Today, the [Aquarius Update](https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/09/aquarius-update/) is free to download for existing players and introduces something we have been tempted to add ever since we stood on the shores of No Man’s Sky’s planets and looked out across their watery expanses - fishing! Full patch notes are available (https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/09/aquarius-update/). Players can now explore the universe to find their perfect waterside spot, hopping with fish - sit and relax alone with their thoughts, or with fellow Travellers looking out over alien vistas waiting for a bite. ##### Fishing Fishing in No Man’s Sky is a uniquely relaxing experience, either alone with your thoughts or with the companionship of others. Grab a rod and your friends (optional!) and set out to explore the universe in the hunt for the perfect fishing spot. The thrill of the catch lies in the fact that you never quite know what you’re going to pull up. The variety of aquatic life ranges vastly from common minnow-like fish to huge alien marine mammals. Catches vary greatly from planet-to-planet and dedicated anglers will have to travel far to find the rarest of fish. ##### Exo-Skiff Venture into the ocean on your deployable Exo-Skiff. This customisable fishing platform floats over the roughest seas and has its own bespoke cold storage inventory, making it the perfect way to hunt for those fish that are only found in deep waters. ##### Explore to find rare catches Travellers who wish to complete their fishing log will have to explore a huge range of different environments and water conditions, as well as crafting specialist bait to attract rare catches and elusive legendary fish… And while you’re waiting patiently to catch a bite, why not dredge for messages in bottles from those that have passed this way before? ##### Automated Fish Traps Research the Automated Trap blueprints and establish your own autonomous floating fish farm to gather in fish while you explore elsewhere. ##### Aquarius Expedition The Aquarius expedition begins today, and will run for approximately six weeks. Go on a quest across the galaxy to catch fish, gather stories, and think about the one that got away… Players who complete the Aquarius expedition will earn a beautifully detailed set of deep-sea customisation parts, including a unique underwater jetpack. ##### New Cooking Recipes Of course, with this new-found ability to farm the lakes, seas and oceans, you will want to develop your cooking skills, with all-new recipes and ingredient combinations out there to be discovered. ##### Fishing Records The Wonders Catalogue now has a dedicated collection of fishing information, detailing the history of all your catches and their weight records, as well as information on how to find each species. ##### Deep-Sea Diving Suit Hardened against the extreme conditions found beneath the waves, this diving suit is the perfect choice for both deep-water exploration and an afternoon's fishing. ##### Aquarius Poster Collection Decorate the walls of your fishing shack with the Sea Chart, Bounty of the Sea and Gone Fishin' posters. ##### Lost Angler’s Rig Complete the Aquarius Expedition to uncover the fishy tale of the Lost Angler and earn the use of their exclusive fishing equipment. ##### Tentacled Figurine A synthetic polymer companion for your starship’s cockpit, fashioned in the likeness of a sea creature. ##### Aquarius Flight Pack Hardened against the extreme conditions found beneath the waves, this jetpack replacement allows for smooth and stylish passage through the murky abyss. ##### Development Update Our last update was “[Worlds Part I](https://www.nomanssky.com/worlds-part-I-update)” just a few weeks ago. It resulted in our biggest player numbers in over 5 years. Eight years in and we feel so lucky to have so many folks still care about this game we love.
