Summary
No Man’s Skyhashad fishing for a little under a week now, and players are already doing some weird and wonderful things with it.
One player tried fishing in a violent storm,with disastrous effect, and now a second player has seemingly managed to cast their fishing line from the planet they’re standing on to one in the distance.
Interplanetary Fishing Baby.
Shared on Reddit, userELuckmanlived up to their lucky name.
Landing on an icy planet, the player exits their ship and pulls out their fishing rod. Seemingly casting it with no clear direction, ELuckman’s line flies through the air, appearing to land on a second planet in the distance.
The line touches down with a splash and can be seen bobbing on the planet which is presumably hundreds of thousands of miles away. Not a bad cast.
There are a couple of prevailing theories on Reddit as to how this happened. The first is that the planet ELuckman landed on had such low gravity that the line flew and flew,leading one player to exclaim"I didn’t even think about low gravity playing a factor into the cast. The devs keep finding new ways to impress me every day."
The second, and more likely theory, isn’t as exciting. A handful of players suggested that it’s merely a graphical bug, and that “The fishing hook isn’t actually on the other planet, it’s like 30 feet in front of him in the air. It’s a matter of perspective.” Whatever it is though, it’s another interesting find inHello Games’never-ending title.
With fishing now firmly in the world of No Man’s Sky, andWorlds Part 2seemingly on the horizon, players have been sharing thefishing-adjacent features they’d like to see in the game— these have included an aquarium or trophy wall to display catches and a better way to drive the exo skiff.
