A few noob questions.

[2High2tell]

Ok, Just needed a few questions answered please.

Snare. Do you need to leave some sort of bait with it. I have not caught a thing yet, and sometimes my snare is broken. So I am starting to think I am using it wrong.

Curing things. Like guts or leather, It says needs to be stored for 4 days to cure. Can I just put in a locker for 4 days or does it need to be on or near a fire?

Compass, is there a compass in game?

Loot respawn? If Ileave an area for a long time and come back does loot respawn or is it a 1 shot deal?

Thanx to whomever answeres. I know I can look at wiki but that is one sided, may tell me yes or no but asking people usually gives a stradegy along with the answer instead of just, yes there is this or that. Cheers..

Snare: You have to place them where the rabbits are. Look for them and place the snares there.

Curing: Guts and leather need to be placed inside on a floor/table or similar. By inside I mean where you get a loading screen entering. This also include mines.

Compass: No

Loot respawn: No

ahhh OK, TY, curing leather and guts I was just doing wrong then, I was storing in lockers. and the snare I put in the open and must have been trampled by a deer or wolf. Thanx for helping man..

I haven't tried fishing shacks for curing hides and guts, but loading screen doesn't seem to be 100% neccessary, since they are curing just fine on the floor of Mountaineer's Hut, which does not have a loading screen when you enter.

Hint on snares-place a number-3 or 4 close together in spawn area-if you are in the right area you could be rewarded with a multiiple catch-for me, have to wait one over night period. Broken snares seems to be randomely generated. And no bait necessary-tried that when I was noob-tried the mushrooms as bait :-)

Think the hut works like a cave-believe I tried fishing hut once and it didn't work-will have to try again just to be sure-some of the fishing huts have doors now.

I will say that loot is not suppose to respawn but in the current game state loot is repawning but it seems to be a bit random on what and where. I had the entire area of blue trailers near the clear cut respawn loot after about 65 days could have been sooner but I didn't go back there for a long time. It's a bug and the devs are aware of it.

[athikers]

yep, just collected a new bedroll-98%-and another whetstone at quonset-also tested the fishing huts for hide curing-kited a bear back (I now belong to the one shot bow club-brag) and checked to see if you could cure hides there-a big no-did not try a hut with a door-a blizzard and night were coming in so I ran back to land to hide.

[WireDawg]

Find a place with rabbits running around and put the snares down there.

Rabbits mostly get caught in snares about sunrise, so leave your snares out over night & check in the morning when the sun is up.

Fishing huts without doors can not cure anything. But i don't try the hut with door. Inside the watchtowers you can cure things so i guess the cars can do it too but never tried.
