A worm is a non-perishable Insect food used in fishing and trapping.
Usage
Fishing
- Main article: Fishing
A worm can be used as bait for fishing to catch bass, catfish, crappie, perch, sunfish, trout and pike.
Trapping
- Main article: Trapping
A worm can be used as bait in conjunction with a stick trap to catch small birds.
Consumable properties
Worms can be consumed, providing the player with a small amount of hunger at the cost of a lot of unhappiness. A worm cannot be cooked, unlike other insects.
It is never recommended to consume a worm as the hunger reduced is negligible. It is much more valuable as bait in fishing or trapping.
Distribution
Worms can be found randomly by digging a furrow, regardless of the tile.
Foraging
- Main article: Foraging
When foraging (investigating area), worms can be found on natural_exterior
tiles, such as: grass, sand and gravel. They're most commonly found in farmland areas.
Having the fisherman occupation or angler trait will increase the player's ability to find worms.
Worms are part of the "Animals" loot category.
