Fishing and Angling Mod

Description
This mod is intended to expand the gameplay behind the fishing minigame. Rather than having two simple types of bait collected directly from the world, with this mod the player unlocks a branching series of increasingly specialized and expensive recipes which result in better results from fishing.

This mod uses the same loot tables from certain loot tiers as another mod I've made, Loot Sense, and works well alongside it.

One of the goals of this mod is to address the excessive quality and quantity of blueprints and equipment from vanilla fishing. Both should be substantially lower. Some servers are opting to use "no fish loot" as a startup parameter to counteract the overpowered fishing mechanic. This mod attempts to find a middle ground between removing the alternate progression gameplay of fishing and the overpowered nature of vanilla fishing.

The loot tables in this mod are appropriate for The Island or The Center, and do not include any Scorched Earth items or saddles.

After unlocking the fishing rod, learn the Bait Bench and one or more of the Bait types. The Bait Bench is crafted in the inventory and is the station at which all bait types are crafted. The fishing rod will accept all seven bait types crafted here.

Mod ID = 907950400

Hey @RustyOneTwo,
1. Do you have any plans to make this mod compatible with Aberration?
2. Do I still get interesting stuff out of fishing, like nice blueprints and harder-to-find mats every once in a while?
3. What would happen if my FishingLootQualityMultiplier is set to, say, 2 or 3?

Dammit, Paul. Everyone knows that when you court Sabertooth Salmons, they get too emotionally attached to you and will refuse to go into the frontlines of any battle!

1:Did not catch anything using Raw Fish Bait.
2:Did not catch anything using Smelly raw Fish Bait.
3:Did not catch anything using Prime Fish Bait.
4:Did not catch anything using Smelly Fish Prime Bait.
5:Did not catch anything using Leech Blood Bait.
6:Did not catch anything using Anglergel.
7:I court 2 sabertooth salmon, but could not find them in my infantry.

Maybe your mod is not compatible with Tunguska? Or has a recent update broke your mod?

I have made a recreational area for meeting other players, fishing, picnicking with a campfire, drinking beer and moorings for two rafts and and it would be nice if admins could unlock the bat table for all players to use.

This is a great mod. I have used it before in the past. And today I decided to install it on my new server.
1: We need an option to make the bait table public so all the players on the server can use the fishing facilities.
2: I have just found out the super bait doesn't work. I catch a sabertooth salmon, but it doesn't appear in my infantry. That's all for now. I will post more as I find faults.

I was under the impression that fishing was nerffed to the ground, and you hardly get good blueprints and items anymore from vanilla fishing.

Did I miss an update where they mentioned buffing it?, or is the description of this mod just outdated?

Seems like a really cool idea, but to me the issue with Ark fishing is it doesn't feel worth the time in vanilla because of the nerf to loot/blueprints. Would be nice to have a mod that brings something different, and also makes it rewarding.

Anywho just my 2 cents :) Great work keep it up!
