I'm starting to explorer early game again and something that always comes up early game~ fishing.
Now fishing early game is normally the best way to get some quick int, then you make a bow and never fish again cuz the time consuming fishing is- just that time consuming.
ground stakes/ rod holder are a real life way to idle fish.
I typically catch catfish when I go fishing. but I rarely actively fish by standing at my rod.
I normally set up 4 rods~ catch about 1 catfish~ sometimes bass- each rod per half hour.
After 4 hours I have the fish I need for the rest of my cottage weekend for w/e party I'm having.
I think the same thing should be in haven and hearth. "ground stake/rod holder" were someone can setup rods along the water and catch 1 fish every 10-30mins with bait.
The rod would bob to indicate their is a fish on the line.
Have I ever lost a rod~ no but I do normally lose bait once every few catchs- and I have very rarely had fish snap my line.
the fish don't even typically pull that hard- my first rod holders were not even stuck into the ground they were off a dock. but now I found the sweet spot for catfish so ~ yeah they are grounded.
