Overview
Fishing is a relaxing daily activity in Petit Planet. Players cast a bobber into water, wait for a bite, and reel in their catch. Fish can be used as cooking ingredients, donated to Mors' Omni-Gallery, or gifted to Neighbors. Like other activities, fishing consumes Strength from the player's daily pool.
How fishing works
Petit Planet's fishing has some unique mechanics. The bobber must land directly on the fish, not just near it. Players can see fish swimming in the water and need to aim their cast precisely. Notably, fish do not run away from the bobber, so players can take their time positioning. If the fishing line breaks during a catch attempt, the player can retry without penalty, making the system forgiving for beginners.
Freshwater vs. saltwater
Saltwater fish are harder to catch than freshwater fish. As the player's planet develops and new water features appear through Luca offerings, additional fishing spots become available, including coastal areas with more challenging catches.
Uses for fish
Use | Description |
|---|---|
Cooking | Fish are ingredients in various cooking recipes. Prepared dishes can restore Strength or be gifted to Neighbors. |
Omni-Gallery | Caught fish can be donated to Mors' museum, filling out the aquatic section of the gallery's catalogue. |
Gifts | Some Neighbors enjoy receiving specific fish species as gifts, increasing friendship levels. |
Selling | Fish can be sold for Dough at Glenn's shop. |
Strength cost
Each fishing attempt costs a small amount of Strength. Players must balance their fishing time against other Strength-consuming activities like farming and mining. Eating cooked meals can restore Strength, creating a cycle where fishing provides ingredients that help sustain further activity.
Fishing spots
Different bodies of water on the player's planet and on remote islets during Starsea Voyages contain different fish populations. As the planet develops and new water features appear through Luca offerings, additional fishing spots become available. Coastal and ocean areas provide saltwater fish, which are rarer and more difficult to reel in.
