Fishing
Solarpunk fishing hub for Fishing Rod, Magnetic Fisher, water routes, food support, machine automation, and deciding when fishing belongs in the base loop.
Fishing is a route decision. If manual fishing is taking time away from farming, building, or airship trips, check whether the Magnetic Fisher and your food setup solve the same need more cleanly.

When Fishing Is Worth It
| Situation | Best Move |
|---|---|
| You need simple food variety | Try Fishing Rod routes, then compare against crop meals. |
| Manual gathering is repetitive | Check Magnetic Fisher and power requirements. |
| Food is already stable | Treat fishing as optional completion, variety, or automation cleanup instead of a core survival bottleneck. |
| Power is unstable | Fix Energy and Automation before adding another powered consumer. |
Base Placement
If you fish often, keep water access, food storage, cooking, and return storage close enough that fishing does not create a second messy item pile far from the kitchen or research chest.
