Fishing in 7 Days to Die

[Carlzilla]

Here's a basic fishing mod for the game. Unlike a lot of other fishing mods, nothing about the default game is changed, all edits are new, so it's a lot easier to remove if you need to.

Just paste the code from the pastebin links into the appropriate .xml file in your .../7 Days to Die/Data/Config/ folder. (Be sure to check the IDs if you have other mods installed)

To start fishing you'll need to craft a fishing pole. The rod requires 3 wood, 1 fishing weight (can be made with 5 lead scraps), 1 scrap iron, and 3 bait (can be made from moldy bread, raw meat, or raw fish). Once you have the fishing pole, head to your favorite fishing spot (any water should work) and right click with the rod equipped. Your rod will change into a fishing catch which will need to be placed on the ground and harvested like any other animal (butchering tools work best). After you harvest everything from the fishing catch, you'll get your unbaited fishing pole back. You'll have to bait it again in your crafting menu and then you'll be able to fish again. Pretty easy stuff.

I used a custom icon for the Fishing Poles, so you'll need to download this rar file and uncompress it to your main 7 Days to Die folder in order for the icon to show up in game.

I'd like to give a huge thanks to Kage, from the official forums, who's own fishing mod inspired me to work on this one. I also borrowed some of his foodstuffs where they would be almost identical (things like grilled fish, boiled fish, etc.), you can check his mod out here:

This is OLD.

It's not been updated for at least 2 major alpha versions, possibly 3.

Well i figured that by the date... I was looking for a simple Fishing mod that would just add it alone... i dont want a bundle of mods i wont use. I like simple :D

I hear ya. I'm a supporter of small, simple modular mods.

However, I'm not even sure that some of the tags used in this are still supported in the game. Some item codes changed in either A14 or A15.

sorry but meanclouds fishing mod will always be the best fishing mod, sadly it only works up to alpha 21 and thats just disheartening
