Jack Bower Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Let me keep a pet fish in a tank, I would also like the option to swap it out for a pet lobster / rat / still living zombie head.I promise I'll feed it and clean my tank. bumblemore, Dreadstone, mieksta and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptKaspar Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I would love to have a koi pond. I would then like to transfer fish that I caught in a bucket of water to my koi pond. This would allow me to keep fresh fish inside my compound. Sure not all fish would live for long in a koi pond, but they'll stay alive longer than without it! project_zomboid_lover and Demonic_Kat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be like a way to maybe breed fish far away from lakes, which is what I really want right now, as I am based in the center of Muldraugh, and don't want to have to travel super far to get fish. project_zomboid_lover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadstone Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 It would be calming when you're panicked, allieviate boredom.... if zombies walked through your pond maybe the water could get polluted and kill all the fish ... you could feed your fish worms, maybe even right-click on them and give them names ... this could be a great mini-game for people that have built the perfect base and have little to do except wait to die of ennui .. project_zomboid_lover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King jjwpenguin Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I am for it. It could also be a way to get water or help plants grow nearby it like cattails. Cattails are actually edible too so it would be an extra help. It would need to be cleaned so it wouldn't attract bugs like mosquitoes if they ever get implemented. provided food and water (After purifying it) but would take time, work, and could cause disease or illness.

Jack Bower Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Bump for lobster tank, we need this! Add this because it doesn't walk anywhere and it will add a lot of content for players while they worry about their stupid fish dying from not having food.

JM_Forest_64 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If Tom Hanks can find a reason to keep living by bonding with a bloody volleyball, then I think a survivor could find purpose with keeping a pet fish. In desperate times, you could eat the fish, but then you would immediately sink to the lowest levels of depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houski Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Has anyone ever heard of Aquaculture? It's an advanced form of agriculture where you create a bit of an ecosystem in which plants feed off the waste in the water generated by the fish. The nitrogen and ammonia, I believe. It would be pretty cool if you could take a small pond and create an aquaculture habitat for some of your plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svarog Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 wouldn't it die then since decapitation kills zombies?Destroying the brain kill zombies, decapitation just makes the body dead(er), as long as the brain is intact, the head itself would still be 'alive' until somebody started playing baseball with it. bumblemore and CaptKaspar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realmkeeper Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 wouldn't it die then since decapitation kills zombies?Destroying the brain kill zombies, decapitation just makes the body dead(er), as long as the brain is intact, the head itself would still be 'alive' until somebody started playing baseball with it. I'm going to suggest that this is not the case in traditional Romero/Brooks lore (as used by TIS).Certainly in 'dirty' lore, such as that of The Walking Dead, a decapitation itself does not kill a zombie, and without researching it further, I would assume it is primarily the destruction of the frontal lobe which 'puts down' a Walker (based on they type of attacks considered effective in the TV series). Traditional lore dictated that the brain stem could also be damaged or destroyed to be certain the zombie wasn't getting back up again (as opposed to the frontal lobe). This was usually achieved by a downward angle pierce through the eye socket, or an upward stab from the base of the skull or below the chin.More specifically, modern research in fatal gunshots and penetrations to the head have shown that anything penetrating the spinal column above the third thoracic vertebrae will result in instant death (and many have speculated this would convert to the destruction of a zombie). That's well below the 'end' of the brain stem, which is up around the third or fourth cervical vertebrae. That't quite a long way down from the head that penetration of the spinal column can be instantly fatal, I'd say with reasonable certainty that decapitation would indeed lay a zombie to rest. The third thoracic vertebrae is approximately in line with the bottom of a collarbone - 4 to 6 vertebrae lower that what would be considered a clean decapitation! That's my over-simplified technical opinion on why decapitation would be one of several injuries fatal to a Romero/Brooks zombie, anyway. bumblemore and JM_Forest_64 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day of the dead (1985) shows that Romero lore lets a zombie carry on being undead after being decapitated. (And even having it's skull removed, as long as the brain is still intact.)

b133d_4_u Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 How did a thread about fish tanks turn into debating whether or not a zombie dies when decapitated? For the record, though, according to Brooks lore(I don't know Romero lore) you must destroy the white matter of the brain in order to "kill" a zombie. Anything else will be ineffective from a killing standpoint. bumblemore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Bower Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 It would add so much to RP, I might be a crazy raider but I need friends too. I'll collect all kinds of different fish and feed them their odd dietary needs and I will break into peoples bases and steal their pet fish.
