How to Fish in Core Keeper

So, you've built your Tin Fishing Rod. Now it's time to use it. Fishing in Core Keeper works in a similar way to other crafting/simulation games. Head to a body of water and click the right mouse button to cast your rod into it.

When the line begins to bob, press the right mouse button again. You'll then enter into a small mini-game where you'll need to reel in the fish without it getting away or breaking the fishing line. Use the right mouse button to slowly reel the fish in.

It can be tricky at first but it'll get easier as your Fishing Skill improves. Keep at it and you'll master it in no time.
