New Fish

Thanks to Lure, adding new fish to the game is already pretty simple, with Hatchery you can add the data you want for your fish to a spreadsheet and have as many as you want created all at once!
Note that the example fish.csv already filters out the data you probably don't want to modify, but if you want to make your fish even more exciting, simply add a collumn for the relevant data, Hatchery will handle the rest.
Having trouble balancing your fish? Check out this data sheet for easy reference!

Mod files

Hatchery will generate the structure and manifest files for your mod, you just have to answer a few questions, or fill out the example modinfo.json.

What can Hatchery not do?

Hatchery can not make your art for you, that's where you come in!
Hatchery can not export your mod's .pck for you, don't worry, it's pretty easy, check out this quick tutorial!

How do I use Hatchery?

Simply download from the latest Release, get it on Thunderstore, or clone this repository, and run Hatchery.py, your terminal will guide you through the rest.
