DREADMOOR how to fish: Rods, Bait and Controls

To fish in DREADMOOR, collect the Simple Rod after your first sleep at the Trading Post lodging, equip Earthworm at the introductory fishing spot, and cast toward the splashes. Wait for a bite, pull against the fish's movement to tire it, and reel while keeping Line Tension under control. Finish with the Land Fish interaction when it appears; later catches require different bait and, for Harpooners, a moving lure.

DREADMOOR fuel can: Location and Refueling Guide

In the documented DREADMOOR PC demo, find the Fuel Can in The Throat's nearby working area, carry it to the generator's Fuel tank, and left-click to pour. Right-click drops the can, and starting the generator requires a separate interaction after refueling. These controls and locations describe the demo sequence; their behavior in Early Access has not been tested.
