How to Craft a Fishing Rod

To embark on your fishing adventure, you'll first need to craft a Fishing Rod at the Supplies Workbench. Here's the recipe you'll need:

  • 20 Logs: Gather these by chopping down trees.
  • 10 Copper Ingots: These are smelted from Copper Ore and Charcoal in a furnace.

Make sure you've unlocked the Essential Tools 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 duration will appear on the lower left side of your menu. Once it's crafted, don't forget to collect your Fishing Rod from the workstation.
