bird trap

[BelleM]

How do you guys use the bird trap? After the big update, I found myself couldn't interact with the bird trap at all. I couldnt feed it or harvest it. The bird trap is more like a decorative stuff in my world now. Help!

Old reply.

The production time seems to be changed to 4 in-game hours since v2.1.3.13.

How do you collect eggs? Before the update I remembered I used to feed seeds to the trap and harvest eggs later. How do I do that now? Because I cant interact with it at all

Four in-game hours after building or reloading the Bird House, can you see the F T prompts?

I cant interact with any bird traps (as you can see from here https://imgur.com/a/I346iCn )
Is there any wrong with my traps?

In your screenshot, those nests did not despawn, meaning your Bird Houses' placement is correct because the space directly above them isn't blocked. Nicely done.

To make sure that the right amount of time has passed (4 in-game hours when Farm Resource Production Time is set to x1), can you go to the rooftop and look down to see whether there are indeed eggs in the nests (i.e. the required amount of time has passed for spawning eggs and also for a chance of spawning bird)?

I just did a test with a new game to show the spawning of eggs in the nests and the prompts, so the Bird Houses worked correctly for me in v2.1.3.18.

I also checked an old save of mine (last saved in v2.0.10.1) and the Bird Houses also worked for me in v2.1.3.18.

Thank for your reply.
My traps didnt have any eggs inside. I've built it for like 4 to 5 days in-game time but still couldnt interact with it. Cant feed or harvest.
I'll try to rebuild it again just like what you did in the video to see the result then :(
Do i need to lower it a bit for it to be working?
I am seriously confused with those traps T___T
I really want it to work :(

I just did a test with the Bird Houses' nests as close to the ceiling as possible, and they all functioned properly, so the height is not a problem in my case.

To test on your own, save the game first, and then enable the sandbox mode to advance time. If you need to know how to enable the sandbox mode, watch PlatypusMuerte's video.

Caveat with Sandbox Mode
In terms of achievements, note that whenever you enable the sandbox mode, do NOT save the game, because later on, even after sandbox mode is turned off, the flag that's set in the memory still exists and will be saved onto SSD/HDD.

That is, achievements can NOT be obtained in a flagged save game.

That's why you need to save before enabling sandbox mode, so that after you're done with testing, you can reload the save that was saved before the sandbox mode has been enabled.

Multiplayer
If your save is a multiplayer game and you're still currently playing, you can invite me to your game (send me a friend invite 1st) to try finding out what's the problem with your game. If it's a single player game, you can load that single player game into a multiplayer game via the multiplayer menu from the title screen. That is, if you want me to go over to check.

You can email your saved game to the devs ([e-mail]).

Normally, saved games are located here.
C:\Users\<Your Windows User Name>\AppData\Local\LF\Saved\SaveGames\

A saved game contains 5 things:
- a folder whose name is the name you save that game as.
- a thumbnail screenshot (PNG image file).
- 3 *.sav files.

Does the bird trap still work? I have been testing different setups and it seems the birds ignore the spikes when in proximity to the nest. I have birds spawn in or fly to the nest, then just fly away without taking damage.

Better place a real trap , instead of spikes, it works definatly. I make a circle of birdnests and 2 miniturrets with Animals only option per Target System ,in the middle. Thats it, when something spawn it get shoot directly on the birdnest.
