Add Fishing

1.7K votes

Would be really nice to be able to relax and fish in this game, with the addition of being able to add a pond near your base to fish different variants of fish depending on the biome you're located in.

No water in the game (as far as I've seen, so far), and it may be an issue with performance to add water physics, but it would be nice if there was a machine we could build to collect water (maybe just out of the air) and place it within our base. Then, add a quest, or game mechanic that allows us to collect or gather fish to fill our pond/lake with. Lore wise (as long as I haven't seen the lore explaining away the existence of water) it could be explained as the player reclaiming and restoring the lands. Kinda looks like a lot of the enshrouded areas were once under water..

I would say, that there is no water in game for a reason and it's justified in lore by notes already, i won't spoil anything, but look for Umber Hollow related notes.

I think the world would have been better with water where you see beautiful waterfalls, and have fishing in the game for food

I want fishing, but do not necessarily need you to flesh out water - just make pond models we can place at our bases with different types of water, fish, and rods please.

I would also love to see fishing added. There are wells, perhaps fishing holes could be discovered in caverns under ground for fishing. That way it won't mess with the lore. As far as the physics goes, wouldn't it be similar to the shroud physics?

what drives me crazy about gamers asking for fishing is how unspecific you want to experience this. do you want a overly simplistic cast line and watch the float dip into the water and then click repeatedly until its magically in your inventory? do you want to walk the shore line and have it avoid obstacles like logs and reeds while managing tension? but saying you want something vague usually gets the quickest product possible and is often easiest but ultimately underwhelming.

I find fishing in all games to be really bad, but I upvoted this for the fact that it would mean we would have to have water.

I would like to see fishing added. Something where you can craft better and better fishing poles. Various types of fish with the occasional rare. Perhaps better baits add improved odds to get a rare, etc.

Having both Fresh Water and Salt Water fishing would be ideal.

Just put SECRET FISHING SPOT on the qwest......I will BITE and so will the humans who love this Ancient Activity (Hint /Advice)! I will take whatever you decide. The game is very pleasing to the eye thus far..... this would be the CANDY spot for the game!

Of course, we would need water first...

I beg you to add fishing - it's the only thing in survival games that makes me happy

Unlike hunting...which feels more like combat.. fishing is so peaceful. I don't fish irl, but any game that has fishing in it has taken up a good few chunks of my life (in a god way!). Its a minigame if done right!

Please don't. I don't know why people keep wanting this in literally every game but nearly every game has it already, in many different versions and all of them are horrible. Leave this save haven alone with your fishing.

Let me be honest... how are you supposed to fish in this world? do you want to throw the line into the red deadly miasma and hope that something bites? Seriously, you don't want to land whatever it is you're fishing for!

although...

Fishing (with water update) = new activity = new food = new recipes = new buffs = collect live fish for ponds/aquariums?!

Or a library of collected fish / trophies?

UNDERWATER CREATURES AND ENEMIES?! The possibilities are endless!
