lakhnish Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 The only way to get Fish Food is to trade three bottles with Pearl. The problem is that amassing bottles is very difficult as they spawn so slowly in my experience. Out of curiosity, I tried Fish Food with the new Ocean Trawler in a test world and it's absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to really farm Fish Food since bottles are so rare. Having access to a reasonable, craftable Fish Food would be amazing with this update, as I've never really done as much fishing as with the new Ocean Trawler + Fish Food combo.

skile Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 make her give you more fishfood per trade, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't resolve the core issue that farming bottles is a painful experience. 5 minutes ago, Flarezen said: Monster meat works as bait too Does Monster meat make new schools of fish spawn like Fish Food does? Edit: Just checked, it doesn't do the same thing as Fish Food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legokirbytwin Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It is definitely an... interesting item. I would like it to be a bit easier to access since consistently farming bottles is not a thing, relies entirely on luck. I actually tried using it for a bit, because it was taking me about an entire season to get the deep ocean seasonal fish to spawn (and still no luck), so honestly haven't touched it since. Would be interesting if they decided to make it a recipe instead and it could require using barnacles or other materials dropped/collected from the Sea Weeds, since they produce their own "fish food" anyways. And if they don't want to change the cost, well can we at least have it only spawn the seasonal fish when used in the correct water source?

I've always really disliked the bottle spawning mechanic. Currently each player has a timer on them that spawns a bottle every 1-2 days in the ocean, if you have two or more people, great! You'll be getting bottles all the time, but solo it just feels like such a drag, and making this mechanic a multiplayer scaling mechanic has always been such an odd design decision to me. An idea a friend of mine had that I really liked is, make the spawning 2x faster or something like that, and instead tie it to boats instead of players, obviously only boats that have players on them would work. This makes it essentially a constant rate of bottles equivalent to the amount you'd get with 2 players currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly serious advise, but, every player has the same bottle spawn rate, so the more people that are together, the more bottles that spawn Edit: I just read the response above mine But I think pearl should sell the recipe to fish food if anything, and let it be craftable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primalflower Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 i don't see a particular need for fish food to be made craftable. Just one fish food can net you like, an amount of fish meat comparable to a koalefant, for 3 bottles, with good use of the trawling net building. Given how you passively gain bottles for doing things on the ocean, it seems perfectly fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely like the idea of learning a recipe for Fish Food rather than increasing the spawn rates of bottles since I like using the bottles for Growth Fertilizer (unless the rate really is a lot more, since I asked my fishing friend and they said that even they don't use the fish food). Pearl will also entrust to her Pearl to us but not the recipe for Chum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArubaroBeefalo Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 i dont get why it cost 3 bottles, 1 bottle x many fish food feels fair. At the end, is something you unlock after many work and isnt op at all when there are other food sources that can be even absurd like volt goats or potatoe+tomaroot combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley123123 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 seconding this. bottle farming is very tedious and id love to have chum just be a crafttable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionking102 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I always liked the idea of the fishfood a lot, its also cool for normal fishing with the fishingrod. But no one invests 3 bottles for 1 fishfood... The item should be at least a lot cheaper or not tied to buying for bottles at all. I think we should be able to buy a blueprint for it in lategame so we can craft it. On top of that - some engaging way to farm bottles would be awesome and also kind of solve the problems (of course with cheaper price). I would love to see a item like like the crow nest from @Hornete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell_winters Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I don't like the idea of bottle trading with Pearl at all. Bottle spawning seems like an artificial reason to explore the empty ocean. I hope Klei will reconsider this system since we now have actual reasons to explore the ocean with Waterlogged and Moon Quay. Making Fish Food a blueprint would definitely be an improvement.

bagherthegamer Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I have a question: Does the trawler farm fish Automaticly when offscreen or does it only work when players are around? I might check this myself when i get back to my pc... Honestly i really like the idea of a passive fish farm. I dont care about getting seven stacks of fish in ten second i just want to setup a few of these around and comeback after a day to collect fish.

I might check this myself when i get back to my pc... I don't know about offscreen, but I do know that if more than 6 fish enter the trap, the net breaks and releases all the fish. There also seems to be a thing where you can put food into the Ocean Trawler and it will attract the fish (i.e. without the use of fish food) but if the food type doesn't match their diet, they don't replace the food inside but inside add to the 5-6 upper limit that the trawl can hold before breaking (its repair by the player bringing it up and just clicking to repair it). I still need to test some more but I'm away from my pc too, since I'm not 100% sure of the fish is going for the food in the bait regardless of their preferred diet or not.

I think this is the way to go, perhaps make the original cost high enough (like 10 bottles) and then you purchase the blueprint to be able to craft the food yourself.
