Tips
Sell vs cook vs pond. At 129g, Payara can be sold raw, processed into Fish Fillet at the Separator, or stocked in a pond for breeding.
Track time and weather. Open the Phone Apps to check weather forecasts. Some fish only spawn under specific conditions, and missing the window means waiting for the next cycle.
