Fishing is a great way to not only finish the important quest to get 50 items donated to the museum to get it going, but also to make the best use of the player’s kitchen after all its upgrades have been purchased. There are several things that players can do to get better at fishing as well as get every single one at least once to complete the ocean exhibit in this life andfarm sim.
Fishing On Coral Island
In order to fish in the successfullyKickstartedCoral Islandthat made $1.6 million USD, players don’t need much. They are given a fishing rod and a bug catching net the first time they visit the Beach Shack in town by the ocean front. The owners will supply the player with everything they need to start catching basic bugs and fishing up basic fish. Upgraded fish require the improved fishing pole, which is 3,700 coins. It is also purchased at the Beach Shack.
The mini-game is thankfully simple;fishing in video gamesis notorious for being weirdly difficult or really not fun. Take the fishing rod out to the water. Players can fish mostly in any water, including the ocean, the lake, and the rivers and ponds in the forest. Select the fishing rod in the hot bar, then press and hold left click to use it. The player’s avatar will throw the hook into the water.
Wait for the shadow of a fish to appear. If a shadow doesn’t appear in about five seconds, players should move to a different location or try again with a bigger distance.
Once a fish bites, press and hold the left-click. A tension zigzag will appear around the fishing meter, showing players how close the line is to breaking. Players should reel the fish in when it is not wiggling to prevent the tension from getting too high. Players can click, hold, then let go to let off some tension, then click again. Keep at this until the fish meter is filled all the way up. Rarer fish will take longer to pull in.
Fishing Skill in Coral Island
Players can level their fishing skill in thisStardew Valley-like farm simjust by fishing. There are a total of 10 levels, and each level makes regulating the tension in the rod a little easier. Fishing also unlocks items in a skill tree, which allows players to upgrade things like tension regulation and the ability to catch double fish. There are three recipes unlocked by fishing levels as well. These are:
