Odinrealm Fishing

This mod is an effort to bring fishing into the early game.

Right from the start, a Simple Fishing Pole and spear fishing get you catching fish immediately, and Raw Fish can be cooked at the Workbench before you've even built a real kitchen. Later, once you've put down roots in the Meadows, the Fish Trap gives you a passive way to keep fish coming in without standing at the water's edge. Push further with a boat and a level 3 Workbench, and the Fish Net and Klippfisk open up trawling from the water and a hearty new soup to cook with the catch.

Features

• Fishing pole — bait it with an uncooked Neck Tail and cast from shore or a boat to catch Meadows fish. Much shorter cast than the fishing rod from Haldor. Craftable at a level 1 Workbench.
• Spear fishing — throw your spear to catch a fish. The fish will appear impaled on your spear if you hit it! Pick the spear back up to add the fish to your inventory.
• Raw Fish – This recipe has moved to the Workbench so you can cook your fish over the fire right away. Cooked Fish is now the best Meadows food available.
• Fish trap — build one at the water's surface and check back on it every so often. It has a chance to have trapped a real fish from the local waters, ready to collect. Craftable with the hammer once you have a level 3 Workbench.
• Fish net — mount it on your ship's stern cleat and tow it while underway to trawl for fish. Craftable at any level 3 Workbench. Attach on Karve, Longship and Drakkar. The cleat is on the port side of the ship, opposite the rudder.
• Klippfisk — a new, hearty early-game soup cooked at the Cauldron from Cooked Fish, Carrot, and Thistle.

Notes

This mod ships as a folder (not a bare DLL) because one of its sound effects is a real audio file loaded alongside the plugin — install it the normal way (through r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager, or by copying the whole folder into BepInEx/plugins/) and it'll be picked up correctly.

Requires Jotunn.

Built and tested against Valheim 1.0.16.
