In this lesson, we’ll be covering the three current variations of traps available in the game. No, not the kinds of traps you find in Hentai Discords. They sort you catch bunnies with.

Those are:
🐇 The Snare Trap
🐟 The Fishnet Trap
🐠 The Small Fish Trap

We’ll also cover how to craft each variant, where to locate their components, baits, preparing and cooking your catch and edible yields from captured prey. Netting and Metal Wire can be found within industrial areas. As well as residential outbuildings such as sheds, garages and outhouses.

The SHORT STICK for your SNARE TRAP can be harvested a few different ways, but the simplest is to approach a bush with empty hands and look at it. This will return a prompt to “GATHER LONG/SHORT STICKS”. You can break LONG STICKS down into SHORT STICKS by taking them to your hand and activating the prompt to “SPLIT”. One LONG STICK will reduce to three SHORT STICKS.

PLASTIC BOTTLES can be found in abundance amongst the world in all 4 tier groups. Mostly inside houses and snack shacks.

A baitless trap has a 15% chance to catch prey. Adding bait to the trap increases your odds of success to 85%. EARTHWORMS can be harvested by equipping a knife or digging instrument to your hands and looking down at exposed grass or dirt. Follow the prompt to DIG UP WORMS to gather them.

🐇 SNARE TRAP:
To fashion the snare trap you will need:
⭕ One Metal Wire
⭕ One Short Stick

You will also need bait. SNARE TRAPS can be baited with Fruit, Vegetables or Earthworms. Fruits and vegetables will catch Rabbits. While earthworms will catch fowl.

Begin by taking the SMALL STICK to your hand and dragging the METAL WIRE to the combine section to return the prompt to “CRAFT SNARE TRAP”. Now take the trap into your hands and find yourself a clandestine area with little-to-no player traffic and look at the ground. You will receive a prompt to “CHOOSE PLACEMENT”. Once satisfied with the hologram placement, press and hold the indicated key to “DEPLOY” the trap. Upon deployment of the trap, open your vicinity menu and toggle the arrow to reveal the trap's contents. Drag your bait to the content section. Your trap is now set. Now run away.

Survivors must be 25 meters or, about 80 feet away in Freedom Units, for a trap to be sprung. Each trap type takes between 15 to 25 minutes to spawn your catch. Once your trap has been triggered, the carcass will be attached within the trap’s contents section. You can paunch the critter on the spot, or toss it in your inventory to dress at your leisure. To reset the trap, look at it to activate the prompts and scroll to the “ACTIVATE” selection. This will rearm the device and can be baited for another catch. Your trap’s condition will degrade with each use. Therefore, each pristine trap can produce a maximum of four harvest before ruining. Currently there are no methods available to repair traps.

Let’s move on to aquatic traps. There are currently four species of fish to catch in-game. Mackerel and Sardines can be fished from saltwater. As well as carp and bitterlings from brackish and freshwater.

🐠 SMALL FISH TRAP:
The quickest and easiest trap to create is by far the SMALL FISH TRAP. Take a PLASTIC BOTTLE to your hand and combine it with a knife to activate the “CRAFT PLASTIC BOTTLE FISH TRAP” prompt. Next take the trap to your hand and look at the water to receive the prompt to “DEPLOY” it. Once deployed, follow the same process as the SNARE TRAP to bait it. Aquatic traps can only be baited with EARTHWORMS. The bottle will be positioned on its side whilst baited and upon capturing prey the trap will transition into an erect position. The batch of fish will be visible alongside the bottle.

🐟 FISHNET TRAP:
To capture the two larger fish species, we must craft the FISHNET TRAP. Take the FISHNET to your hands and COMBINE it with the METAL WIRE and follow the prompt to “CRAFT FISHNET TRAP”. Take the FISHNET TRAP to your hands and approach a body of water to receive the prompt to DEPLOY the trap. Bait your trap the same way as the others. The FISHNET TRAP does not have to be completely submerged. If you're having trouble deploying traps in the ocean just step further into the water past the waves to place the trap without frustration. When the FISHNET TRAP has successfully captured a fish, the carcass will be visible inside of the trap.

🍲 PREPARING YOUR CATCH:
To dress wild caught game, take an edged tool to your hands and combine it with the cadaver to process it. For land fowl and hare, this will return a prompt to “SKIN AND QUARTER” the beast. For CARP and MACKEREL it will read, “GUT AND PREPARE”
