Description
I felt like even without any fishing skill I could get a lot of fish easily and can basically just live off fishing and do nothing else, so I tweaked the vanilla code for more realistic or hardcore survival experience. You will have a high chance of catching twigs instead of fish - while still loosing bait. Fishing zone empties out much faster - 2 catches(Including twigs) average.


Two versions :
  • HARDER VERSION : 60-80 % chance of catching twigs.
  • EASIER VERSION : 30-60 % chance of catching twigs - It is meant to be used with low nature abundance levels so the foraging stuff stays low and at the same time your fish chances won't get nuked too much.


More info :
You have higher chance of getting worms from digging + a small chance to get termites, snails and maggots. When getting more rare insects from the forest, like catepilars, slugs and such then those items wont trigger getting twigs and you have much higher change of getting fish. I also suggest using my Hard Forage mod to get a lot more worms, termites and snails when foraging. I also edited food values of worms, termites, cockroaches and bait fish to be smaller. If temperature is under 0 C then you can't get anything from fish nets and digging worms.

Much harder to fish with a spear ! ! !










This is part of... :
Project Realistic Overhaul - Set of mods I've created that will overhaul the vanilla game experience to be more hardcore and true to life, but on the other hand leaves you the option to make it through and survive. It makes items and actions have more value and makes the world more alive.

For some reason the harder fishing part does not actually work after fishing a few times. I'm still catching twigs, and getting a lot more bait than usual, but fishing abundance decrease stays at vanilla levels.

Does it work with snake mod pack?

actually, I feel it's too difficulty for MP, players will suffer and waster more time in fishing, but anyway, good mod!

@pynoTTV I don't know, they should be an exact replica of the bait fish values multiplied by 10. Same as it takes to craft fish strips.

fish strips are too OP man, it give protein a calories like a rabbit

with normal settings everything works fine, I really like your mods vote +

@Burjak I tried vanilla map with no mods with extreamly rare loot and with both normal and abundant nature settings - works the same. These settings should not interfere with the script at all. IF you get no fish at all then I don't know what to say but if you still get some fish here and there then this is how its supposed to work.
