Comfortable Fishing

A RimWorld mod that enhances fishing by allowing pawns to fish from chairs for bonus yield and speed. Works with any chair from any mod!

Features

🪑 Universal Chair Compatibility

• Works with ANY chair from ANY mod - automatically detects chairs using the universal isSittable property
• Future-proof design - no hardcoded chair types, works with modded furniture automatically
• Smart detection - recognizes chairs from vanilla game and all furniture mods

🎣 Fishing Bonuses

• Yield Bonus: Get more fish when fishing from chairs (default +25%)
• Speed Bonus: Fish faster when sitting comfortably (default +15%)
• Configurable multipliers: Adjust bonuses from 1.0x to 2.0x via mod settings
• Balanced gameplay: Modest bonuses that reward setup without being overpowered

🎯 Smart Pawn Behavior

• Chair preference: Pawns automatically prefer chairs when available for fishing
• Zone proximity: Chairs must be adjacent to fishing zones (since they can't be in water)
• Intelligent validation: System checks line of sight, reservations, and accessibility
• Fallback logic: Won't break existing fishing jobs if chairs aren't available

How It Works

Chair Detection

The mod automatically detects when pawns are:

• Sitting on a chair (any building with isSittable = true)
• Fishing from a valid position
• Within configured distance of fishing zones

Bonus Application

• Yield bonuses are applied when fish are caught
• Speed bonuses reduce fishing time
• Alert messages notify you when bonuses are active (optional)

Chair Placement

Since chairs cannot be placed in water:

• Place chairs adjacent to your fishing zones
• Default maximum distance is 2 tiles from fishing zones
• Pawns will automatically choose chair positions when available

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"Pawns won't use chairs for fishing"

• Check if chairs are within max distance of fishing zones
• Ensure chairs aren't forbidden or reserved
• Verify line of sight between chair and fishing spot

"No bonuses being applied"

• Check mod settings - ensure bonuses are enabled
• Verify pawns are actually sitting (not standing next to chairs)
• Make sure chairs are valid for fishing zones

"Mod settings not appearing"

• Restart RimWorld after enabling the mod
• Check mod load order (should load after Core/Odyssey)

Debug Information

Enable "Show Bonus Alert Messages" in settings to see when bonuses are being applied.
