Revision as of 04:59, 28 March 2016

Fishing is a game mechanic originally introduced in alpha version 0.1.7.0 and then greatly expanded in beta 0.2.0.1.

Fishing basics

To fish, you have to plant your Fishing Rod in place. Once you have done that you need to wait for the rod to bob up and down as if there is something tugging on the line. When this happens, click on the rod again to reel it in. High dexterity score helps in catching fish[1], but characters with the Fisherman feat will never fail to reel their catch in. Version 1.0.0.9 made fishing easier by increasing the chance to reel the fish in, especially for the dexterity-challenged.

You can cast your rod in any body of water. All waters in the release version, including sewage, have something to be fished. In addition to live catch, you can sometimes fish up random items. In the alpha versions, only siphoner pools yielded any catch.
