Automation Fish Farm

[Bunty]

Hi  

Any chance of automated fish farming   returning to the servers, was one of the things I was really keen on trying only to find out its not a thing any more. Might even cut down the size of my farms  

Thanks for the consideration

Just wondering if the automated fish traps are working correctly , I   popped over to survival and made myself a base and set up 9 traps and they caught a few fish the first few hours but very few since . I have a box full of worms grubs and meat and the traps are full but no real fish ,I have tried hooking them up a few differnt way but still no luck .I also just put one trap down separate to any automation put bait in and kept an eye on it didn't catch any fish in that one .    Also the traps look like they are going off but catching nothing

You cannot fully automate fish farms, due to the fact that you need to OPEN the trap every time a fish lands in there, this resets the trap and allows for another fish to enter. This is a feature of Rust and not RustEZ. Its not a bug its how its intended, however maybe there is a way you dont need to open the trap via a plugin, however thats for the dev team to look at!

 

Hope this helps!

It doesn't hurt to send a bug report because yes it might be normal for native Rust but because EZ has added the ability to pipe to them it may not be the desired outcome EZ was intendeding thus a report doesn't hurt.

This was fixed shortly after you tried on Survival, the original report can be found here;

Noted in bug reports  Here  and  Here, but this problem still seems to persist. Fish traps still seem to require player interaction before additional loot will generate after the initial catch.
