the ai will automatically make fish bait depending on what they need to fish. So for bass its berry bait. As long as they have access to berries they'll make it. For fish/meat you need to go out in a row boat and fish at those spots with fish jumping around. It allow to assign your fisheries to fish there. Then they'll make the appropriate bait and use the row bot attached to the dock.

Really? My fisher just stands in the water waiting for me to make bait. If I don't watch out for him, he'll just stand around as the fish run out and the food sitch takes a dive.

Whenever I find berries now I just convert it all to berry bait so that my fisher does the fishing thing. Drop a hundred or so in the bait chest and check back later.

As for fish bait, I just make it from the fish he catches, when I make it at all. You have to harvest it to fillets, and then make bait. What difference it makes is not clear.

My cook will go over and harvest the fish to cook with, but the whole 'chuck it on the ground and hit it with the knife' mechanic is odd, as is the one skinny fillet you get from a fish.

If anyone knows how to reliably get him to make his own bait, that would be good.

So my fisherman makes his own bait, I watched him run over to the gatherers hut to get berries then run back to the fishery to make the bait at the table, then fish. Are you out of berries?

the way to make it reliable is to form a production chain. This consists of using the warehouse specializing fish production. Also remember to manage your white list correctly and you'll find the ai will do what you want it too.

Interesting. Thanks for the responses.

My farm generally has a good supply of berries, but it's not very close to the fishing hut ... Maybe it's too far?

As for the warehouse, I haven't built one yet. I've managed to stumble through to like, 20 days until the first portal event, and the attacks you get hit with every few nights tend to wipe out my logging and/or stone huts, which destroys all the resources as well.

So yeah ... limping along, losing all my wood and stone every few nights has left me underdeveloped. I'll give it a shot though.

Thanks

that's the general start of the learning curve. Once you manage to understand what you need to focus on at the start it gets easier then, you'll get thrown with another curve ball. Just expect to always have a curve ball around the bend till you can master the iron tier. After that you'll feel a sense of ease and understanding.

Yes the warehouse and the market will become very crucial in your village. These structures are what make your ai start to feel smart.
