This mod is a companion to Walk Of Life's Aquarist profession, but can be used without it. It makes Fish Ponds actually viable as income source and significantly more interesting as a mechanic and playstyle.

1. Persistent quality:
   • Fish Ponds preserve the quality of fish placed inside it.
   • New fishlings also inherit their quality from a randomly chosen parent.
   • Fishing from a pond always removes the lowest-quality fish first.
2. Expanded item production:
   • Rather than choose only one of the possible items from the fish's loot table, Fish Ponds attempt to produce all possible items.
   • A pond may thus produce multiple items per day.
   • Produced items are not replaced each morning, and instead are stored safely and indefinitely within the chum bucket's inventory.
3. Scaling roe production:
   • Roe is handled separately from other items. Roe entries in FishPondData are ignored, and instead each fish species is given a roe production chance proportional to the inverse of its value; i.e., the higher the value of the fish, the lower its chance to produce roe or ink.
   • Roe production chance is checked daily for each fish in the pond; i.e., roe and ink production scales with the population size of the pond.
   • Common fish will tend to produce a lot of low-value roe, and rarer fish will produce less but more valuable roe/ink. This setup promotes variability
   • Sturgeons have special conditions to produce bonus roe.
   • Squids instead produce ink, and Coral instead produce algae or seaweed.
4. Spontaneously growing algae:
   • After 3 days empty, a ponds will spontaneously begin to grow algae or seaweed at random. A new algae/seaweed will then spawn every 2 days after that.
   • A random amount of algae/seaweed (also depending on population) will be added to the chum bucket daily.
   • Note that seaweed, green algae and white algae will all grow simultaneously in the same pond.
   • Algae/seaweed ponds have population gates and quests, but their population can only increase naturally; i.e. you cannot manually place more algae/seaweed in the pond.
5. Radioactive enrichment:
   • Ponds containing Radioactive or Mutant fish species are able to enrich any ores dropped inside, turning them into radioactive ore after a few days.
   • Enrichment time is longer for cheaper ore, and is also reduced the higher the pond's population.

• Compatible with Content Patcher mods which apply visual changes to Fish Ponds or which edit Fish Pond Data.
