README

Comfy Fishing

Fishing without the tug-of-war.

Haldor's rod is what it always was: hold the button, watch your stamina drain, lose the fish. Craft your own rod and fishing changes. Cast, wait, and when something bites you get a proper moment to click (1.5s, not half a second). Then the fish reels itself in — no stamina, no escaping, no snapped line. Let go of the mouse. Bigger fish take longer; higher fishing skill and a better rod bring them in faster. Skill still levels while you reel.

Rods

Four craftable rods, so you never need to find Haldor. Each tier unlocks more bait and reels 20% faster than the last.

Rod Where Cost Durability
Wooden fishing rod Workbench 10 Wood, 4 Resin, 2 Leather scraps 60
Bone fishing rod Workbench 2 10 Fine wood, 4 Bone fragments, 5 Resin 100
Silver fishing rod Forge 2 10 Fine wood, 4 Silver, 2 Guck 150
Black metal fishing rod Forge 3 10 Fine wood, 5 Black metal, 5 Linen thread 200

Crafted rods wear one point per cast and upgrade to level 4 at their station — each level adds durability and another 10% reel speed. Haldor's rod never wears, but it never gets comfy either.

Bait

Bait is per biome, so bait is how the catch is gated. Each needs a fishing skill level and a rod before fish will take it. All bait is made at the Cauldron; the biome ones are vanilla recipes.

Bait Made from Skill Rod
Fishing bait 2 Neck tails + 1 Mushroom → 10 (or Haldor) 0 Wooden (or Haldor's)
Forest bait 20 Fishing bait + Troll trophy 10 Wooden (or Haldor's)
Cave bait 20 Fishing bait + Fenring trophy 20 Bone
Swamp bait 20 Fishing bait + Abomination trophy 25 Bone
Ocean bait 20 Fishing bait + Serpent trophy 30 Bone
Plains bait 20 Fishing bait + Lox trophy 40 Silver
Mistlands bait 20 Fishing bait + Seeker soldier trophy 55 Silver
Ashlands bait 20 Fishing bait + Morgen trophy 70 Black metal

Under-levelled? It bites, you're told it's too strong for you (or your rod isn't up to it), and it swims off. Each biome bait now carries its biome's colour so they don't all look the same. The whole tier table is one line in the config.
