Starfield Pastoral Fishing
by zuzjak
Starfield Pastoral Fishing makes fishing faster and more generous, with options for automatic casting, bait upkeep and forced catch quality.
What it does
Bite timing can be sped up until fish bite almost at once after the bobber lands, and a master switch controls that bite speed along with a multiplier and a floor. Players can also set how far a cast travels and optionally make casting cost energy, so the pace of a session stays under their control.
The mod adds an auto-cast key that keeps the rod casting until it is turned off, and an auto-collect option can skip the reeling minigame entirely while keeping bait and tackle topped up automatically. Settings can be adjusted in the in-game config screen or by editing the starfieldpastoralfishing-common.toml file directly in the config folder. It requires Starfield Pastoral, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Faster bites
Fish bite sooner after the bobber lands, and a master switch controls bite speed with a multiplier and a floor.
Forced catch quality
A chosen quality can be forced on each catch, and the number of fish landing per catch can be raised.
Automatic reeling
The reeling minigame can be skipped, with catches collected automatically and bait and tackle refilled.
Auto-cast key
A dedicated key keeps the rod casting until it is turned off, and the key itself can be rebound under Controls.
Optional energy cost
Casting can be made to cost energy, a setting that is off by default and can be tuned separately.
