Let's Raise some Fish!

Start with the Fish Fodder!

Before you put attention on the fish raising facilities, you have to make sure, you can feed the little swimmers. You have two options: buy fish fodder or produce it yourself.

In the beginning, and before you might be fully committed to your fishy endeavor, buying it is quicker and easier. Purchase it pallet-wise at the warehouse.

In the long run, however, it's more efficient to produce by claiming a fish food factory and deliver flour, soybeans, oil to produce the fodder.

The Breeding Facility

Grow Trout & Salmon

In the "Construction" section of the dealership, under “Production Chain”, you’ll find the “Aquaculture” category. Place your fish breeding building wherever it suits you.

Once it’s built, bring your fish food to the designated unloading area right in front. In return, you’ll get young trout and salmon, boxed and ready to ship.

Fish Transport

Where to?

When you got your boxes full of juvenile trout and/or salmon, you'll have two options: either sell them right away and keep the business on solid ground, or go a step further and get your feet wet. Because, the latter option requires you to get out to sea (and make some investments).

To sell the tiny fish, bring them to the fish market. Unload the boxes in the designated area of this spacey storage facility to get paid, and be done with it. Or, deliver them to the cargo ship by either using a forklift and the ramp, or the built-in crane of the vessel.

Aqua Farms

Farming on Water

You’ll find cargo boats for sale at the harbor. When it's loaded up with fish pallets, you need to steer it to those offshore aqua farms out on the sea where they're raised into adult swimmers.

Unload the boxes in the designated area. Deliver fish fodder to the aqua farms as well, and your fish grow fast and steady. Once they’ve grown, the adult salmon and trout will spawn in boxes as well.

Bonus Boat & Pond

Sporty & Nice

Some want to float out onto the sea with style, so the sports boat might be the vessel to fulfil this particular dream of fishing romanticism...

In addition to that, we also added a fishpond that you can buy and place on your land. This allows you to grow fish on a smaller scale. And catch them as well.
