How do you use a Capture Cage?

[Drunk Bunny Games]

I have a capture cage in my Pouch and the loading screens state that I can use these to capture chickens or cats. But I have no idea how to actually implement the thing - anyone know how to use it?

[Falsus Te Deum]

Chickens need wild flower seeds. Cats wants kitty fish. Both need to walk and not run. If they runs you have to aproach them another time.
If they walk, walk up until you get a promt to feed them what they want, it states in the prompt what they must have. Then you get a prompt to capture the animal.

Kitty fish you can get from submerged collection point. The harbour has 3 white gather points, 1 blue, and 2 orange. The starting beach has one blue gathering point.

The seeds from most white natural gathering points, but not common. Can also grow them, if you have seeds.

Hope this helps?

The Kitty Carp can also be acquired by fishing, but blue bait tends to make it more likely, especially Fish Balls.

I managed to capture a chicken, but as yet am missing Metal Fittings for the coop (again, clueless as to how to get them) and also how do I get river water? I figured I'd need to craft a bucket or something but the recipe list is so vague it's hard to know where or how to obtain ingredients. Is there a guide somewhere that helps? And every time I fish I get just Small Fry no Kitty Carps

[Falsus Te Deum]

You create or find them. Check the recip page, it should be listed there. If it has a ? you can still see what it needs to be created. It lays below iron.

If you do not know how to or where to make them, open phone, choose the crossed tools image (Crafting). There you see 2 page icons on the left. The first is materials and how do craft them, the second is craft tools and such.

Edit: to be precise Metal fittings need 2 iron or 2 empty cans to be made.

iron can be made with 30 scraps or 2 scrapmetal.

Almost all items in this list can be made from a baser item in several steps if needed.

Yeah I was thinking it could be the natural order of things. It's just I find myself spending my time collecting things from bushes and then having to wait to search them again and before I know it, it's nightfall. It would be helpful if the girl did something instead of mope around! So, how do you collect river water then? Do you need to craft something?

[Falsus Te Deum]

Riverwater can be found at streams and some pools.
Standing with starting beach to the back. Take the path to the right. Before the point where you have to jump to rocks there is a white point to search ground at water to the right, it's right after the white mining spot.
There is more places like that 3 more i think it is. 2 around the second campsite, and one on the shortcut to the harbour.

After you hit 3 hearts you can give them skills to help with various tasks. Gather flora, mining, fishing and such, but it's not a lot, but some. Sometimes they can do things before that, but that is very random.
Don't forget to equip them with fishpole, spade, butterflynet and pickaxe.

And don't forget to make them fore yourself, they are also made in stages. Crappy broken one first, then white and so on. The required items to do so is stated at each lvl. If there is just ???, that only means you do not have required items to make them.

Thanks for the help - I'm progressing a little now, I think my problem was that I was storing the food in the wrong place, so the girl was constantly on 0% stomach. So I guess she was moody because of that. Mind you when I made some food and put it in the cooking storage she ate it and complained of a stomachache! No pleasing some people huh

[Falsus Te Deum]

Remember to check the coocking storage at least once every day. And remove all dark matter you find there. They will eat it and get stomach ache. They will get sick without it, but not as often.

I was trying to add a chicken to the coop but when I hit the add button the chicken does not appear in the other box it is just gone from my pouch. Has anybody had that issue?

Me too, no idea why though.

If anyone can help please, that would be great!
