Simple Fishing
Now you can fish Grand Fish! And Thinfish. And you can dry them on racks to make Dried Fish!
You need to research Simple Fishing (under Farming or get a blueprint), and you need to buy a Fishing Rod (to catch Grand Fish) or a Fishing Net (to catch Thinfish). You can get them where you buy travelling gear and from some fish stores. These items are used as building materials, just like the Sleeping Bag for building a Camp Bed.
All the fishing equipment can be built under the Camping menu and is grouped together as Simple Fishing (use arrows to find the stuff you want to build).
The two different drying racks and the pile of fish require no building materials (I consider them made up from whatever is found laying around).
As with other fishing mods, I can not restrict you from placing a fishing net in the middle of the desert. Same goes with the rod. It is up to you if you want to cheat or not.
Roleplaying tip: Thinfish is supposed to be fished in The Swamp, so only use the net in The Swamp and the connecting South Wetlands. Grand Fish I think you can find everywhere. Think of it as salmon: Both in the sea and in rivers. (In the base game it says that Dried Fish is just salted and dried Thinfish, but in my mod you can make Dried Fish from Grand Fish as well. Consider this insider knowledge between us fishermen 🙂
KNOWN ISSUES:
The building placement is a bit wonky, make sure to use the – key to make sure they are placed on the ground and not floating in the air.
DISCLAIMER:
I have tested this mod enough to release it, but please report any issues you might come across and I will try to get it fixed in an update.
FUTURE PLANS:
– I might make the rods and nets craftable in the future.
– I might add a Fish Farm that is a bit more effective and works more or less like other farming.
BACKGROUND AND INSPIRATION:
I always wanted fishing to be a part of the game. And I was so happy when I found the mod Crow’s World Gone Fishing and I have used this ever since. You can find his mod here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1223140204
However. The only thing I did not like that much with that mod, was the introduction of other fish and food items. I wanted a more vanilla feel to my fishing and I wanted fishing to use the original fish assets in the game (Grand Fish, Thinfish and Dried Fish), so I made this mod as an alternative. All the fish in this mod are the same as vanilla and can be stored and eaten in the same way as in the base game.
