fishfarm gave me 55m credits in 30 mins.

this needs fixing asap tbh. i put 100k salmon in the farm fed the fish and it gave me 55m credits. this seems very very wrong. its destroyed the economy in the game.

Everything regarding fish needs fixing, I dont think the devs have even tried balancing that yet. Buy the Flippy and a couple 2500 hook lines, go fishing and make a million on one trip.

And fix it they will.

and u are filling the feeder with 50 kg per time ore can man use crane or something?

[Don Deal]

That is actually realistic, not in matter of time and things like that obviously, but considering a low price like 70Nok for one kilo, that gives you 45million. Normally it is not easy to obtain fish that is 8kg, but a biomass of around 600 tons, is not unusual.
If you also take into consideration that how much a ship in this buisness costs, I'm pretty sure those 50mill won't take you too far when the game evolves and prices adjust.

did that with the other boat and got like 6+m for setting 5 buckets.

Actually flippy has a cargo capacity of 1.5t, which is currently disabled. Once its enabled flippy will bring you max (best fish to sell i found 45$ per kg) 67500 NOK per fishing trip. The tier 2 one is at 6.6t i think.
And: you have seasons and quotas of per YEAR sellable fish. 6m NOK is probably from more halibutt than what you are allowed to sell in 8 years.
So a lot of the currently disabled but planned features will lead to a totally diffrent picture.

On top of that: if playing in multiplayer you cant skip time, so you have to wait the ingame 12-17h for the line, which is only like 2h but still the total fishing trip will take way longer than what you have when playing alone.

Same with the fishfarm: once in multiplayer you have to wait through the 5 (or is it 6) days till the fish are ready before you can rake in the profits.

So while currently fishing and fishfarm is better than printing money, once the planed features are there the picture is diffrent, keep that in mind. At the moment the game is at a verry early beta stage... so they intentionally made making money way easier than what it will be. Might still not be balanced, but really hard to tell until at least the carying weight of the ships and the quotas are in place.

As of yesterday after the patch, and before the patch, you only need to feed them 1 x 50kg bag per day. So could have actually been done quicker than 30 minutes. Had he let them all get the fish to 8kg he could have sold them for 65M or 68M. I forgot which one.

hoping for a crane on the tier 3 cargo vessel and bigger fish food containers.....

And I fed them by delivering food 19x and pressing 'E' for 643 times to put the food into the feeder :-(

I did the same thing my 1st time doing the fish farms, until someone told me about this. I am sure it will change with a patch in the future but for now it works. Is still active as well as I just did it.

buying that now after getting 15mill for 40 mins of longline fishing lol

Well I hope this gets adjusted maybe divide the number of fish held by ten and increase the time taken to grow.

[Spoopy Owl]

do the salmon also breed? like, if I put 20k smolt in there, let them get to 8kg+ and don't harvest them, will i later see more 1kg fish appearing and growing... tho i'd expect this to take more of an in-game year, and also expect them to stretch out the growing time later

yeah, i hope they bring in some kind of bigger way to load feed. beyond the odd glitch of only needing 50kg a day. but, The fish farms, if my screenshot and ruler work are to be believed. will take aprox 105,000 kg to fill up. and I do not want to be loading thme 50kg at a time. I had assumed I'd be able to like, push a button on the console or something and load all 500kg at 1 time, not have to take 10 x 50kg bags out of it, that's 60 E's per bag. and you can fit 8 of them with some work on the phil. thats 480 E's for 4,000kg... guess i'll just do that another 26 times.
