How to Craft a Fishing Rod
To start your fishing journey, you’ll need to craft a Fishing Rod using the Supplies Workbench. Here's what you'll need:
- 20 Logs: Obtain by chopping down trees.
- 10 Copper Ingots: Smelt from Copper Ore and Charcoal in a furnace.
Before crafting, ensure you’ve unlocked the “Essential Tools” category under the Crafting section in your Memetics menu to access the Supplies Workbench. Once ready, press 'F' to add the Fishing Rod to your crafting queue. The crafting time will be displayed at the bottom-left corner of your screen. When it’s done, remember to collect it from the workstation.
Best Fishing Locations in Once Human
Some spots across the wasteland offer better fishing opportunities than others. Here are the top locations to cast your line:
- Wild Dog Isle: Home to a wide variety of fish species.
- Brookham Dock: A popular spot with frequent and reliable catches.
- Harborside Bridge: Offers both freshwater and saltwater fish varieties.
- Greywater Camp: A quiet location with diverse aquatic life.

How to Store Your Caught Fish
Like other perishables in the game, fish have a limited shelf life. Fortunately, there are several ways to preserve them and extend their usability:
- Refrigerator: Slows spoilage and keeps fish fresh for several in-game days.
- Meat Drier: Dries the fish, effectively preserving it indefinitely.
- Specimen Rack: Displays the fish while keeping it fresh and edible. Note: Only one specimen can be mounted at a time.
- Fish Tank: Holds up to four fish at once, depending on their size—perfect for collectors.
