To survive, each ship's crew needs provisions. What can you find to eat when surrounded only by water? Fish, of course!
Fish can be obtained several ways:
- collect food by searching the rocks encountered along the way;
- pick up some fish after a mine explosion or from the body of a dead shark;
- catch fresh fish yourself, but for this, you will need to acquire a fishing rod, then after fishing you’ll have to process and cook your catch;
- purchase fish from some traders.
Fishing is an activity that requires concentration and full immersion in the process, so choose a calm place so as not to be distracted from this meditative occupation by angry sharks and other enemies.
There are three types of fish: small, medium, and large, each requiring its own bait. You won't catch a big marlin with a puny worm! So you'll have to sweat and improve your fishing skill!
To prevent your catch from slipping away, control the fishing rod, keeping the float in the "white zone." The longer the float stays out of the zone, the higher the chance that your fish will slip away and disappear into the depths of the sea.
For a more successful fishing experience, here's a life hack from Captain 'Alter Ego': "Cast your line, keeping an eye on where the targeted fish is swimming. Properly directed casting will help adjust the movement and intercept even a fish swimming away from you!"
After a successful fishing trip, your crew will gladly start processing the catch! After all, who really wants to eat raw fish? You can give orders to process the fish every time you obtain provisions or appoint someone from the crew to be responsible for the food supplies, and then the designated character will do their job without your reminders.
Make sure there is always enough food in your hold. After all, as it is known: "A strong crew is a well-fed crew!"
