Tackle

The fishing tackle system allows players to enhance their fishing experience with various accessories that modify minigame difficulty and catch rates.

Tackle Configuration

Each tackle type is defined as an entry in the list table with a unique identifier key:

list = {
    bobber = {
        label = 'Basic Bobber',
        description = 'Improves bite detection and helps stabilize your fishing line.',
        tier = 1,

list.[tackleName].minigameModifiers.catchDurationnumber
Multiplier for how long a fish stays in the catch zone. Values below 1.0 reduce duration (easier), values above 1.0 increase duration (harder).
list.[tackleName].minigameModifiers.progressDecaynumber
Multiplier for how quickly the catch progress bar decays. Values below 1.0 reduce decay rate (easier), values above 1.0 increase decay rate (harder).
list.[tackleName].minigameModifiers.totalTimenumber
Multiplier for the total time available for the minigame. Values above 1.0 increase available time (easier), values below 1.0 decrease available time (harder).
list.[tackleName].minigameModifiers.catchRatenumber

list.[tackleName].rarityModifier.legendarynumber
Multiplier for catching legendary fish. Values above 1.0 increase chances, values below 1.0 decrease chances.
list.[tackleName].rarityModifier.treasurenumber
