Fish Trap

Fish Trap is an improvised, deployable item used to catch fish. It functions as a passive fishing device: it must be supplied with bait and placed on the surface of water that the game designates as fishable. The Fish Trap is intended to be set directly onto a water surface rather than used like an active fishing tool, and it only operates when both placement and bait conditions are met.

Deployment and basic interaction are straightforward. The trap must be placed on the water surface; it will not activate on dry ground or in water that does not permit fishing. The device requires bait to function, so a bait item must be inserted or combined with the trap before or after deployment depending on the game’s item interface. Once deployed and baited, the Fish Trap is able to catch fish from that water surface until its bait is exhausted or it is retrieved.

Practical notes and strategy:

• Placement: Always deploy the Fish Trap directly on a surface flagged as fishable. Deployment on non-fishable water prevents the device from activating.
• Bait management: The trap will not operate without bait. Keep an adequate supply of bait on hand when planning to use one, and check the trap periodically to replenish bait as needed.
• Use cases: The Fish Trap serves as a passive alternative to active fishing methods. It is suitable for situations where hands-off fish collection is desirable or when the player wants to maintain continuous fishing at a chosen water location.
• Retrieval and relocation: Because the Fish Trap must be deployed on the water surface, retrieve it if you need to move to another fishing spot or to avoid leaving it vulnerable to environmental changes.
• Practical deployment sites: Deploy the trap only where the game allows fishing; unsuitable surfaces prevent operation. Choosing a reliable, repeatable fishable surface maximizes the trap’s usefulness.

Fish Trap is a simple, jury-rigged device whose effectiveness depends entirely on correct placement and the presence of bait. It complements active fishing tools by providing a way to harvest fish without constant player attention, provided the game’s water surface rules are observed and bait is maintained.
