Why isn't there a Fish Registry? The Plant Registry is so good!


Recommended Posts

I think we need a registry for most things in the game. They're a great learning tool without being a tutorial. And goodness knows the game could do with a way to make it more approachable to new players.

A Monster Manual would also be great, as would some way to generate hints with the cookbook. As it stands you still need an outside source to discover all the recipes since there's no systematic way to discover them all. With crops, you can just plant generic seeds until you've discovered all of them.

It may be because, there are not enough fish yet

As far as I know, there are over 15 kinds of fish, not including lobster.

Yeah, if there's a book called the Book of Monster or something like that. Note the power, HP, ability, date of arrival, and location of each monster encountered. It's like an adventure journal!

I mean, there is not all the ocean content yet, such as large fish, since in the code they all appear as medium and small fish

I guess what you're saying is, Klei is going to make the ocean content complete and then add a registry of all fish.

But that doesn't hurt the experience of adding Fish Registry first, does it? When new updates come in, new fish can easily be added to the Registry. It will never be all the content, since you may have new ideas, new fish, new plants at any time.

Maybe it would be better to have a mob compendium. Separated in sections like creature, monsters, bosses, plants, etc... Including info like loot, HP, where do they spawn from and biomes where to find them.

Would be a cool thing for collectors/completionist to have.

We don't have a "Fish Registry"(Fishy List?, Fishapedia?), because they take a considerable time to construct, it took basically as long to write the entire Plant Registry as it did to program the entire rest of the RWYS update, and we don't have the spare dev time to work on that currently(but we do want to make it). The Cookbook was considerably simpler since most of the code was already written for The Gorge, and we don't have something already written for Fish...

maybe because fishes are nearly useless, they only serve for different stuff when killed, hermit's friendship and some of them for exclusive stuff like cooking and crafting recipes, but yeah would be cool to record the different fish species we fished
