Fishing Trawlers

,

Oh look another water suggestion. Fishing has already been a suggestion and possibly confirmed for V3, but what if there was dedicated fishing vessels which if used by businesses, could haul in twice or maybe even triple the amount of fish someone would get on a normal personal boat.

Members of the Coast Guard could carry out regular inspections of these vessels ensuring the correct safety procedures are being carried out. Additionally there could be regulations from the Department of Boating and Waterways to limit the amount of fish that can be hauled at any given fishing run. If for example the Coast Guard or DOBW catch a vessel going over the maximum amount, they could face fines or punishments from the DOBW.

After each haul, they would return to the docks and go to sell their fish. What could be interesting to see is them is gutting and packing the fish (if possessing a knife they have the option to gut a fish) then can go to a fish market or another store to sell the fish for money.

This means that civilians can actually make a profit without sitting doing fuck all bored out of their minds. The fishing businesses could even sell the fish off to a transportation business who can do deliveries. This would mean businesses can partner up with each other or become rivals.

Fishing hotspots can become a thing, fish in a certain area and you will have a multiplier of fish you can haul. There can also be areas determined by DOBW which are illegal to fish. You could get more fish in those areas but since it is a protected area, it could be seen as fishing illegally and you could be fined by CG.

Did a v2 tag in this since it could be put in V2 as development seems to have still continued in it, this would revive the waters and would immediately attract the attention of legal civilians to be able to buy a boat and a rod and some bait then make a profit from fishing. They would have to, after fishing, go to a store in order to sell the fish from their inventory.

It could then allow DOBW to start working on fishing restrictions and CG to start enforcing those restrictions.

Sorry I keep adding on last minute, for V2 you don’t even need fishing trawlers (could be something a business could request). All there needs to be is a fishing rod and a fishing script and an ability to sell the fish off to a business man in another area of the map (please not Redwood holy shit we need to populate other areas of the map)

Fishing should absolutely be a thing in v2 as a start in giving citizens something to do in the game. It should be pretty easy to add as well considering boats are already in-game.
