Art Help Needed - How to Make a Harvesting Machine

So, I’m making an incremental game and I need some form of automation. The first main mechanic is fishing…

Basically, if anyone has any ideas on how to make an (ANIMATED!) fishing machine, or really just factory-lookin machine in general, that’d be great.

Thanks so much!

This might help!

Hmm…

could we do gears somehow?

prob not what i think

What props are even faintly machine-y?

There’s… like… plates, i guess? Could make em spin…

Space containers???

i really have no idea

Circle barriers with small rectangles could look like a gear…

oooh, i like it

gonna be terrible to animate, but sounds like that’s what ima start with.

maybe on the body of a barrel, and then something else is feeding in and out of the barrel?

Instead of gears, play into the medival/Renaissance theme and use belts. Two circle barriers and two black poles.

Give me a second to get the picture!

You could use an animated stick to go up and down with a text made to look like a line

Ooh, ok…

How do we make it more machine-y?

lol my plan right now is to do a ‘fish vat’ that duplicates fish (its just a barrel)

Gear emojis!!

They look so silly though lol

don’t fit in at all

There is a tractor prop, you could use that and the bicycle rack.
Also yeah, @WolfTechnology please come and help!

For the plow part, you could used tinted bicycle racks.

I’m having a hard time visualizing, let alone explaining this, so bear with me :pray:

I’m not looking for traditional farming equipment. I’m looking for something clearly machine-y, but unorthodox. Something that melds together and looks normal, but also fits into Gimkit.

The fishing rod moving back and forth was a really good start.
Also, thank you all so much for the help, I really appreciate it

right now, I have a fish vat. it looks like this:

I just need to add the fishing machine and some sort of animation to the barrels
