Dear Stormworkers,

The third and final fishing major update is out now!

This major update introduces crab and lobster pots, and advanced rod fishing mechanics.

Crabs and Lobsters

There are many varieties of the new crab and lobster sea creatures. As well as being found on the ocean floor, they can be caught (passively over time) with the new fishing pot component. They occur most densely in localized areas and can be sold at the fishing locations.



Advanced Rod Fishing

Rod fishing now as new "fish fighting" mechanics, where fish will fight on the line. Reel in when there is slack, and manage the tension when the fish is pulling. If line tension gets too high, the line will break and the fish will escape.



Fish Improvements

This update also includes various fish fixes and improvements that have been requested by players. See the patch notes below for details.

We look forward to your feedback on this new update!

Much love <3,

The Stormworks Developers
