As a seasoned space traveler and avid No Man’s Sky enthusiast, I can’t help but share my insights on the game’s latest additions – the Exo-Skiff and Automated Traps!
In the game “No Man’s Sky,” the Aquarius update now allows players to cast their lines on various watery worlds scattered throughout the cosmos to catch fish. Additionally, this update includes new features such as the Deep-Sea Diving Suit and numerous customization options. Over 160 unique fish species can be found across planets and systems, encouraging players to fish in their quest for a complete collection.
That said, fishing in No Man’s Sky isn’t just throwing your reel toward the water and expecting fish to bite. Today’s guide will go through the many mechanics and items that will assist your fishing efforts, such as Baits, Automated Traps, the Exo-Skiff, and more.
How to Get and Use the Fishing Rig in No Man’s Sky
1″ milestone during Phase 1. This will provide you with the blueprints for the Fishing Rig early in your journey. To construct it, gather these materials:
- 3x Carbon Nanotubes: Build one by using 50x Carbon.
- 1x Di-hydrogen Jelly: Use 40x Di-hydrogen or use Refiner to refine 30x Di-hydrogen.
- 60x Chromatic Metal: Refine 2x Copper, 1x Cadmium, 2x Emeril, or 2x Indium per Chromatic Metal unit.
After obtaining your Fishing Rig, the next step is to actually go fishing. Find a system boasting water planets, then head towards the shoreline or your starship’s rooftop – once you’ve installed the Aqua-Jets upgrade for water landings. With your Multi-tool in hand, select the Reel by cycling through its options and cast it into the water. The type of fish attracted to your hook will vary based on your angling skills or how far you’ve thrown the line. Once the line turns green, activate the Reel again and repeatedly press the assigned button to reel in the catch from the water’s surface.
How to Use Bait to Fish in No Man’s Sky
Discovering an unusual, scarce, or mythical fish in No Man’s Sky may require a significant amount of patience if you only rely on your Reel. Once you buy the Fishing Rig at the Space Anomaly or accomplish the Message in a Bottle milestone in the Aquarius Expedition, however, you will gain access to various base baits that can enhance your fishing skills by boosting fish rarity and scale chances, as well as providing additional advantages shown below.
| Bait | Units per Craft | Materials | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mealworms | 20 |
| Catch Rarity Improvement: 20% Catch Size Improvement: 2% Other Notes: None |
| Spicy Chum | 20 |
| Catch Rarity Improvement: 54% Catch Size Improvement: 2% Other Notes: None |
| Bionic Lure | 20 |
| Catch Rarity Improvement: 64% Catch Size Improvement: 2% Other Notes: None |
| Magpulse Lure | 20 |
| Catch Rarity Improvement: 24% Catch Size Improvement: 2% Other Notes: Attracts storm-loving fish. |
| Dangling Orb | 20 |
| Catch Rarity Improvement: 24% Catch Size Improvement: 2% Other Notes: Attracts diurnal fish. |
| Shadow Lure | 20 |
| Catch Rarity Improvement: 24% Catch Size Improvement: 2% Other Notes: Attracts nocturnal fish. |
In No Man’s Sky, there are several alternatives to use as bait, like other sea creatures or even fish. However, if you want more advanced options, you can utilize the Nutrient Processor to prepare these marine life forms into intricate dishes. These meals can sometimes give significantly higher bonuses, which will be useful when trying to catch rare fish like those required for the Scales of Fire milestone.
How to Get and Use the Exo-Skiff in No Man’s Sky
Obtaining the Exo-Skiff – an oceanic platform summonable at sea – follows a method much like the Fishing Rig. You can either access it by visiting the Space Anomaly and parting with 90 Nanites, or by achieving the ‘Freedom of the Sea’ milestone during Phase 2 of the Aquarius Expedition. Once unlocked, you can craft it using these materials:
- 120x Magnetised Ferrite: Refine Pure Ferrite.
- 30x Salt: Collect it from underwater minerals. You can also refine the following materials:
- 1x Chlorine.
- 1x Di-hydrogen + 1x Oxygen.
- 2x Crystal Sulphide: Found in underwater flora.
In the game ‘No Man’s Sky’, here’s an easy guide on how to call your Exo-Skiff:
How to Get and Use Automated Traps in No Man’s Sky
Finally, you can also make use of Automated Traps in No Man’s Sky to get fish without the hassle of actually using baits or the Fishing Rig. Spend one Salvaged Data at the Construction Research Station in the Space Anomaly or complete the Tales of the Waves milestone to get the Automated Traps plans. Then, use your Build Menu, select the Automated Trap, and position it on the water. Leave the Automated Trap on its own, and it will eventually catch up to four different fish. To build it, you need to gather the following materials:
- 50x Salt: Found in underwater minerals. You can also refine the following materials:
- 1x Chlorine
- 1x Di-hydrogen + 1x Oxygen
- 3x Metal Plating.
- 1x Ion Battery.
