Cannibalism and Traps
I was watching a streamer play this game last night and something occured to me...

There are a fair amount of people that just walk past your base and disappear. Why can't we catch them in snare traps so we can kill and eat them?

Ideally there'd be two options when collecting someone caught in a snare: harvest and release. Releasing a person would be useful for tricking people into thanking you for helping them and getting a possible recruitment or trade as well as avoiding additional stress or trauma in your household. Harvesting... well, you get the idea.

More on the topic of behaviors of survivors caught in snares, should they need time to die when caught or would someone need to go out and manually kill them? Or should both be possible? Should they die when entering the trap similar to deer and rabbits? When you release a survivor, should there be a chance that they attack you as well as well as having a chance to trade, run, or ask to be recruited similar to expeditions on the map?

What do you guys think?

+1 I want to become the family from the Judge Dredd movie with Stallone. I mean this game could clearly steer into The Hills Have Eyes territory.

I'd love to capitalize on this kind of gameplay. Hopefully something like what I thought of gets implemented or a dev sees this or something. :)

I'd like the option. I mean, the father died in my first run and I ate him begrudgingly due to extreme starvation in the camp. After you have to eat your own Dad I cannot really see how snaring and eating perfect strangers would be that much worse.

Reminds me of the backstory I came up with when I was watching the aforementioned streamer and had this idea. xD

He had a lady named Nancy that joined the group from the outside. One of the children and another adult left the shelter on a run and the other child was asleep when the two parents died simultaneously of Radiation Poisoning.

Nancy, wracked with grief, carved up the parents so they wouldn't go to waste. She was uncertain how the others would take it, so she opened up as many cans of Chef Boyardee Raviolis as she could get her hands on and mixed in some of the human meat before welding the cans shut again. What she couldn't fit in the cans she passed as "deer".

Soon after, the little boy in the shelter also died. The both adults in the shelter went catatonic while the little girl slept and for several days she fed them so they wouldn't die. Nancy eventually pulled though, hardened by her deception regarding "the deer", and carved the little boy up too. The 2nd adult and the little girl were too broken at that point to question her decision to make stew out of Timmy.

We originally had mines that you can could craft that would kill the passers. It was a little buggy though, so we've taken it out for now. Should make an appearance in a future update though!

eating strangers would be a bad idea since there most likey poisoned with radiation, if you eat strangers you are effectivly killing yourself.

I'd like to catch the rabbits live and put them in a rabbit hutch in the shelter. Then you could use them as rations as they reproduced.

Not going to lie, that made me think of Gerbster meat. (Gerbils+hamsters. Gribble tried to crossbreed them for food in one of the episodes long ago.)

What about a bear trap you could make? Mines would damage the meat, and we dont want that... we want. fresh. human. meat. >:]
