Patch 1.1.3: Fishipedia bait hints

Kill a creature once, then read its bait hint in the in-game Fishipedia when returning for a Drip form. This patch does not publish a full creature roster or drop rates. The Islet Update guide also covers the new content and September 29 radar, Tench and equipment fixes.

Historical co-op landmark: Patch 1.0.4 added official lobbies for up to eight players. It is a dated feature record, not a replacement for the current-build checks.

Release	Official changes	Player-impact check	Guide review focus
Patch 1.1.3 2026-09-29	Fishipedia now displays a creature’s bait name after you have killed it once.	Kill a creature once, then read its bait hint in the in-game Fishipedia when returning for a Drip form. This patch does not publish a full creature roster or drop rates.	Fishipedia · All Fish · Bait & Lures Official announcement
Patch 1.1.2 2026-09-29	Fixed Tench not spawning from the new bait and increased the new bait’s spawn on its mini island from two to three. Enlarged mini-island radar dots and adjusted Wishbone upgrade prices without publishing a price table.	Update before retrying Tench, inspect the larger radar dots for mini islands and check current shop prices before a Wishbone purchase. The bait spawn count is not a catch probability.	Map · Bait & Lures · Fishipedia · Gear Official announcement
Patch 1.1.0 2026-09-28	The Islet Update adds multiple mini islands, more creatures, a mini-boss, a weapon, bait, items, an NPC, achievements and an outfit. Adjusted distances between islands and some sound-effect volumes.	Returning players have new exploration and collection goals. Treat older route diagrams as progression references, and check the 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 fixes before chasing missing catches.	Map · All Fish · Achievements · Gear Official announcement
Patch 1.0.12 2026-09-04	Steam Cloud support, with an initial upload after playing and exiting on PC. Piranha rebalanced and Tuna slightly nerfed; the announcement publishes no numeric values.	Set up Steam Cloud from the PC that holds the save, then re-test Piranha, Tuna and explosive Final Boss tactics without assuming unpublished numbers.	Beginner guide · Piranha Boss · Albatross Boss · Final Boss Official announcement
Patch 1.0.11 2026-09-01	GeForce NOW support and Steam Deck Verified status. Aim, sprint and nametag toggles, plus save checks and backup creation for corrupt saves.	Use the new input options and save protections, but do not treat explosives as safe or plan a purchase around a shop option the patch removed.	Beginner guide · Weapons · Upgrades · Final Boss Official announcement
Patch 1.0.10 2026-08-27	Water now cleans weapons and tools after cooking. Up to 64 dropped ground items persist between sessions, prioritising weapons, tools, quest items and creatures.	Treat important quest items as inventory work, clean used tools in water when needed and retry the Tuna route if an older Albatross guide describes the fixed spawn problem.	Beginner guide · Albatross Boss · Quest-item routes Official announcement
Patch 1.0.4 2026-08-21	Official support for lobbies of up to eight players. Pufferfish and Whale were nerfed without published numeric values.	Use this as the dated source for official eight-player lobbies, then check the current build and the exact join, host, freeze or disconnect symptom instead of treating the historical patch as a universal co-op fix.
