That's the kind of thing that happens sometimes. Nub contributer wants to implement a thing, the idea is made more complex than he can handle. Saltmummy wants to make clam traps. Instead of answering the simple question of "hey, where can I find the code for fish traps so I can ape it to make my clam traps?" he gets told that the code is "on github."
"I am well aware that the code is on github, can anybody tell me where it is, generally? I just want to see it and github is rather incomprehensible to me."
*no response*
Either way, the idea falls apart.
I'd want the clam traps to work like growing plants now anyway. Or have them as preexisting clumps that form in shallow water. Like berry bushes. Doesn't matter though, couldn't find the code for that shit either.
