Fishing Clarification
[p]We’ve seen reports from players experiencing longlines returning with no fish, even after extended soak times.[/p][p]With the new fishing system introduced in v0.8.6, the optimal soak time is now around 17 in-game hours. After this point, catches will no longer accumulate. Currently, as the gear decay system is not yet fully implemented, fish may disappear from the line if it is left in the water for too long. This is a temporary behaviour until the full system is in place, planned for the upcoming update v0.8.7. [/p][p]Additionally, if you are using an older savegame where gear was deployed before updating to v0.8.6, it will not function with the new fish ecosystem. In these cases, hauling old buoys or lines will often result in no catch. However, once you deploy new gear, the fish ecosystem will work as expected.[/p][p]If you feel that longline catch yields are currently too low compared to net fishing, please keep in mind that the new fish ecosystem has just been introduced with v0.8.6. We will continue to monitor, rebalance catch rates, and adjust the overall economy in upcoming updates.[/p][p][/p]Stability & Savegame Improvements
[p]This patch also addresses several important issues related to savegames and overall stability. We have fixed problems with auto-save not functioning correctly on dedicated servers, as well as an issue where the DedicatedServerSettings.ini file could be repeatedly deleted. If the issue persists, we recommend reinstalling the dedicated server to resolve it.[/p][p]Additionally, a bug that set the time simulation to 0 after upgrading certain savegames has also been fixed.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]Changelog
