This game is ironically very shallow. It's a great core experience and I would recommend it to anyone, But you are absolutely going to end up getting tired of the gameplay loop at some point. For me at least it was well after the end of the story mode.

FFT posted:News! Funnily enough I've just finished Dredge and been playing Dave (not with the DLC though). Imo Dredge does what I want from this kind of chill exploration game much better than Dave, despite it's horror and Lovecraftian elements versus Dave's cutesy and relaxing aesthetic. I started out loving Dave but it just can't get out of it's own way; waaaay too many interruptions from the core gameplay loop with increasingly unnecessary additional mechanics, all of which are accompanied by hand-holdy tutorials that rip away control from the player, and the quality of said mechanics continue to fall the further in I get. I just got hit with a second half-baked stealth minigame in the same play session and I think I'm just about done with it now. It's a real shame because the core diving gameplay is great but it's just getting diluted with bullshit.

Just grabbed the DLC, gonna give it a spin later. Any opinions on it so far? Loved the base game, got a lil repeptitive in the end and some of the mechanics were a lil annoying to the point where I would just not use some weapons because of them, but I recall there was a fairly large patch towards the end of the year where a lot of community concerns with mechanics (or the fish farm overall) were adressed, which was after I was already done with the game. Probably gonna start a fresh save, even though I'm assuming the dredge content should tie into my existing save

A friend got me this as a Christmas gift and I just finished it. Enjoyed it very much, very well done Indy game, probably the best indie game of 2023 for me although I didn't play a lot of them. Super chill and relaxing although I'm done with it after story mode and reaching diamond rank, about 35 hours for me. I think I will pick up Dredge and give that a shot based on the same friends recommendation.

I feel... Kinda bad for saying I didn't like it that much, because I can see a lot of work and talent went into it... But it did feel... Kinda repetitive and the management section really did not appeal to me, either.

For the fish farm, is it based on exponential growth? I want to try emptying tje garm save but for a few sharks - but they seem to take forever to reproduce (if at all).

I experimented this with a small red fish from the depths that's hard to get a lot of. I stopped harvesting them with the rest of the section, and they definitely started spawning faster as I collected more and more of them, so there is some exponential growth. But some fish definitely spawn much slower than others, notably larger fish/sharks.

As far as I can tell it is based on size. Anything tuna sized and higher seems to be set for a slow birth rate. One of many reasons why it's best to have your main meals based on small fish. It used to be making produce heavy meals and seaweed heavy meals was a bad idea but they've done a lot to juice your returns for a lot of the shallow water seaweed in particular. These days I'd say it's better to have a recipe you rely on that features a seaweed more than a dish than a large fish.

I'm now on day 14 and the Dredge DLC is nowhere to be seen. I looked up what triggers it, but there have been no foggy days so far, and none coming up in the next three days. Is there some additional prerequisite or event/chapter before foggy days trigger? First replay has been fun so far, especially with all I've learned from the first playthrough. Knowing what staple recipes to go for, what to prioritize with employees and dispatch ingredients (I swear to God, I didn't realize you could do that for half my first playthrough) completely took out the bit of grindiness I was anticipating. But give me the drat Dredge DLC already

You also need the chicken farm, apparently. That's pretty far in.

Dredge DLC adds a dive every ~3 weeks for aberrant fish. You get three different zones to dive in with new fish. Zones are reskins of night dives. Aberrant fish do not count for the Pokémon collection. There’s a new gun that’s really only good for Aberrant fishing. I had steel nets and max drones by the time I got there and could almost empty the map of fish. Fish are used for special sushi (no mixing with produce or condiments) that only the special guests will eat. It seemed to be a 50/50 split of normal to special guests. After the end of the night someone buys the remaining fish, which netted me an extra ~13K gold on top of fish sales (aberrant fish sell for 500-1100 per meat to customers). It was a nice early money boost but nothing special. Good for free DLC

Feel like I'm bouncing off of this so hard. Village of the fetch quests is really ruining what good there is in this.
