Fixed the Advanced Fish Food recipe and separated it from the Fish Feed breeding product
11The Chopper is a crafting station in Starsand Island primarily used to produce fishing bait. It chops and processes raw materials into the bait types needed for the fishing system. The Chopper comes in three tiers, each unlocked through the Angler profession, and is essential equipment for any player serious about completing the Islandpedia fish collection.22How to Unlock55All three Chopper blueprints are purchased from Delphin at the AquaBlue Outpost, located on the right side of Half-Moon Bay. Each tier requires a higher level of Angler profession certification.77TierUnlock RequirementBlueprint CostChopper IApprentice Angler600 coinsChopper IIJunior Angler1,700 coinsChopper IIIIntermediate Angler4,000 coins99After purchasing a blueprint, build the Chopper at your Worktable. The Chopper I requires Bronze, Glass Panes, and Softwood Planks. Higher tiers require progressively rarer materials. Place the finished Chopper near your fishing gear storage for a streamlined workflow.1010Build Materials1212Building a Chopper I at the Worktable requires several processed materials. You will need to gather and process base resources before construction.1414MaterialHow to ObtainBronzeSmelt Copper Ingots + Tin Ingots at the FurnaceGlass PanesCraft Glass Bricks (Quartz + Charcoal), then process at the CutterSoftwood PlanksProcess Softwood at the Cutter1616Higher Chopper tiers (II and III) require upgraded materials such as Iron Sheets and Hardwood Planks. Check your Worktable recipe list after purchasing each blueprint to see the exact requirements.1717Bait Types1919The Chopper produces three main bait types, each attracting different categories of fish. Every fish species in the game has a preferred bait listed in the Islandpedia. Using the correct bait is essential; the wrong bait means the fish will not bite at all.2121BaitChopper InputAttractsMeat BaitFlour + Fish FilletCarnivorous fish: Sharks, Tuna, Anglerfish, most deep-sea speciesVeggie BaitVegetable Juice + FlourHerbivorous fish: most freshwater and some ocean speciesBug BaitProtein Powder + FlourSpecific picky eaters that only respond to insect-based bait2323The intermediate ingredients (Flour, Fish Fillet, Vegetable Juice, Protein Powder) are all produced at the Separator. Flour comes from Wheat, Fish Fillet from any caught fish, Vegetable Juice from any vegetable, and Protein Powder from any bug. Keep your Separator stocked alongside your Chopper for smooth bait production.2424Separator Integration2626The Chopper and Separator work as a pair. The Separator instantly processes raw materials into the base ingredients the Chopper needs.2828Separator OutputSeparator InputUsed InFlourWheatAll three bait typesFish FilletAny fishMeat BaitVegetable JuiceAny vegetableVeggie BaitProtein PowderAny bugBug Bait3030Because Flour is required for all bait types, keep a large supply of Wheat growing. It is the single most important crop for anglers.3131Advanced Fish Food3333The Chopper III unlocks a fourth product: Advanced Fish Food. This is not standard fishing bait; it is used exclusively in fish traps to attract fish and shrimp passively. Advanced Fish Food dissolves slowly and significantly improves trap catch rates compared to regular bait.3535ProductChopper InputStation RequiredProcessing TimeAdvanced Fish FoodVegetable Juice (x50) + Fruit Pulp (x1) + Flour (x1)Chopper III~19 in-game minutes36+ProductChopper InputStation RequiredProcessing TimeAdvanced Fish FoodSalt Brick (x2) + Sugar (x2) + Flour (x1)Chopper III~19 in-game minutes37-The large Vegetable Juice requirement (50 units) means you will need a dedicated vegetable supply for Advanced Fish Food production. This recipe is primarily for players investing heavily in the fish trap system for passive income.37+Advanced Fish Food draws on cooking-side ingredients (Salt Bricks and Sugar) rather than the Separator outputs the three baits use, so set up salt and sugar production before relying on it. It is a separate product from Fish Feed, the Chopper II breeding feed, which is made from 1 Vegetable Juice + 1 Fruit Pulp + 1 Flour and comes out 5 units per batch.3838Chopper Tier Comparison4040Each Chopper tier includes all recipes from previous tiers, plus new ones.4242FeatureChopper IChopper IIChopper IIIMeat BaitYesYesYesVeggie BaitYesYesYesBug BaitYesYesYesFish Feed (breeding)NoYesYesAdvanced Fish Food (traps)NoNoYesBlueprint Cost600 coins1,700 coins4,000 coins4444Tips4545Build the Chopper I as soon as you begin the Angler profession. Without bait, you can only catch the most basic fish with a bare hook, severely limiting your progression.Meat Bait is the most important bait type for mid-game and late-game fishing. All deep-sea fishing zones (Coral Sea, Luminwave, Celestwave) are dominated by carnivorous fish that require Meat Bait.Bug Bait requires bugs caught with the Bug Net. Build up an insect collection alongside your fishing supplies. Bugs are also needed for the Bugs collection in the Islandpedia.Place the Chopper near your fishing rod storage and a bait chest for fast preparation before fishing trips.Batch-produce bait during rainy days when outdoor farming is less efficient. A stockpile of 50+ of each bait type ensures you are always ready for any fishing spot.Upgrade to Chopper II when you start breeding fish. The Fish Feed recipe is necessary for maintaining fish in breeding ponds.If you use fish traps for passive income, upgrading to Chopper III is a priority. Advanced Fish Food dramatically improves trap yields.
