I put 50 Handfuls of Insects into the traps (6 traps, 10 each). My total haul was only a total of 25 fish. It was always a guaranteed fish before for each handful of insects. Did they change it? Or could I have a mod interfering with it somehow? I didn’t mind the passive fish catching being taken aw…
