I just updated my pens to water walls. Let's see if that helps. Luckily each sheep pen had 2 sheep left, I just had to reacquire the dyes.
I agree with Buttros. I said at the top of this thread that I thought the fish in /shop were too cheap. A few days of selling fish from my shop for more than they cost in /shop is surely an indication that this is true. While the additional income is always welcome, it does feel broken when almost everything else in the empire shop is articificially expensive (presumably to encourage player-driven markets). This thread was started with a request for fish in the shop together with the comment "I would be willing to pay the exorbitant shop fees!". Bones (for taming dogs) are 25r in the shop, and all meat (for breeding them) ranges from 20-35r. Apart from raw fish. Raw fish is 10r. It just doesn't make any sense to me. It seems that fishing has been removed as an element of the economy because some people don't like it, or find it buggy. That doesn't seem right.
Exactly right, and when you have a spider spawner or two (or more) you'll have so much string that you'll turn it into wool just because it's easier to haul/dump/store it.
