Don't be afraid to use the basic traps and tripwire, you can kill a lot of enemies like the Wendigo

I think most people don't use the traps because they don't look that good but they are very cheap to make and it makes easy a lot of fights or if you just want to be sure you win a fight without gear or very early.

Who doesn't use the traps I thought the general consensus was they can cheese almost every fight.

more or less, in some dungeons they are very hard to place and they use the iron scraps needed for iron or the cloth for bandages/rags...they also have a bit of weight to them and they require a lot of iron. Most people will avoid them in the begining

In every dungeon is enough room to place a nearly infinite amount of traps, and u dont need tons off it to carry with u.
1 bloody trap would be enough for every fight, if u wait long enough.
And u can craft them easily while u are at the dungeon, just scrap the the things u find and make traps or nails..so u dont have to take 20 traps with u on the way to a dungeon.

Traps are simply broken like the bleeding/poisoning effect.

More or less, pressure plates are definetly broken but the tripwire seems a little more balanced but it might depend on your gear since some enemies are buffed depending on your gear.
I think they should rebalance the traps starting with the pressure plates
