How to Craft a Fishing Rod
To embark on your fishing adventure, you'll first need to craft a Fishing Rod at the Supplies Workbench. Here’s what you'll need to gather:
- 20 Logs: Harvest these by chopping down trees scattered throughout the game world.
- 10 Copper Ingots: These can be smelted from Copper Ore and Charcoal using a furnace.
Before you can use the Supplies Workbench, make sure you've unlocked the Essential Tools under the Crafting section in your Memetics menu. Once at the workbench, press ‘F’ to queue the fishing rod for crafting. The time required to complete the crafting process will be shown on the lower left side of your menu. Don’t forget to collect your finished Fishing Rod from the workstation once it’s ready!

- Refrigerator: Store your fish here to keep them fresh for a few extra days.
- Meat Drier: Dry your fish to preserve them indefinitely.
- Specimen Rack: Mount your catch to keep it fresh and edible as long as it's displayed. Note that you can only showcase one creature at a time.
- Fish Tank: With a capacity for four fish, based on their size, this is a great way to keep a variety of your catches fresh and on display.
