Reel-y Spec-tackle-lure
Fishing skill, fishing tweaks, and ... Danger?
You've fished...and fished...and fished. And you have little to show for all your effort.
Reel-y Spec-tackle-lure adds a Fishing skill that improves your ability to hook fish as your skill increases.
It also adds some tweaks to fishing without radically altering the basics:
- Fish within range will begin to splash the surface when you cast your line to give you an idea if you've found a good location
- Fish are excited by your bait and will converge on your float faster & from farther away
- Fish won't spend as much time milling around or bottom feeding while you're fishing; they'll go after your bait more often
- Adjustable float size to make it larger and more visible in the water
And a word of caution when deep-sea fishing ... the ocean can be a dangerous place. Be careful what you fish for!
Version 0.1.2
- Added configuration to allow other mods (e.g., More Skills) to manage the fishing skill, with RSTL still providing its fishing tweaks and deep-sea danger.
- Abbreviated the chat command to /rstl
- Added a small chance of spawing a level 3 (2 star) serpent in the ocean. You'll need a longboat and probably a friend for this one.
Configuration
General
- UseFishingSkill: Set to false to allow another mod to manage the fishing skill. RSTL will sill provide its fishing tweaks. Default is true (RSTL fishing skill enabled)
- DetectionRadius: The maximum distance from the fishing float to search for fish. Default is 25. Can be set from 10 to 50
- FloatSize: The size of the float. Increase to make the float larger and more visible in the water. Valheim default size is 1. Can be set from 1 to 3
Utility
- LogLevel: Controls the level of information in the log
- FishingSkillID: The numeric identifier for the Fishing skill. Only change this if you have a conflict with another custom skill using ID 879. Can be set from 200 to 900. Note that changing this value will reset your Fishing skill
In-game reconfiguration
You can use Configuration Manager (or similar) mod to change the configuration without exiting the game, and force Reel-y Spec-tackle-lure to update its configuration from the chat window (press Enter) then type:
/rstl config
You can also modify the detection radius and float size directly from the chat window using this syntax:
/rstl detectionradius=40

Notes
-
Reel-y Spec-tackle-lure won't spawn additional fish or radically change fishing mechanics. You still have to catch fish, although it gets easier as your skill increases.
-
To use RSTL's fishing skill with MoreSkills installed, you need to turn off the fishing skill in the MoreSkills FishingConfig file: Enable Fishing Skill = false.
