Mold Shark is there easy way to safely fish for them?

[Dragonfly42]

I have heard that mold sharks are a good fish to cook with. Being in the mold area though I was wondering how to safely fish for them? I want to fight Omoroth the sea titan & have good recipes to help in the fight.

You can stop mold tiles from spawning enemies by tilling them with a hoe or you can just rip up the mold tiles with a shovel and replace them with whatever you want.

Mold water will fill in gaps just like regular water so if you don't want to bother with terraforming a section of the mold dungeon you could dig a channel leading to another river or any other large open space with no floor.

Do be aware that the mold water will 'infect' and replace any water it touches so if you plan on letting it into an existing lake or river I'd set up some kind of containment before hand unless you're ok with having a large section of nasty brown mold water somewhere. There's no easy way to drain an area of water, so once it's there, it's there.

Can you still make any water into mold water by putting 8 tiles of mold biome around a single tile of water, and then digging to make it spread?

I might have to give this a try near my base!

This is a long process, but if you make a dedicated path to your base you can create your mold oasis. It requires digging a control path to where you want it. Then patch up the path with ground. Just make sure it is controlled to avoid contaminating anything. I built three oasis, regular, acid n mold water. Fishing without worrying n close to base for more baits
