Fish Smoker Unlock and Crafting
熏鱼机解锁与制作
The Fish Smoker is a 1.6 Artisan Equipment machine. Riverland Farm starts with one, while other farms can buy the recipe from Willy and craft it with Hardwood plus Sea, River, and Cave Jelly.
Mechanics / Any fish, 1 Coal, 50 minutes, quality retained
Smoked Fish Rules
熏鱼规则
A Fish Smoker turns any fish plus 1 Coal into Smoked Fish in 50 in-game minutes. The smoked item keeps the original fish quality and doubles the fish's sell value before other profession logic is considered.
Profit / Fisher, Angler, Artisan, and smoked fish value
Profession Math
职业加成计算
Smoked Fish is an Artisan Good, so the Artisan profession can matter alongside fishing value professions. Plan profession choices around whether fish are sold raw, smoked, or used for bundles and cooking.
Materials / Coal bottlenecks, machine count, and fishing day batches
Coal and Throughput Planning
煤炭与产能规划
The Fish Smoker is powerful only when Coal supply and machine count match the fishing route. A heavy fishing day can outpace one smoker, while early saves may be Coal-limited.
Priority / High value, high quality, narrow windows, and bulk catches
Best Fish to Smoke
优先熏制鱼类
Smoke fish when the doubled value beats the Coal opportunity cost. High-value fish, gold or iridium quality catches, legendary-route extras, Lava Eel, Catfish, Sturgeon, Blobfish, and festival catches are stronger targets than cheap common fish.
Requests / Smoked fish stockpiles and 1.6 delivery loops
Raccoon and Request Prep
浣熊与请求准备
Smoked Fish appears in the broader 1.6 request economy. Keep a small reserve for Raccoon-style requests and late-game stockpiles instead of shipping every smoked batch instantly.
Fish Smoker Material Guides
Coal
One Coal per fish makes coal the main operating cost and early bottleneck.
Sea Jelly
Save rare jelly for crafting smokers before spending on lower-priority routes.
River Jelly
Pairs naturally with river fishing routes and Riverland Farm starts.
Cave Jelly
Requires cave-style fishing routes before non-Riverland farms can craft smokers.
Hardwood
Competes with buildings, Mushroom Logs, Raccoon repair, and late-game crafting.
Fish Smoker Priority Guides
Riverland Farm opening
Use the starting smoker to make early fishing income scale before crop space catches up.
High-quality catches
Gold and iridium quality fish keep quality when smoked, making them efficient Coal targets.
High-value fish
Catfish, Sturgeon, Lava Eel, Blobfish, and other expensive fish are stronger than common low-price catches.
Festival fishing
Trout Derby and SquidFest catches can become smoked batches if Coal and machine time are ready.
Request reserves
Keep a few smoked fish for Raccoon and late-game delivery routes before selling every batch.
