Additional Information[]
- Somewhat confusingly, "Fishing Bait" is the name used by the game for a specific type of consumable.
- Creature Pellets are also referred to as 'bait' in their description. They can be added to a bait box, but are also the only item that can be fed to certain fauna, or added to an Automated Feeder.
- Many foodstuffs can serve double duty as both a high quality lure and a useful consumable. For instance, Icey Marrow, Mucal Doughnuts, and Cake of the Lost all provide Jetpack overloads in addition to their fishing benefits. Conversely, for those seeking large fish, Starpollen Surprise and Creamy Clouds of Nectar provide significant size bonuses and when consumed replenish Hazard Protection and Health, respectively.
