About this mod
This mod rebalances fishing rods so that upgrading your fishing rod actually makes them better at fishing, apart from bait/tackles.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Were you under the impression that buying a fishing rod makes fishing easier? Well, that's actually wrong! Higher tier fishing rods only give you the ability to use bait, and eventually a tackle. This mod aims to make upgrading your fishing rod feel more satisfying by making them actual better rods.
Features
- Makes higher tier fishing rods (Fiberglass, Iridium) better at the fishing minigame:
- Faster nibble time, giving you faster bites.
- Faster fishing bar, making control slightly harder to stabilise, but helps catching up with faster fish
- Faster catching, the catch bar (on the right of the fishing minigame) increases faster when your bar is on a fish
- Slower loss, the catch bar (on the right of the fishing minigame) decreases slower when your bar is not on the fish
- Highly configurable:
- Every setting can be globally turned on/off
- Don't want faster fishing bar? Simply turn it off!
- Don't want faster fishing bar? Simply turn it off!
- Every setting above is configurable per fishing rod.
- Recommendatons:
- Don't increase bar speed too high/low, as this makes it harder to control.
