5.10 Patch Notes
- Players can now install a Fishing Rig in their Multi-Tool, enabling them to cast their line into any body of water and begin fishing. Purchase Fishing Rig blueprints aboard the Space Anomaly.

- Your catch history, including weight records, is recorded in the new Fishing section of the Wonders catalogue.
- Craft specialist bait and apply it to your Fishing Rig to lure in specific fish.
- In addition, any edible item can be deployed as bait. Experiment with different cooked products to find the most effective bait for your fishing feeds.
- A large range of new seafood recipes have been added for the Nutrient Processor.
- Those who do not wish to consume or sell their catch may release their fish back into the water.
- Occasionally, inanimate objects may be retrieved from the water instead of fish. Such objects include procedurally generated messages in bottles and water-damaged technology upgrades.
- Automated Traps are available to research in the Space Anomaly. These self-sustaining units are an alternative to manual angling, and will attract fish as appropriate for the water conditions in which they are placed.
- The Exo-Skiff is a new piece of deployable technology, summoned from the Quick Menu after its interface is installed in the Exosuit. Research the appropriate blueprints aboard the Space Anomaly.
