Easy Fishing

Spend more time fishing and less time fighting heavy resistance or waiting for a spot to return.

Easy Fishing keeps Palworld's normal fishing minigame and rewards intact while making the full catch loop more relaxed. Fish resistance is reduced, long fishing-spot respawns are capped at one minute, and harder catches no longer multiply rod durability loss above the normal rate.

Features

• Easier catches: Fish resistance is reduced to 35% of its vanilla value by default.
• Faster fishing-spot respawns: Common and rare spots return in no more than 60 seconds.
• Fair rod wear: Harder spots no longer apply the vanilla 2x or 4x durability-loss multiplier; wear is capped at the normal 1x rate.
• Already-loaded world support: The mod also adjusts active fishing spots and respawn timers when it loads into an existing session.
• Configurable: Change the resistance multiplier, respawn cap, durability behavior, or logging in Scripts/config.lua.
• Code only: No pak, cooked Blueprint, or replacement game asset is included.

What Easy Fishing Does Not Change

• Fish rewards or loot
• Bait consumption
• Rod base stats
• Fishing-spot loot tables
• Pal rarity
• Save files or inventory data
• The normal reeling minigame

Requirements

• Palworld 1.0
• A Palworld-compatible UE4SS build

Automatic Installation

Choose Install on PalMods. The Info.json package includes separate Lua rules for clients and Windows dedicated servers, and installs the mod into UE4SS's isolated EasyFishing folder.

For multiplayer, install Easy Fishing on the Windows server and on every participating client. This keeps the server-authoritative fishing-spot state and each player's local catch minigame on the same settings.

Pocketpair's current package contract does not provide a Linux dedicated-server target.

Manual Installation

Automatic installation is recommended for this package format. For a manual Steam or Windows dedicated-server installation:

1. Install a Palworld-compatible UE4SS build.
2. Create Pal/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/EasyFishing/ in the game or server installation.
3. Copy the archive's Scripts folder into that directory.
4. Confirm these files exist:

• Pal/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/EasyFishing/Scripts/main.lua
• Pal/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/EasyFishing/Scripts/config.lua

1. Make sure EasyFishing : 1 is enabled in UE4SS's Mods/mods.txt, then restart the game or server.

Game Pass/Xbox PC users should use PalMods automatic installation so the correct protected-game path is selected.

Configuration

Close the game or server, then edit Scripts/config.lua inside the installed EasyFishing folder.

• fish_resistance_multiplier = 0.35 — lower values make catches easier; 1.0 restores vanilla resistance.
• maximum_respawn_seconds = 60.0 — sets the longest fishing-spot respawn.
• normalize_durability_loss = true — enables the hard-spot rod-wear cap.
• maximum_durability_loss = 1.0 — sets the maximum per-catch durability multiplier.
• verbose_logging = false — enables additional activity messages in UE4SS.log.

Restart the game or server after changing the configuration.

Compatibility

Do not combine Easy Fishing with another pak, PalSchema package, or Lua mod that changes DT_PalFishingSpotLotteryDataTable or DT_PalFishingSpotLotteryNameDataTable.
