are the lithium battaries and large fish nets still in game?

Lithium batteries can be acquired through the trading post contract trader on the second floor of the trade post. Complete several contracts and he will eventually offer lithium battery blueprints. Also offers gun recievers AUG, FAMA and others. Large fishnet is gone and replaced by the Fishtank, build it near the water, fill it and fish appear in it to a max of 8. Happy fishing!

Fishtank, another bad decision. Instead of balancing large fishnet, since it was too op, it was replaced by even worse alternative, that adds more micromanagement to the game. Games like this ought to strive to have less micromanagement, not more.
It is equivalent of replacing overeating with diarrhea. One was bad, but only required scaling back. While with second it is a solution that is so much worse than the problem is solves.
Fishtank is effective same thing as large fishnet, but now requires player to refill it with ocean water every two days. And you either have to run back and forth 10 times or make hardware store worth of buckets to do in 1-2 runs. How is it better!?! Considering that water is free and easy to get, all it add is tedium of just regularly running back and forth. It is same thing as with Advanced Purifier, where you have to just stand there for 20 seconds, holding button, to pump purifier full of salt water. Very engaging...

Have the dev's even played their own game. I Spend most of my time in the base cooking food one at a time on three grills, same goes for the water pump stand there and hold down a button.

i like the fishtank. in the blueprints there was a big fishnet wasnt it? i agree on the water thing though. we need an electrical purifier. also i would love solar and wind power to make a comeback, aswell as the big powerbank. the vss is strange, aswell as the famas. cooking isnt that big of an issue for me, as i tend to find a lot of food, and we play with 3 people on the server. if you want to tone down on food and water being such a chore just turn down the settings for them.

My biggest issue with fish tank is that you need to constantly replenish water in it. I would prefer to reduce need for adding water to 1 bucker every 2 days and after 2 weeks adding water prompt is being replaced with "Empty & Clean Tank" prompt, aka completely emptying and having to refill it. Once this prompts appears fish will no longer spawn. So player would still need to tend to it, but it would not be this tedious and intrusive.
I dont know if big fishnet is still in game, havent checked blueprints menu. As i understand fish tank replaces it.
And yes, they ruined perfectly good widely used in game system of power management, replacing it with some weird overly simplified, inferior and counterintuitive alternative.
