The models of the following fish species have been improved: Arctic Char, Ide, Burbot, Atlantic Salmon, and Blue Bream.
A new setting, “Caught Fish Screen Hotkeys,” has been added to the game settings. Hotkeys are enabled by default.
When automatically filling crafting recipes from the keepnet, the fish with the lowest weight is now selected first.
Additional adjustments have been made to the game world to increase gameplay realism in the following locations: Winding Rivulet, Sura River, Belaya River, Copper Lake, and Norwegian Sea.
Spin fishing has received additional adjustments aimed at improving its effectiveness.
Fixed: When replacing a reel mechanism with one featuring a different gear ratio, the new gear ratio parameters were only applied after restarting the game.
