Simple Fishing Trap
A little trap that catches Raw Fish while you're off doing other things.
How it works
- Build it with the Hammer (Crafting tab) near a Workbench, for 6 Wood + 10 Leather Scraps.
- Place it right next to water: within 0.25 m of the water's edge and no more than 0.25 m above the surface. The build ghost turns red if it's too far.
- It catches 1 Raw Fish every 3 minutes, the same Raw Fish used in cooking.
- It holds 10 fish. A full trap stops catching until you empty it.
- Press E to collect. The fish go straight into your inventory, and anything that doesn't fit drops at your feet.
- Like bee hives, traps keep catching while you're away and catch up when you come back. Traps inside someone else's ward can't be emptied.

Multiplayer
Install on the server and on every client. The trap's fish count is saved on the trap itself, so every player sees the same number and only one player can collect each fish. The server's settings are sent to everyone who joins.
CHANGELOG
Changelog
0.1.0
- Initial release: Simple Fishing Trap piece (Workbench, 6 Wood + 10 Leather Scraps).
- Must be placed within 0.25 m of water; ghost turns red otherwise.
- Catches 1 Raw Fish every 3 minutes, holds 10, stops when full. Press E to collect into inventory.
- Keeps catching while away (bee hive style). Ward-protected.
- Custom model loads from plain files (OBJ + PNG textures + PNG icon) next to the DLL — no Unity needed. Unity AssetBundle still supported.
- Trap model: two leaning wooden stakes, sagging nylon net cork floats, stone weights, rope lashings; 4 fish appear as it fills. 256px atlas, ~2.5k tris.
- Placeholder chest model when no model files are present; optional "FishVisual" fill-up meshes.
