Rabbit Traps

[Klindhh]

My rabbit traps never seem to collect rabbits anymore. I was under the impression you could place them anywhere. Did this change? If so how do i need to place them now?

sometimes there are areas that you cant catch rabbit. just put one first to test if it captures one its safe to put more traps

I always put them in forest areas and never had issues even when just next to base.

I do the same thing but I put them a good ways from my base so raiders won't destroy them.

Maybe i'm just in a weird rabbit free spot and need to try moving them again. Thanks.

I used to build 1 to 3 rabbit traps near some trees very close to my base outside the walls.
I would make sure at least 1 tree and 1 or 2 tree stumps remain near those traps. Then I would build 40+ rabbit traps inside my base.

This was a few versions ago, worked great. No clue if that still works but I'll be playing the new beta soon so I will find out asap.

I started a new game and the rabbit trap is working as expected in the new base.

you mean rabbit still spawn even though the door is close?
and even the map not showing rabbit, but the trap still worked?

how long dose it usually take for a rabbit to be caught?

Also I read that you can throw a carrot, how do you do this?

Does it need rabbits on the map for a trap to work or does a trap always catch one after some time ?
And do rabbits respawn ? I hunt much of them with the bow and do not have the feeling they respawn. That's why I hope the traps work without the need to see them on the map.

Equip the carrot then hold the target button to aim and then hit the shoot button to throw

Rabbit traps dont need actual rabbits nearby. AFAIK They don't need to be on forest tiles and they do work inside fences.
The base that had the problem was around one of the new poi's (the rangers tower). I did not test if this was the problem. It could have been the world gen or something else.

It's best to place them in areas where you've seen rabbits before - yes it does make a difference :-P

(also don't put them all together, put them in different areas where you've seen rabbits)
