[quote=“Giga Retro Kumquat, post:18, topic:6696”][quote=“Labtop_215, post:17, topic:6696”]What is your survival level? At level 6, I just roll in fish fillets myself. I smoke em, salt em, dehydrate them, turn them into a protein powder and make wild berry shakes out of them.
Edit: I don’t know if this depends on the time of year that you do this in however. I think pole fishing from a river in the middle of winter isn’t as good as pole fishing from the same river in the summer.
Also, I keep a butchering knife on me at all times.[/quote]
So someone is actually able to sustain themselves off the fishing system
Survival 6 though? jeez thats quite the grind for food, you can go into any forest at level 1 survival and find too much food to eat[/quote]
No it isn’t. It just depends on your playstyle. If you butcher zombies that you kill instead of smashing them for instance, you gain quite a bit of survival skill that way. There are books that improve survival too, and there are ways to stretch your food reserves too. At the moment, 1 smoked fish (or a fish fillet if don’t have enough to smoke) 2 broth making items (5 units of powdered egg, 1 dehydrated vegetables, various eggs, plant marrow, wild vege’s all count as an item that can be made into broth. You can also make bone broth to stand in for one brothing item to stretch those supplies out a bit if you have too.) and some water can make that fish into woods soup which restores 140 nutrition and 100 quench. If you have a small jar, and some time to burn, you can also turn that into fish soup instead from one canned fish which is worth 150 nutrition and 100 quench.
Seriously, don’t increase fishing returns because in the real world, you are lucky if you can catch 1 or 2 fish a day anyway.
