Making Rabbit bait?

[RetroACE135]

So I'm still learning the basics of this amazing game and decided to (sort of) "cheat" by looking up how to trap rabbits so I can make clothing and such. I read that for the rabbit bait, you had to use Bardock root. After reading the wiki on Bardock, it states that it only grows wild, and cannot be cultivated.

Are there any renewable recipes I can use besides Bardock to avoid using it all up?

Yes you can use a berry carrot bowl so six berries and one carrot mash it then either !. put it on a flat rock and use it that way or 2. mash it and use a bait bag then use it that way.

PS: looking up recipes isn't cheating don't worry there's to many to remember lol. You'll even catch pro's looking stuff up from time to time

also if you say for example /snare it will show you on the right side the recipe for that etc.

Awesome! Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it! I'll be sure to start making rabbit bait for everybody now!

I've already played a few lives and feel as if I have gotten half the hang of farming. I will always try to make sure that any hardened rows I see always get a fresh bowl of dirt if somebody is composting. It seems like nobody has any hoes made, though.

But now that I know the basics of snaring and baiting rabbits, time to start making cloths for everybody so the whole town isn't nudists. (unless they choose to live the life of a nudist, I won't judge them. lol)

Just a quick tip on snaring rabbits: If you've got a lot of close holes you can always fill a bucket with berry carrot mash and put that onto flat rocks to carry upwards of 30 bait at once vs 3 in a rabbit pouch.

So a rock can hold all 30? I'll have to try it.

Also, I've been a rabbit slaying monster the past few lives I've lived. The last one I just had, I managed to make myself a very nice rabbit fur clothing set. It took a while to thread it all together since nobody was growing milkweed for some reason. lol

Everybody else was either farming or cooking. I didn't really see anybody else catching rabbits or anything other than farming. lol

You have to repeatedly unload the bait onto the rock.

Bucket of berry carrot mash > use bowl to scoop it out > use bait on the flat rock > either fill bait bag or use flat rock with bait on snared hole.

Basically using a bucket helps to catch more rabbits quicker because you can bring more bait at a time rather than being limited by burdock roots or bait bags.

Ah, so the rock can only hold three bait amounts at a time but the bucket holds more bait total. I wasn't sure what you meant by that. lol


I've just been using a flat rock that I find in the wild and dump the bowl on it, then put the empty bowl in my backpack, then carry around the rock until empty, then bring the three rabbits I find back to town, drop them off (and the bowl if nobody took my rock), make more bait and throw back onto the rock and go right back out. A bucket would be more clunky I think, unless it makes 30 rations for the price of 1... I'll have to try that out, though.
