Once Human: Best Fishing Tips & Tricks

Once Human immerses players in a vast multiplayer open-world set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. While chaotic battles against massive server-wide bosses dominate gameplay, tranquil activities like fishing offer rewarding diversions that blend survival mechanics with collection challenges. Whether completing seasonal objectives, securing food supplies, or hunting rare specimens, this guide covers every fishing aspect.

How to Craft a Fishing Rod

Begin your angling adventure by crafting a Fishing Rod at the Supplies Workbench:

• 20 Logs: Harvested by chopping trees
• 10 Copper Ingots: Smelted from Copper Ore and Charcoal

Ensure you've unlocked Essential Tools in your Memetics crafting menu first. Press 'F' to queue rod construction - the completion timer appears bottom-left. Don't forget to retrieve your finished rod!

Optimal Fishing Locations

These prime spots offer superior fishing opportunities:
