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 what you'll need to gather:

  • 20 Logs: Obtain these by chopping down trees.
  • 10 Copper Ingots: Smelt these from Copper Ore and Charcoal in a furnace.

Before you can access the Supplies Workbench, ensure you've unlocked the Essential Tools under the Crafting section in your Memetics menu. Once at the workbench, press 'F' to add the fishing rod to your crafting queue. The crafting time will be shown on the lower left side of your menu. Upon completion, don't forget to collect your newly crafted fishing rod from the workstation.
