First check whether your missing fish matches this report
In the September 28 Fishipedia discussion, multiple players describe a 61/62 display, a missing entry in the Euro fish section and no catch of its ordinary form. A reply identifies the slot as between Char and Mahi-Mahi, with a rounded-stomach silhouette.
A separate New fish bugged? discussion describes the same position after a long session using the new bait. Its author connects it to a crab-carcass catch pool. That is the player’s interpretation of the menu, not a confirmed bait table published by Dazed Games.
If your missing entry is somewhere else, do not automatically assign it the same cause. Photograph the actual in-game page, including neighboring entries and whether you are viewing ordinary or Drip progress. A similar total can hide a different missing creature.
What the evidence does, and does not, show
| Observation | What it supports | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Several matching player reports | A repeated problem worth comparing. | A single known cause for every save. |
| Long fishing sessions without the entry | The reported attempts did not obtain it. | A numerical rarity, guaranteed attempt count or hidden pity system. |
| An author says an ID is absent from their save | A claim about that author’s inspection. | That the full game lacks the creature or that editing a save will solve it. |
| 1.1.0 announces more creatures | The pre-update catalog is incomplete for the new content. | A full named roster or a confirmed 62-creature requirement. |
The official 1.1.0 notes do not name this issue, and the reviewed discussions contain no developer-confirmed fix. This page therefore does not label the slot “unobtainable,” assign a guessed name, or promise that a particular bait will recover it.
Safe checks before spending another long session
- Preserve the current campaign. Keep a separate backup before changing a mod setup or testing another device. Do not delete profile or achievement data.
- Record the installed build. Match host and guest update states. A September 28 post is not evidence that your particular session uses the same build.
- Compare the exact menu position. Note the section, adjacent fish, silhouette and both ordinary and Drip entries. Keep a screenshot of the displayed count.
- Record your actual setup. Note the rod, bait, location or landmark, session role and any mods. Describe what you used, not what the menu seemed to imply.
- Check a real follow-up before a destructive test. A new official patch needs to identify the relevant change; an edited wiki date alone is not a repair.
Switching to an unmodded comparison can help separate environments, but it is an editorial diagnostic step, not a verified remedy for this slot. Protect the original save and record manually installed loaders as well as mod-manager profiles.
Collector, Fishipedia and ordinary catches are different checks
The official achievement text distinguishes Collector from Fishipedia: the latter concerns Drip creatures. A player missing both forms cannot safely conclude that the ordinary fish was already registered just because the Drip checklist is almost complete.
The wiki’s 50-entry fish tracker is the documented pre-Islet subset; it stores your marks in this browser. It neither reads Steam nor knows the exact missing slot in your save. Keep existing marks as useful notes, but compare new content against the game itself and the updated 31-achievement list.
Information that makes a report useful
Include the game build, platform, host or guest role, ordinary and Drip counts, the two adjacent fish names, your rod and bait, the location you tried and whether the setup is modded. A screenshot of the actual slot is more precise than “the last fish.”
Use the game’s Steam discussion board or the developer-pinned community entry point. Redact personal file paths and invitation details. Do not publish an entire unreviewed save or download a replacement save from an untrusted reply as a first troubleshooting step.
Frequently asked questions
Is the fish between Char and Mahi-Mahi confirmed unobtainable?
No. The reviewed player reports establish a recurring missing-slot complaint, not a demonstrated game-wide impossibility. One author says they found no corresponding ID in their save, but absence from one save is not a complete audit of game definitions.
Does Fishipedia require ordinary fish or Drip creatures?
Steam describes Fishipedia as finding and killing all Drip creatures. Collector has the separate condition of finding and killing all creatures. Compare the ordinary and Drip entries in the game rather than treating one browser checklist total as both requirements.
Does the wiki’s 50-entry tracker cover all 1.1.0 creatures?
No. It preserves 50 documented pre-Islet creatures and bosses. The official update adds creatures, but does not publish their complete names or count. The player-reported 61/62 display is not used here to invent twelve new database rows.
Should I restart my save or keep fishing until it appears?
Neither is a verified solution to this report. Preserve your save, confirm the game version and the exact slot, and check for an official follow-up. No guaranteed catch count, pity threshold or universal reset fix was found in the reviewed material.
