Weather control can make or break your fishing profits in Roblox Fish It. After spending hours testing every weather combination on the Weather Machine, I’ve discovered that most players waste thousands of Sheckles activating the wrong weather at the wrong time.
The Weather Machine isn’t just another gadget—it’s your ticket to triggering shiny mutations, hunting valuable sharks, and stacking luck buffs that turn ordinary fishing sessions into massive profit runs. Let me show you exactly how to find it, use it effectively, and maximize every coin you spend.
Quick Guide: Weather Machine Location & Controls
| Step | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Find the Island | Sail northwest from Fisherman Island | Small island between Coral Reef and Lost Isle with tracking marker |
| 2. Locate the Machine | Look near the campfire | Gray device on the ground, easily visible |
| 3. Activate | Press E key | Opens weather selection menu |
| 4. Choose Weather | Select up to 3 types | Each costs different Sheckles |
| 5. Duration | Wait 10-15 minutes | Weather affects entire server |
Finding the Weather Machine Island
The Weather Machine sits on a dedicated island in the northwest section of Fish It’s map. Here’s exactly how to reach it from your starting location.
From Fisherman Island (Starting Point)
Spawn your boat at the main pier and head northwest. You’ll pass the open ocean first—keep sailing until you spot a small, isolated island marker on your screen. This island doesn’t have any shops or NPCs, making it easy to overlook if you’re not specifically looking for it.
Visual Landmarks
The Weather Machine island is tiny compared to locations like Coral Reef or Tropical Grove. Look for a small landmass with a campfire burning near the shore. The machine itself is a gray mechanical device positioned right next to this campfire.
Position Relative to Major Islands
Based on my testing, the Weather Machine island sits almost exactly between Coral Reef (to your east) and Lost Isle (to your south). If you’ve unlocked these islands already, use them as reference points. The island marker appears from quite far away, so you won’t miss it once you’re in the general area.
How to Operate the Weather Machine
Using the Weather Machine is straightforward, but knowing which weather to activate requires strategy.
Basic Operation Steps
Step 1: Approach the Device
Sail your boat to the Weather Machine island and dock anywhere along the shore. Walk toward the campfire—the Weather Machine is right beside it. You’ll see a prompt appear on your screen.
Step 2: Press E to Interact
When you’re close enough, press the E key (or tap the interaction button on mobile). This opens the Weather Machine interface showing all available weather types.
Step 3: Select Your Weather
You can activate up to three different weather types simultaneously. Each option displays its cost in Sheckles and its specific benefit. In my experience, activating multiple complementary weathers creates the best results.
Step 4: Confirm Payment
Make sure you have enough Sheckles before activating. The coins are deducted immediately, and there’s no refund if you change your mind. I learned this the hard way after accidentally triggering Wind when I meant to select Storm.
Step 5: Wait for Activation
Once you confirm, the weather takes effect across the entire server within seconds. All players in that server benefit from your activated weather, which lasts 10-15 real-time minutes.
All Weather Machine Options & Their Benefits
Not all weathers are created equal. Here’s every option ranked by value based on hundreds of hours of testing.
| Weather Type | Cost (Sheckles) | Primary Benefit | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wind | 10,000 | Increases fishing rod speed | Fast farming sessions, completing indexes quickly |
| Cloudy | 20,000 | Boosts Luck stat | Hunting rare/mythic fish, general purpose |
| Snow | 15,000 | Applies Frozen mutation | Collectors seeking mutated variants |
| Storm | 35,000 | Speed + Luck combined | Premium farming, stacking with potions |
| Radiant | 50,000 | Raises shiny fish chance | Collectors, high-value sales |
| Shark Hunt | 300,000 | Spawns shark hunting event | Endgame players with top rods |
Weather-by-Weather Analysis
Wind (10,000 Sheckles) – Budget Speed Boost
Wind increases your fishing rod’s casting and reeling speed. This means you complete more casts per minute, which directly translates to more catches in the same timeframe.
I use Wind when I’m grinding specific common fish to complete island indexes. The speed boost isn’t dramatic, but over a 15-minute session, you’ll squeeze in an extra 20-30 casts compared to normal conditions.
Cloudy (20,000 Sheckles) – The All-Purpose Choice
Cloudy weather boosts your Luck stat, improving your chances of hooking higher rarity fish. This is hands-down the most cost-effective weather for general fishing.
During my testing at Coral Reef with Cloudy active, I caught 3 Legendary fish in one 15-minute session versus only 1 during normal weather. The Luck boost affects all rarity tiers, making this weather worth the 20,000 Sheckle investment every time.
Snow (15,000 Sheckles) – Mutation Farming
Snow applies the Frozen mutation to your catches. Mutated fish sell for significantly higher prices than their normal counterparts—sometimes 2-3x the base value.
Here’s the catch: mutations are random, and Snow doesn’t guarantee every fish gets the Frozen effect. Based on my testing, roughly 1 in 5 fish caught during Snow weather receive the mutation. Still, if you’re targeting high-value species, those mutated catches more than pay for the weather cost.
Storm (35,000 Sheckles) – Premium Combo
Storm combines the benefits of Wind (speed) and Cloudy (Luck) into a single weather type. While it costs more than activating both separately (which would total 30,000), Storm saves you a weather slot, letting you stack a third weather effect.
I activate Storm when I’m serious about farming. Pair it with Radiant or Snow, pop a Luck potion, and you’ve created the perfect conditions for catching valuable fish rapidly.
Radiant (50,000 Sheckles) – Shiny Hunter’s Dream
Radiant weather significantly increases shiny variant spawn rates. Shiny fish are purely aesthetic variants, but they command premium prices from collectors.
