Fishing

Fishing is an easy way to obtain plentiful amounts of food with low to no effort. Currently there are two ways to fish. Fishing can be done via the Fishing Rod or Fish Traps. Fishing must be done in a source of water, and you cannot move, battle, or mine while fishing. Currently, the player cannot cancel a cast. The only way to exit is if the player obtains a fish or does not get a bite over a time of 5 - 10 seconds. However the player may access the inventory, shop, or mojo menus while fishing.

Fishing obtains the player 1 Raw fish which has to be cooked via Campfire before being able to eat it without taking damage. If the player eats too many raw fish, they will die by food poisoning. You can also get 1 Hide Pants while fishing.

Fish traps are traps made by the player costing them 2 leaves and a raw morsel. The fish trap has to sit in a body of water to work correctly. The advantage of fish traps is that the player can do anything while waiting for the fish and can place as many fish traps as the body of water can hold. Not only that, but fish traps are consistent. Catching ~ 1 raw fish per minute. However the downside of fish traps are that they require a food item that is less sought after and has to be raw.

It is a good idea to place fish traps near the player's base so when they come back from an expedition they have plenty of food to refill with.

As fish traps and fishing in general will catch a lot of food, it is suggested that the player make a storage area for the food.

As of the Reset Update, fish or any food do not have to be preserved at any state.
