Fish: what's useful with that ?

[MatLaPatate]

What are the fish used for ? ^^ Maybe I don't know because I've just played the demo ?

[kovarex]

The fish was created by the developer who came to Factorio, he just wanted to learn by adding something simple, the non fitting picture of fish was a joke, but we never removed it, and now it just feels like part of the game, the fish will probably stay, the picture will change.

The current use of fish is not documented anywhere, we were wondering, if you guys find it out

As you may know, shift-click is quite common shortcut to use, when you shift-click, the item goes to the correct slot, armor goes to armor slot, fuel goes to furnace fuel slot, ammo goes to ammo slot etc.
Try this wish with the fish when you are injured.

I thought they would be food to heal faster but you heal pretty fast as it is.

This is just a placeholder, until we get to advance the chemics part of the tree

I thought there was no food aspect in this game. I was wrong.

Am i right to assume, that we will not get any recipes having fish as an ingredient before 1.0.0?

Well, sounds like time to delay 1.0 again.

Edit: I just checked and there are 11 possible older necros on the forum from when this was made (most within 24 hours), although I'm guessing that number is increasing by several per day.
