Termites are an insect and non-perishable food item.

Usage

Fishing

Main article: Fishing

Termites can technically be used as bait for fishing. However, current fish only respond to bait fish, worm, cricket, grasshopper, cockroach, and maggot as bait, so doing so is not advised.

Consumable properties

Termites can be consumed, reducing hunger at the cost of a lot of unhappiness. They can be cooked. However, the unhappiness effect will remain and there is no corresponding gain in nutrition.

Location

Foraging

Main article: Foraging

When foraging, termites can be found on certain natural_exterior tiles, such as grass, sand, or gravel, and are more likely to be found at night. They are equally common in all foraging terrains.

Termites can be found in all seasons but Winter, March through November. However, while forageable in Spring, they are less likely to be found in March and April than in other months.

Termites are part of the "Animals" loot category, and can be found at tier 0 foraging skill. Having the fisherman occupation or angler trait will increase the player's ability to find termites.
