Fishing System V2 is now live!!
MASSIVE CPU OPTIMIZATIONS
MASSIVE NETWORK OPTIMIZATIONS
NEW MECHANICS
NEW UI
After MANY attempts, I have finally been able to rebuild the fishing system from scratch and got it to run locally on each clients machine. This means that the host’s PC will no longer have sad thoughts while running multiplayer, while remaking there were also MANY optimizations made which increase performance even for single player gameplay. Since this new system doesn't require the host to run. Ping should no longer affect this system (probably).
The new system uses both LMB and RMB, it should be much more intuitive and easier to get the hang of while still being difficult. Instead of Using LMB to REEL you now will reel in constantly, but if you are in the center of the bar it will reel faster, and on the sides it will reel slow. The UI was also overhauled with a new aesthetic and is displayed in-game attached to the pole (You can still use the classic on-screen UI by enabling the setting in the esc menu.)
(There may still be a few bugs with this system as it was a major overhaul so if you do encounter any issues please let me know on discord or steam discussions and I will have them fixed asap)
Bobber is much smoother now when moving in water.
The size of the fish (not just species) now plays a large role on the difficulty to catch a given fish. This means that you won't spend two minutes reeling in a tiny paddlefish.
Amount of days survived bonus is now less randomized.
Nerfed Beer Bonus
Before it would give an 80% bonus when max drunk (8% boost per beer)
Beer is now nerfed and changed to a new formula, instead of 8% per beer the formula has been changed for a float graph that makes the first beer drank worth 8% boost and then each beer after worth slightly less, (the new max boost after 9.9 beers is 30%.
Other changes
Thunder Storm bonus changed from 20% -> 25%
Fishing at Night time now gives a 10% bonus to bait score. (18:00 and after)
Butcher Table now required 20% more fish point value for each tier of bait -For example, before you would need a point value of 45 in order to get the best butchered bait. Now a fish will need to be worth atleast 60 points