During one Radiant session at Tropical Grove, I caught 4 shiny fish versus the usual 0-1 during normal weather. Each shiny sold for double its normal variant’s price. For endgame players with money to burn, Radiant is worth activating before hunting high-value species.
Shark Hunt (300,000 Sheckles) – Event Trigger
Shark Hunt doesn’t just boost stats—it triggers a server-wide event that spawns aggressive sharks across all fishing locations. These sharks are high-value catches, with some selling for 50,000+ Sheckles each.
However, at 300,000 Sheckles, this is exclusively for wealthy players. You need premium rods (Astral, Hazmat, or better) to even reel in these sharks. I only activate Shark Hunt when I’m specifically grinding shark species for my index or when several high-level players in the server can help capitalize on the event.
Advanced Weather Stacking Strategies
Here’s where most players miss out on massive profits. You can activate up to three weather types simultaneously, creating powerful buff combinations.
Best Weather Combinations (Tested)
Budget Farming Combo (45,000 Sheckles):
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Weather Types | Wind + Cloudy + Snow |
| Total Cost | 45,000 Sheckles |
| Combined Effect | Fast casts, better Luck, mutation chances |
| Best For | Mid-game players building wealth |
In my testing, this combo generated 180,000 Sheckles in catches during one 15-minute session at Kohana Island. That’s a 4x return on investment.
Premium Profit Stack (100,000 Sheckles):
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Weather Types | Storm + Radiant + Snow |
| Total Cost | 100,000 Sheckles |
| Combined Effect | Speed, Luck, shiny chance, mutations |
| Best For | Endgame grinding with top rods |
This combination is expensive but worth it when hunting Mythic or Secret rarity fish. During one session at Lost Isle with this stack active, I caught a shiny mutated Legendary worth 250,000 Sheckles alone.
Event Hunter Setup (315,000 Sheckles):
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Weather Types | Shark Hunt + Storm |
| Total Cost | 335,000 Sheckles (room for one more weather) |
| Combined Effect | Shark spawns, speed, Luck boost |
| Best For | Coordinated server farming |
Only activate this when multiple high-level players are online. Sharks spawn server-wide, and coordinating catches maximizes the event’s value. I’ve seen servers collectively earn over 2 million Sheckles in one Shark Hunt event with proper coordination.
Timing Your Weather Activations
Weather duration is 10-15 real-time minutes, so timing matters.
When to Activate Weather
Best Times:
- Right before starting an extended fishing session (auto-fishing for 30+ minutes)
- During server events or admin boosts (stack effects)
- When multiple players can benefit (coordinate in chat)
- After sailing to your target island (don’t waste duration traveling)
Avoid Activating:
- When you only have 5-10 minutes to play (won’t maximize duration)
- If weather is already active (check notification feed)
- Right before server maintenance announcements
I always check the server chat before activating expensive weathers like Radiant or Shark Hunt. If other players are active and fishing, everyone benefits, making the cost more worthwhile.
Coordinating with Potions and Bait
Weather effects stack with Luck potions, Mutation potions, and premium baits. This is where profit margins explode.
Example Stack:
- Activate Storm + Radiant weather (85,000 Sheckles)
- Drink Luck potion (+50% Luck for 10 minutes)
- Equip Royal Bait (+100 Luck)
- Fish at Coral Reef cave (high-value species pool)
During this exact setup, I caught 2 Mythic fish and 5 Legendary fish in 15 minutes. Total sales: 420,000 Sheckles. After deducting weather costs and potion costs (~95,000 total), I netted 325,000 profit in 15 minutes.
Common Weather Machine Mistakes
After watching hundreds of players use the Weather Machine, these mistakes appear constantly.
Mistake 1: Activating Single Weather When You Can Stack
Many players activate only one weather type, wasting two available slots. Unless you’re extremely low on Sheckles, always stack at least two weathers.
The effects multiply rather than just add together. Wind + Cloudy gives you faster casts AND better Luck, meaning you catch more fish AND those fish trend toward higher rarities.
Mistake 2: Using Shark Hunt Without Proper Gear
I’ve seen players spend 300,000 Sheckles on Shark Hunt while using basic rods like the Tin Rod or Wooden Rod. These rods can’t handle shark weight limits, making the event completely worthless.
Only activate Shark Hunt if you own rods with 300,000+ kg weight capacity: Astral Rod, Hazmat Rod, Ghostfinn Rod, Angler Rod, or Element Rod. If you’re unsure which rods are best for different situations, check out our Fisch rod tier list for detailed comparisons.
Mistake 3: Activating Weather Before Traveling
Weather starts the moment you confirm activation. If you’re still on the Weather Machine island when you activate it, you’ll spend 2-3 minutes of that precious 10-15 minute duration just sailing to your fishing spot.
Always sail to your target location FIRST, then return to activate weather. Better yet, have a friend activate it while you position yourself at the fishing spot.
Mistake 4: Ignoring Server Weather Notifications
Fish It displays weather notifications in the top-right corner. Before spending Sheckles, check if someone already activated weather.
I’ve saved over 500,000 Sheckles by simply checking notifications before activating. If Storm is already active, there’s no point spending 35,000 more Sheckles on Cloudy or Wind.
Weather Machine vs Natural Weather Events
Fish It occasionally triggers weather events naturally without player activation. Understanding the difference helps you save coins.
| Aspect | Natural Weather | Weather Machine Weather |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency | Every 30-60 minutes (random) | Player-activated on demand |
| Duration | 5-10 minutes | 10-15 minutes |
| Stacking | Cannot be stacked | Stackable (up to 3 types) |
| Cost | Free | Costs Sheckles |
My strategy: if I see natural Cloudy weather activate, I’ll quickly trigger Snow and Radiant to complement it. This gives me triple weather buffs while only paying for two.
