Salted FIsh

[thelebk]

What is the point of salted fish? They require salt which is rare early in the game, a level II hunters lodge, and salted fish do not last as long as dried fish. Dried fish requires no salt and can be done with level I Hunters lodge.

Hi gamer, you answered your own question! I personally do not mine salt .. happy gaming :)) Maybe if your working on extraction skill, and doing salt it would help, not to mention selling.

Ah, interesting that it doesn't last as long as dried fish. I had always assumed it would last longer, but never actually checked. (Since lasting longer isn't really that important with food being in abundance in this game). I guess it's just there for immersion, like a lot of the foods you can make.

I really would like there to be some benefit for having different foods and drinks available to your workers.

You can get salt from day 1. Craft a pickax and head to the nearest mine.

Yes you could, but you could not salt any meet since you will not have the level II hunting lodge unlocked for quite some time. Also why would you bother if dried meats are superior?

Can't you use salted meats in raw meat/fish dishes, while you can't with dried meat/fish? I don't have the game (been looking into it to see if it's in a state worth playing to me), but that's what looking at the wiki and YT videos of the cooking interface has shown me.

As far as I know, salting fish is possible in the fishing hut II. I found it is the one and only way to have your fishermen level up very fast.

[thelebk]

Indeed though fishing hut II is further down the tech line than Hunting lodge II which you must unlock first. I still see no benefit of salted fish over dried.

Don't see the point in the fishing hut altogether really. Inferior to the hunting lodge in every way. There is only one cooking recipe for fish, while there are numerous recipes for meat.

Not only that, it is pretty expensive to run it as it requires a fishing spear. Which requires a smithy and expensive linen thread to make.

[Lailantie]

The fishing hut is when you have a big village, you need jobs for your workers, it looks nice and they have something to do. You have a smithy III and linen threads galore for fishing spears, you don't need the money you get from selling the salted fish, but it's nice to have.

Salted fish are in fish tarts higher end food for them to eat. And they love wheat beer will drink them gone before they drink the rest.

[FROGGER]

All the fish meat quests are going on my nerves. I have to find a cook, a fisherman or go back to my village every time i get these kind of quests. Why cant I just gut the fish on the spot like with land animals and like I can in real life??? It's so unrealistic.

[Morri]

Damn Frogger, this is the 3rd thread about fish you post this in; you must REALLY hate fishing meat quests xD

[FROGGER]

I really do find them extremely stupid :)

It's too bad we don't have a fishing pole in the game. Fishing in real life is so relaxing. Find a stick, tie a string on it and let the end dangle in the water. You don't really need to have a hook or bait if you just want to relax. It also gives you plenty of time to think about everything or nothing, it's your choice.

I'd love that, though in this game you don't really have time to relax, you have to work your butt off xD Try COTW The Angler ;)
