Would prefer a minigame, but yes, as it stands autofish is damn near necessary.

With Autofish the kicking should be fixed though. Make it turn you afk after 3min of nonactivity (fishing = active so no afk flag) And after 3 min of AFK you would be kicked. Would be better then this system I think.

How about this: have each fishing session last for only a few seconds, decreasing return/breakage so that total yield per hour is roughly the same. Make it so that fishing in the same square depletes it slightly, and now you have a bit of a game; rotate through a few squares and keep clicking to keep your efficiency high.

Well, I'm just putting it out there. I only suggested it because I figured that it would be more engaging that clicking once and alt-tabbing for a minute or two. I'd be the first to admit that it could very well be annoying. Sheesh...

Encouraging desirable gameplay is better than discouraging undesirable activity. it would be, VERY annoying. Fishing is barely rewarding as it is. Shit for LP and good as noob food only that will eventually overinflate you int bar which bluberries (another nub joke food for that reason).

Fishing just annoys the piss out of me now more than ever because it's the only reliable way to get food before you have crops. The fact that int is entirely useless to newbies makes it even worse. I have been stifling this frustration in hope that newb game will make int actually rewarding by somehow tying in with civ levels to cause increased LP/wyrd gain. As it stands....the newb game is a frustrating compromise of avoiding int foods while trying to stay alive.

I've written code for autofishing now. It will be active after the next server restart.

Will this autofishing work with worms/leeches?
