# Fishing Sim

After 5 years, **dirk\_fishing v2** has been completely rewritten from the ground up. Almost nothing from v1 survives — this is a brand new resource that happens to share the same name.

***

## Highlights

* **Aim → cast → fight** loop with a live reticle, casting minigame and Stardew-style bar-catch fight.
* **32 fish species** — every single one has a bespoke 3D model (no reused props), with realistic in-hand sizing and rarity tiers.
* **13 rods, 14 reels, 14 lines, 24 hooks, 12 weights and 20+ baits**, all editable live.
* **Fishing zones, grid-based populations and a Fish Finder** tablet that scans nearby waters.
* **Interactive Guidebook** — six tabs covering overview, collection, equipment, map, leaderboards and tournaments.
* **Daily Challenges** — randomised objectives that reset every 24 hours.
* **Traps (Crab Pots)** — passive baited pots with surface buoys, rope-pull minigame and stale-trap auto-expiry.
* **Bait digging and fish gutting**.
* **Equipment shops, fish markets and a dedicated bait market** — fully built-in, no external store dependency.
* **Live Script Configurator** — every fish, zone, permit, shop, tool and player level edited in-game with undo/redo and an audit log. No SQL, no Lua config edits, no resource restart.
