Buff fishing

[Wendell]

Fishing seems to cost a lot more stamina than everything else and isn't too rewarding, most of the fish sell for very little, and not too many are used in recipes.
Suggestions: make the higher tier fishing rods reduce stamina use, on top of the increased range, or decrease the stamina cost overall, 10+ for ONE fish is pretty excessive.
increase the prices of fish and add perks to catch multiple fish at once, or let us filet the fish and use the fish filets in cooking, instead of the whole fish.

I usually love fishing in games but this is so true, I only fish for the museum and even that is such a pain to me because it simply feels like a waste of time

Im 50h in and the only skill still below 30 is fishing xD Its ridicoulos how much time it costs and how low the money output is..
The fishing game in itself is fine.. But to sell them for sometimes below 30T is just.. meh

Agreed. I've been trying to level it up, but it's way behind my other skill lines. Also, there don't seem to be enough dive spots.. they seem pretty rare.

I also personally find it frustrating that we're limited to fishing in spawn points, and said spawn points don't respawn until you go through a loading zone. This type of method works fine in many fishing-style minigames, but when I literally can't fish unless I leave and come back constantly it takes away the fun of it (I say as someone who will literally prioritize the fishing minigame any time a game has one, and is just genuinely fond of fishing minigames).

A trick to work around the stamina costs?

Spring berries. Doesn't matter if the fish normally takes 20 stamina to reel in: if you just have 1 you'll still succeed.

So I'll just run around the beach/river with a stack of berries and pop one between every cast... effectively fishing for just 1 stamina a pop.

While that helps... yeah. The fish sell for poo-doo, few are good for cooking recipes, it's only possible in limited amounts, takes a bit too long, and costs far too much (stamina) for what we get.

Definitely undertuned.

If you really hate fishing stamina there is another cheaty trick.

Go game folder and open a fiddle.json file

Search there is phrase - "stamina_costs":{"giant_fish":26,"large_fish":20,"medium_fish":13,"small_fish":6,"dive_spots":6},
And change it.
