Oh, you can update the OP to say that it is on CKAN, now. Has been for some time.

Thanks, fixed that.

Say, I do have a bit of a question: could one rack up funds or science for these fish?

You already get funds for them!  No science though.

Everything seems to still be good in 1.1.3

[RocketSquid]

Is there a final verdict as to the eventual inclusion of trawler nets or In-Situ Fish Utilization?

Trawler nets are unlikely unless someone provides parts - even there, not sure what the gameplay mechanic would be since the mod is really about the act of fishing and not the getting of fish.  In-Situ Fish Utilization...  to get experience?  Or funds (you already get those).  Or hook it up to a life support mod?

I was thinking processing fish into resources, such as LF+OX.

If we want to go the other way, with fishing being for sport only, other sports would be cool as well.

RoverDude's ModuleResourceConverter (one of the now-stock bits that originated from Regolith) can easily be set up to convert Fish to anything.  Of course, Fish would need to be added as a resource (config files), and you need parts that can hold the fish resources.  All pretty doable, but all stuff that I unfortunately don't have time for, so anyone who's wanting to do that will have my support.

Other sports are planned (hence the "Kerbal Sports" name).  But that'll be as time permits...

I can handle the fish resource and resource tanks, but I have no idea how to connect that to the current fishing system.

Nice!

Would need some new code.  Difficulty is dependent on exactly what you have in mind.

@nightingale:

Given the content of today's dev announcement, I thought this would be the appropriate venue to say:

'So long, and thanks for all the fish!'

In a rather more serious vein, I would like to add that this was--surprisingly, to me--one of my absolute favourite mods in 1.1.x.  I run every mod you make and as great as they all are, this is the one that puts the biggest smile on my face.  I wish I understood why so I could tell you, but for now I will instead say good luck, and do please continue your excellent work.

Thanks!  In many ways this is my favourite mod of mine too - it let me go completely out of the box.  Sadly I ran out of steam before I was able to get it up to 1.2, but expect an update sometime (I don't want to say "soon" until I'm really back into everything).

It's been a while. Think you could start up development again please? Cuz I want this for when I finally do the To Boldly Go Interstellar Challenge. Also, is the base difficulty of fish on modded planets determined by the planets distance from Kerbin or something else?

I'll probably be looking at this soon (not for at least another couple weeks).  No idea when 1.3 is officially released, but if it comes out before I get to this I'll likely skip the 1.2 update.

The difficulty is based on two things - the gravity of the current body at sea level (relative to the home body) and 1/10th of the splashed science multiplier.  The multiplier the affects stuff like fish weight and speed.  Current depth of water also affects the fish size/type which impacts the difficulty.

So those are the rough factors to know how difficult fishing will be on a given planet in the Interstellar mod.

So, in other words, even though my target is "close" to Kerbin, I'll have a pretty difficult time fishing there. Also, the mod's To Boldly Go, not Interstellar.

[Arsonik]

Is this still working? I'd love to see an update.

[Grand Ship Builder]

Does this work on 1.3?

Just asking.

[linuxgurugamer]

Most likely not. The last time this was working with 41.1, and Nightingale has not posted any updates since.

[nightingale]

Away, old thread warning!

So what's the interest level in my reviving this mod for 1.4.0?  In some ways this is my favourite out of all my mods - but also the one that ended up with the smallest userbase/demand.

I am certainly interested.  In fairness, though, I'm not yet on 1.4 and I won't be until they work out some of the bugs (here's hoping for 1.4.2).

On the other hand, if you released this for 1.4, I think I'd ignore the bugs and get it for the sake of the mod anyway.

MH will bring back a lot of KSP lurkers, this might be a good time to make an update. It will always be small in demand: It's a diversion. We try it, get a good laugh, and go back to messing with rocket parts.

If you went through the extra work of building more gameplay value to the activity, it might grow a little more. But, one Kerbal out fishing shouldn't exceed the benefits of a mobile lab. It 'would be nice' to find a 'rare species' (1 in 20 chance?) that was worth a scaled amount of science points. It could be automatically stored in a nearby command pod or science container. 

I arrived here after looking through the forum post list of mods, and remembered back to the good times noted in the first post.

April 1 is almost upon us!

Haha, I doubt I'll be able to get anything done for April 1st this year...  but the re-release of this mod...  feasible!

Dreams do come true!!!!!!! But I'm using KSP 1.3.1... I won't take it out on you, probably. I'd run though.
