Crafting Your Fishing Rod

To start fishing, craft a rod at the Supplies Workbench with these materials:

20 Logs: Obtained by felling trees. 10 Copper Ingots: Smelted from Copper Ore and Charcoal in a furnace.

Unlock the Essential Tools in your Memetics menu to access the workbench. Press 'F' to queue the rod—crafting time appears in the lower-left menu. Once ready, retrieve your new fishing tool from the workstation.

Prime Fishing Spots in Once Human

Maximize your catch at these hotspot locations:

Wild Dog Isle: Diverse fish varieties. Brookham Dock: Reliable fishing grounds. Harborside Bridge: Freshwater and saltwater access. Greywater Camp: Secluded biodiversity. Holt Town Decking: Rare fish territory. Chalk Peak: High-altitude specialties.

Preserving Your Catch

Like all perishables, fish spoil over time—but preservation methods extend freshness:

Refrigeration buys extra days, while a Meat Drier creates indefinitely preserved jerky. For display-worthy catches, mount them on a Specimen Rack (limit: one creature) to maintain edibility. Alternatively, use a Fish Tank (capacity: four fish) with size-based accommodation.
