NEW ITEM: The Fish Smoker
The new Fish Smoker helps you combat fish rot. It functions similarly to the clam but for a much more affordable price.
There are a few key differences between the fish smoker and the clam
The smoker is much more affordable
The smoker requires x number of seconds to smoke a fish instead of requiring the fish to be left over night
The smoker does not give your fish any extra point value.
The smoker can be purchased from the balloon trader instead of the secret shop
Each map has 2-3 spawn locations for fish smokers. If you find them, you can pick them up and bring them back to the cabin.
What does the smoker do?
Based on how long a fish is smoked, rot will be reduced by the given percentage smoked. So if you smoke a fish for half of its full smoking duration, it will have a “smoked” percent of 57. We then plug that into our rot formula.
Let's say we have a 100 point value fish that is not cooked and has a smoked percent of 50… V (new point value) = V (old point value) * (1 - (0.25 * (1 - S / 100)))
S = Smoked percentage
0.25 = 1 - Default Rot of .75
Lets plug in our values… V = 100 * (1 - (0.25 * (1 - 57 / 100)))... V = 89.25 points
Given that the fish was smoked to a percentage of 57, it is now worth 89.25 instead of 75 if it were not smoked at all
How long does it take to smoke a fish?
If a fish has a point value of 10, it will take 10 * 8 seconds to smoke the fish. The total amount of seconds to smoke cannot exceed 360 seconds. This means, regardless of how valuable your fish is, it will never take longer than 360 seconds
It is up to you on how long you would like to smoke your fish. If smoked to 100%, the fish will not incur any penalties from rot, but the smoker will be occupied for a much longer period of time.
Unlike pearls, smoking a fish is not a permanent buff.
Every time the fish undergoes rot (once per day), the smoked percentage will deplete by 3%. This means that if you smoke a fish to 100%, the fish will be considered no longer smoked. If a smoked fish is also cooked, the smoked
