How to catch Rammfish
Catch Rammfish at a predator fishing spot. Cast into the splash zone in the disturbed water, then retrieve the lure steadily. Rainbow Fin is the common predator bait; Flaming Belly adds trophy chance but costs Jaws and a Lily.
The chase matters as much as the fight. Reel too fast and the predator loses interest; leave the lure still too long and it does the same. Once hooked, oppose each run and reel in the pauses. Its class 3 run reaches 270 speed with 80/s line tension, so short corrections beat one long pull.
Size classes & catch odds
Day and night odds are identical in the demo data; class 3 is the rare trophy roll.
| Class | Weight | Chance | Stamina | Tension | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | 2 – 3 kg | 60% | 100 | 50/s | 230 |
| Class 2 | 4 – 6 kg | 32% | 100 | 65/s | 250 |
| Class 3 | 7 – 9 kg | 8% | 100 | 80/s | 270 |
Higher stamina means a longer fight. Higher tension means the line snaps faster if you keep reeling through a run. Speed is the fish's movement value in the demo data, not a real-world unit.

Where to find Rammfish
Rammfish is tied to wreck fields. The demo data lists 2 habitat spots for this species and marks it as always active.
Use the in-game fishing-spot prompt to confirm the target before casting. Our schematic chart shows the demo's main fishing areas, but it is a route diagram rather than a coordinate-perfect map. If the spot lists a different species, move on instead of emptying your bait bag.
Value & processing
Sale value
1 / kg
Price is per kilogram in the demo build. A class 3 fish is worth substantially more than a class 1 of the same species.
Processing
Grinder → Fish Meat
Sell whole fish when you need cash. Process when a recipe or contract needs the material, especially Chromatic Scales and Jaws.
Field notes
A mutant built like a battering ram. Tension climbs in ugly steps; feather the reel and let the rod do the work. If the meter starts to sing, stop reeling before you think you need to.
