Fixing fishing nets

(1/2) > >>

Kreivos:
With yarn being in the game I think it would make sense for the player to be able to fix worn fishing nets, as maintaining and mending one's nets would be a commonplace activity for a fisherman of the period. Yay or nay?

Privateer:
 But then wouldn't nets need to potentially fail more catastrophically? Not just wear, but tear, snag, tangle. Requiring potentially many hours of repairs.

JP_Finn:
Not necessarily Privateer. There’s no catastrophic fur&leather garment breakage either. Yet we can keep them in working order.

Keeping nets in working order would help with hermit style characters that want to minimize human interactions and I think it would add to immersion too.

I think that'd be a good idea. I really don't know enough of the inner mechanics of the game to know how best to go about this, but I wouldn't mind having larger penalties on net condition or having it being tangled due to lack of fishing skills, and being forced to mend and fix them.

PALU:
It seems net maintenance is a significant part of real life net fishing. Remove sea weed and other things tangled into it, mending holes, etc., making net fishing more of an effort than just set net and then pick it up later "for free".
