Fishing

Fishing is a game mechanic implemented in Update 0.11.0. It allows players to catch a variety of fish, as well as other items using a Fishing Rod.

Usage
In order to fish, the player must use the Fishing Rod in any body of water that is large enough. When a Fish is biting, bubbles appear, and the bobber sinks into the water for a few seconds. Within that time, if the player pulls up the rod in time, he/she can obtain various items including fish, treasure and junk.
