the most. I will keep making any kind of
    chum for FXP and seewead anyway.
    - I am keeping one and two item contracts no matter what and rejecting all other.

    Conclusion:
    - Am I loosnig money? No. I am making a tiny profit.
    - Am I going backwards? No, I am making a steady and SLOW progres.
    - When I am going to upgrade fish market to a full potential? Oh, in about 300 years, I guess :). 

    Patience is the mother of all features. 
    And I have to speak to my lawer to include my Big farm in a will :). Hope it is within the GGS rules :).

    Can't see the need to gain FXPs...   I am currently doing the FHWE on the Int1 server at level 22.  Went from a slow last place to 5th in next to no time.   I hope to stay at level 22 for as long as possible.

    When I have a sword fish pool, I fully equip about 2-3 boats (depending on the amount of sword fish) this gives me just over 50 fish of each type - sword, salmon, cod - when those boats come back I do not touch them until it is to complete the daily task, then I collect just 1 of the boats and it completes both the sword and the salmon task.  I do not send a fully equipped boat unless I am able to bring back a full 50+ swordfish.  
    If sword is less than 50 I leave them go or send an empty boat just for extra fish to add to my already high amount of fish held in storage.

    Level 2 Trawler:  5 larger freezers, 2 Roy, 1 Victor = 172 fish ... I also cross my fingers and hope for no disasters
