Fishing

[Kaerras]

Fishing for 5 seconds makes me want to never fish again, in this world or any other, until the end of time. Boring and unintuitive, I can't think of a bigger waste of my time. Thanks.

Alpha chads don't fish, they eat raw meat from deer and bear

This game has to have the dumbest fishing mechanic I've ever seen in a game. First off, the tutorial doesn't "teach" you anything. They just give you a fishing rod and bait. That's not a tutorial. Second, after sitting wondering if I was even doing it right, the line started to tense up. Ok, cool.. I guess I have a fish now? I press the "reel in" button, my guy reels for like 2 seconds, then I have to press it again (?). I've been sitting here just watching my tension line go up and down, up and down, up and down all while reeling in 2 seconds at a time for about 3 minutes. absolutely nothing is changing. At this point, just get rid of the fishing. It's a terrible experience and a major turn off to have in the game literally in the first 10 minutes.

Fishing is easy in HumanitZ, and even easier with the Fishing Background. It take less than a minute to 'catch' a fish.

Whats so hard to understand? Reel in to catch, stop reeling in when it pulls out the line, then reel in again. Bang, you caught a fishy! Of course some players want it even easier, sigh, "hold my hand please".

Maybe I should make a Fishing Guide to help others learn how to fish. But after catching 100+ fish I only wish there was a Fish Stew cooking option with a big cast iron pot we could leave over the fire and eat directly from with a coffee cup.

Alpha chads keep bears as pets, they don't eat them.

Roger.

1: Bushes, those green bushes, hit them with something sharp like a knife or axe's.
Its a low drop rate but after cutting down a bunch of those bushes collect 10 bait. It shouldn't take you very long to collect 10 bait.

2a: then grab a fishing rod and your bait and go to the shore or an inland pond.
Then start fishing. You'll turn ALL Perch you catch into bait via the basic crafting menu. And cook up Salmon and Pike for food.

... or ...

2b: Arm a Fish Trap with 1 peace of Bait. Do NOT save and reload when you have Bait in a Animal Trap or Fishing Trap, it can make the Bait despawn ( a bug i think ).
You only catch Perch in a Fish Trap ( if that has not changed, I have not used Fish Traps in a long while ). You do NOT cook Perch, you craft them into Bait.

edit: forgot to say Good luck

had not that much time to play until this weekend...

-thank you for this,now i know how to get bait...
-for example,i was digging around,maybe i could get some from earth like worms...but nothing
-never got one from bushes,but i did cut only maybe two... now i know at least there is a drop chance:)

Fishing isn't really very useful unless you have the game set so that loot doesn't respawn.

In a situation where you have to go further and further to get water and food, it is essential to fish regularly.

Every bait counts in that situation, especially when winter comes.

[PureHTDz]

the bait drop rate is ridiculous, where in the world can you dig up/ cut down ten plants and get only 1 grub/insect/worm,= 1 bait. Yet you have a shovel but cant dig in the ground to turn over soil/dirt to find bait. Which btw would be everywhere considering the large amounts of rotten corpses, rubbish, etc every where, bugs and insects would be in plague proportions..but yet this seems to be the cleanest post apocalyptic zombie world in existence..lmao
Devs please increase bait drop rate or make shovelling for worms/bait a thing.

Hit bushes and you'll get fibers, sticks, and bait.

Fishing made me refund the game. Cements the feeling of this being a very low effort game.
