Deep Water Fishing

Description
This is my first mod. I made it out of desperation. Please be nice.

In Rimworld: Odyssey, shallow water can freeze over, stopping your starving colonists from fishing at fishing zones. Inexplicably, their pathetic colonist brains are too puny to entertain the idea of standing at the edge of the frozen shallow water and fishing in deep water. This mod allows you to zone deep water as fishing zones, allowing your colonists to fish even in the coldest of temperatures. For obvious reasons, your colonists will not be able to fish at a fishing zone if it is surrounded by deep water, so make sure to zone next to walkable terrain. I have not tested for compatibility, but as long as the mod doesn't mess specifically with zoning fishing zones it should be fine.

Known issue: The "expand zone" button when selecting a fishing zone does not allow you to expand a fishing zone into deep water. You can still expand a fishing zone by using the regular zone tools.

I did some testing on Dev mode (All DLC no mods) and crashlanded pawns on an ice sheet. I then evented 10 cold snaps dropping the temperature down to -200c and waited. Eventually the pawns all froze to death (even with the bluefur winter gear I gave them XD) but the shallows never froze over - neither in the pockets inland, nor the coastal water.

Where/what zone does this mod apply? Incidentally, if a tile's waters do freeze over, could one not just build a little hovel, raise the temperate inside and fish where it thaws out?

This always bothered me ever since 1.6 hit. Deep water fishing is like, a huge thing IRL. It made absolutely no sense that you could only fish in waist-deep water. So thank you.

OR you can place down a bunch of heavy bridges heat the new floorless room to 21C or greater and fish away in little ice fishing huts.

But good on you making a mod for something vexing

Is this EPOE compatible? Can I give an octopus 8 advanced bionic arms?
Great mod that really should be base game, makes me want to do an eskimo tribal run.

@Ymir True. I actually secretly gave all the fish armor values and custom weapons so this mod is not CE compatible. /s

@Devonte, Yes but its important to know. - What if the fish come out of the water with Glock 17s? - Then I would really need to know if its CE Compatible, or else my game could crash.

@noderp47 How long will it take then? Weeks? Or months?

Is this CE Compatible?

@Azure this is possible in my experience if you just wait long enough, fish will spawn
