How to Craft a Fishing Rod

To embark on your fishing adventure in Once Human, you'll first need to craft a Fishing Rod at the Supplies Workbench. Here's what you'll need:

  • 20 Logs: Gathered by chopping down trees.
  • 10 Copper Ingots: Smelted from Copper Ore and Charcoal in a furnace.

Ensure you've unlocked the "Essential Tools" under the Crafting section in your Memetics menu to access the Supplies Workbench. Once ready, press 'F' to add the fishing rod to your crafting queue. The time it will take to complete crafting will be displayed on the lower left side of your menu. When it's finished, don't forget to collect your Fishing Rod from the workstation.
