Dingle Posted December 3, 2024 Share Posted December 3, 2024 I heard ocean trawlers work offscreen, catching about 1 fish a day. So I tried putting some in an unloaded area on the coast. 3 were close to each other. 2 were spaced further away. All were right next to the shore. I checked 3 days later, none of them caught a single fish. What did I do wrong? Or was I wrong about them working offscreen?

I also tried again, but put monster meat in the nets. Not a single fish. I'm stumped. Will try again with kelp. I actually wonder if something broke. The devs did mess with unloaded stuff, that's why spider nests grow so much faster now.

I checked every 3 days for 15 game days in a normal game, no using console or anything. Will try again. Are you completely unloading yours, or are they just slightly offscreen in your base?

The video also says that offscreen, the land tiles thing doesn't really matter. He also clarifies that the "more traps together" only applies to like 4 tiles.
