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: Obtained by chopping down trees.
  • 10 Copper Ingots: Created by smelting Copper Ore and Charcoal in a furnace.

Before you can access the Supplies Workbench, ensure you've unlocked the Essential Tools in the Crafting section of your Memetics menu. Once ready, press 'F' to add the fishing rod to your crafting queue. The crafting time will be shown on the lower left side of your menu. Once it's complete, don't forget to collect your newly crafted Fishing Rod from the workstation.

  • Refrigerator: Keeps your fish fresh for a few extra days.
  • Meat Drier: Dries the fish, preserving it indefinitely.
  • Specimen Rack: Mounting your fish here keeps it fresh and edible as long as it's displayed. Note that you can only showcase one creature at a time.
