The Fishing mechanic is the most significant addition to the experience, introducing a whole new way of gathering food. As a part of this mechanic, you can now explore the Fishing Hut and pick up the Fishing Rod for angling purposes. Upon equipping the Fishing Rod, you can approach any water body to see which fish you can catch.

As of this update, there are nine types of fish to catch, providing you with varying degrees of nutrition based on their rarity. You can upgrade the Fishing Rod to improve the odds of catching rarer fish.

There are two new playable Classes for you to unlock using Diamonds: Fisherman and Pyromaniac. Fisherman is geared towards angling and is the cheaper of the two Classes, available for purchase using 50 Diamonds. Pyromaniac, on the other hand, is far more expensive at 600 Diamonds, and is one of the best all-rounder Classes in the game.

Both of these Classes are good at their respective roles, so feel free to try them out if you have the Diamonds to spare.

Here's a quick guide to the Hunter, a Class that specializes in hunting animals to collect food and animal pelts.
