📋 About This Mod

Weekly fishing trips that reward players with large amounts of fish, provided the boat doesn't sink.

Modifiable gameplay via Ancient Flags, a unique reward which are occasionally found after successful fishing trips.

Special rewards, such as the Angler Ring or Trident, offer unique boons outside the minigame.

Split-screen and online multiplayer are both supported, allowing for multiple deckhands to help out.

Adjustable difficulty and other settings via Generic Mod Config Menu.

Before you can start your career as a deckhand you must first reach the requirements to meet Murphy.

Standard Requirements:

  • []Reach the needed fishing level (by default level 3)

    []Repair the broken bridge found on the beach

    []Read Willy's letter of introduction to Murphy

    Murphy visits the town once per week (by default Wednesday) and can be found on the beach. More specifically he can be found on the far side docks, across the repaired bridge and past the tide pools.

    When first meeting Murphy, he will inform you of the duties expected of a deckhand and offer you a position aboard his fishing trawler: The Dawnshard.

    Once Ginger Island is unlocked and certain requirements are met, Murphy will offer the player the ability to start fishing trips from the island. These trips are separate from the standard town visits, allowing players to perform two fishing trips per week (though not on the same day).

    Ginger Island Requirements:

    • []Repair the resort at Ginger Island

    • Read an additional letter from Murphy

      Note: The day that Murphy appears can't be set to the same day as his normal town visit.

      The fishing trawler consists of three locations, which you will need to move between to keep the ship functional.

      The first location is the Cabin, where players will first find themselves when starting their fishing trip.

      Note: The timer does not start until a player leaves the cabin, so take your time before heading out to deck!

      The cabin holds three major points of interest:

      [(GPS) Guidance Computer]

      The guidance computer will periodically calculate a new fishing route, which must be manually accepted by the player. If a new route is accepted, the fishing trip's tim
