General_Durandal Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 While I was waiting to Lotus to update my bounty and send me on the next part of the mission, I started to mine anf fish. The fish however have stopped spawning. I've been to 5 different waters and non had fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSG501 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Yeah I've had this a few times, had a few times where I get 0 damage too. I already think the spawn rate on the fish is too low/slow but not having any fish is pretty annoying considering how 'important' fishing is to progression.

Never had the issue where they wouldnt spawn and I couldnt just go into combat and back to fishing to make them show up again - but in terms of the spawn rate; it's something like ½-1½ minute between spawns - sometimes spawning two at the same time. Sometimes even faster. That's not very long at all. During one night time (50 minutes), I can get around 80-130 Lungfish. I really dont think they need to be any faster, from my experience at least. If you really hate fishing; then sure, I can see that.. Edited October 15, 2017 by Tagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White_Matter Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Fishing is extremely frustrating atm. Spawns are extremely rare(or they are RNG based and I'm extremely unlucky) and sometimes the bait doesn't even do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I got what I mentioned. The amount I mentioned, was from handing them in. Not from the progression listing. One full night, generally yields around 80-130 at the spots I tend to sit at, when turning them in (I've done this several times already). The progression listing will double that, so if you want to go by that number; it's 160-260 (Obviously). Edited October 15, 2017 by Tagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really hate fishing; then sure, I can see that.. you know somehow I just don't believe those numbers because based off my own experiences that is far too high an amount for the time you're saying you spend fishing. It's not a case of hating fishing, it's about how long I want to do something that to put it bluntly isn't why I started playing the game but is now a requirement to get certain items...

ACorpse Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 The wiki says you need to be aiming at the water to trigger it to spawn fish, so if you're looking elsewhere maybe it's not spawning them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabreracer Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I had similar issues earlier. One trip to the pool gained me 30 fish or so but a couple of hours later and none would spawn. I tried a couple of pools but without success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can believe whatever you want. Pic, showing hand-in, after the night that just went by (Khut-Khut caught, as Lungfish went away). https://imgur.com/67O6rpO (Equates to 19775 Standing, by handing those it - more than capping me for the day, currently - so I'm not going to hand all in for standing...) I wasn't going to sit for nearly an hour, to record me hardly moving, so a pic will have to do. It's all about finding the right spots. Don't go to larger areas, as that creates a larger area for the fish to spawn and by that, a larger area for you to miss the fish.

Mizque Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I've found I need to have spear out and to look at the water for them to spawn, and that after I catch so many in a certain area they stop spawning there, so I just move to a dif area and fish there and no problems. Biggest problem right now is that the baits/dies are 1 off bp and only let you make 10 of the item (the baits help alot with the problem your having of 'not enough spawning' btw) but I think the fish 'no longer spawning' in a given spot is intentional to get people to go fish in other places Also: on the 'damage' thing, that has to due with the fish and the type of spear your using, each spear is better against different types of fish, the large khut khut for instance are a nightmare to try and catch without using the spear that's specifically for catching carapaced fish. Some fish are just easy to catch with any spear too (like the mortus and the 'catfish' one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainHalide Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 How does the bait even work? I've thrown 1, 3, and as many as 7, then waited with my spear for the fish to show up, and nothing! Is there anything that prevents the fish from spawning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you need to aim your spear at the water to get fish to spawn. I guess they did it that way so you can't just find ponds full of fish and have a fishing frenzy.

It's been quiet, daytime, the water's deep enough, I'm looking at the water, I'm near the water... Does squadmate activity elsewhere cause issues? Does it prioritise alerts over fish?

I don't know, when I go fishing I always solo. I've seen streamers shoot at each-other's fish, and not scare them away, so I guess no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadphase Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 What seems to be the case for me is: When I look directly at the water, spear out, I get no fish to spawn. But after I look in the opposite direction of the water for about 30 seconds about 6 varying types of fish will have spawned right in front of me. So if looking at the water is not working, you might have to just do the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I get no fish at all to spawn, is being to far away from the water. You need to be close to the water for them to spawn. So no more then a meter or two above the water. So most of those big rocks and bones aren't going to be good for fishing because you are to far away from the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I stand right on the shore and face away from the body of water and that's what gets them to spawn for me. Idk why but that's just the case.
