## About The Pull Request This more or less ties with my previous PR where I fix some of the issues I've seen with fishing, because both are the result of some live playtesting in which I assessed some flaws and nits. So, let's get started: Lowered the number of fish to scan for each fish scanning experiment: This is the most time-gating feature of fishing. As a scientist you're usually better off doing anything else than this anyway, which is understandable, but for whoever else that plans to get some nice ocean fish, this is going to be a huge bummer. From 4, 8, 14, 21 to 3, 7, 11, 17. Switched the ocean and chasm portal setting: Right now, the ocean portal has the largest amount of catchable creatures, which can also help progress the experiments, while the chasm setting only has two and is only mildly useful for chasm chrabs --> lobstrosities (which suffer a bit from not having a good enough AI right now). I hope I'll have the time to add some late fishes to the chasm setting at some point. Added a premapped fishing portal generator to the common service room of every map: It takes quite some time to setup fishing. Making a fishing portal is by far what I consider to be the most tedious part. Also Wawa and Birdshot were also missing the aquarium kit. On a side-note I realized some days ago that service jobs receive very good discounts on the fishing items sold by the good clean vendor. Added the fish puns speech modifier to fish-infused gills: I forgot to do it when I made the PR. Shrimple as that. Mild fish infusion tweaks: Lowered the crawling speed very sightly, but buffed showers and water healing slightly. Drinking water now wets you by about 1/4 of what splashing it would do. Buffed fishing difficulty modifiers for items and chairs a little: For the time and credits invested, buying a carp costume or whatever to be slightly better at fishing doesn't seem that profitable, and I reckon I was being a bit conservative with the values. Fishing is a considerable time investment already, especially in the initial stage with the setup. Also idk why sunglasses and thermals buff fishing while fish are technically cold-blooded creatures so I removed the comp from them. Added fishing rods and fish cases designs to cargo and science lathes: Other base fishing designs are shared between the three departments, while these two are only available for service (and autolathes obviously). Fishing skill now affects completion gain and not only completion loss: Fishing as a feature has a slower pace than most things in the game. It feels right that by the time you reach about legendary level, you get to complete the minigame a bit faster. ## Why It's Good For The Game To put it briefly, the feature feels right as a casual experience, however time is very much against you and getting something done takes some effort (especially on tram, where moving to and fro' departments is almost like playing froggers at times) ## Changelog 🆑 map: Added a premapped fishing portal generator to every map. balance: Lowered the requirements for fish scanning experiment. Swapped the rewards of the second and third experiments. balance: Buffed fishing difficulty modifiers for several items and chairs. balance: Fishing skill now affects completion speed of the minigame more actively. balance: Mild fish infusion tweaks. Crawling is a smidge slower, but healing from showers and drank water is a bit better. qol: Fishing rods and fish cases can now be printed by cargo and science lathes. add: Gills now give the fish puns speech modifier. /🆑
