Thanks for every post in the discussions and on Discord. Most of this update comes straight from them.
New
- First time guide. New worlds take you from your first cast to your first boat: catch, sell, buy worms, earn your dinghy and row out to the Lagoon. One short line at a time, and play never stops. Skip or replay it from the pause menu. Worlds you already have keep their boats and skip the guide.
- Cut the line. Hold Jump during a fight to cut the line, then grab your paddle, horn or squirt gun. When a shark comes for your boat mid fight, the fight HUD shows you how.
- Hats stay with you. Fish Log page hats and the gold rod for a finished Fish Log now stay unlocked in every world on your PC, including the ones you earned before this update.
- Gull setting. The host can stop gulls from stealing fish in Settings. They stay around as scenery.
- Keyboard zoom. Z and X zoom the camera. You can rebind them in Settings.
- Map key. C opens the map.
- Cooler. With a cooler on your hotbar, small fish go in it (up to 12) instead of piling up in your arms.
Changes
- Sell your boat's catch right from your seat at the market dock.
- The "park here to sell" sign only shows when you're heading in, then turns into a small icon.
- Gulls steal about a third as often.
- Fish missing from your Fish Log bite more often, and tarpon fight a little softer.
- The shop shows which items get used up.
- New hat banners tell you where to wear the hat.
- The goal chip names your next buy and stops pulsing after a few seconds.
- Rod mount: the seat next to it shows a rod icon, and the description tells you to sit there and cast.
Fixes
- Filling the dinghy to the red line and selling now completes the task. The haul bonus also follows the load gauge, so the red line pays the full 20%.
