Did you manage to catch anything with the traps?

I tried to catch rats without bait but I waited several hours and got nothing, I tried outdoors and indoors and being quite far away. Any advice ?

The chance is very small, I recommend setting traps shortly before you go to sleep (About a 10% Chance per hour)

If its indoor, it needs to be in another room, with closed doors. So you either spend the time outside or have it closed off.

Ok thank you, i will try that :)

chance is displayed right there when you hover over the trap. you have to be around 4-5 spaces away for the trap to be at full strength. Other nearby traps also weaken the chance a bit, so don't put them right next to each other.

without bait, it's like around 5% chance to catch something per turn.

just leave it a few spaces away before you sleep, or leave it on another map space you know you'll revisit eventually. once it catches something, you have 4 days before it goes rotten, so no need to pick it up asap.

the higher end traps will usually catch at least 1 mouse per night, maybe more. lower end start with a lower chance. Around 5 of them can feed a full team of 3, they are very good. box or cage traps are best of course.

I gave up on trapping and just went with fishing.
Once you get a couple fishes and turn them into fillets, you can then snowball into having more baits and more fishes (as long as you can keep the fishing pole's durability up).
You can then dry most of the fish fillets for long-lasting food.

fishing takes time, traps are place and forget, both have merit of course. There are fish traps as well.

Also fishing requires water, which is very rare. In fact until this update had never seen a park or the sea/ harbor before

The park was there before, altho very rare. Seaside and Heli are new I believe tho.
