Animal Traps

[micha]

I have 5 animal traps and they are no longer working i.e. they cannot catch small animals. I put blueberries in them but no luck. Is there a way to make them work again? Or maybe smash them to get the materials?

These always worked for me .. try number two first ..

1) remove the bait, eat it, move trap a few feet (don't use the same bait again), wait until next day to rebait ..

2) refresh trap by unbaiting the trap, with out removing bait, then quickly rebait while bait is still in trap .. this may show an animal was already trapped but was glitching (no clipping through bottom)

^yummy yummy eggs?
I've tried some traps too(with some blueberries in it) but all i've catched were mice, rats and rabbits. Did you catch a chicken with the traps and when how have you done it?

have to catch chickens by running after them bare handed (no traps) or shoot them if you just want to eat ..

and yes, eggs are very very yummy ;)

well when i first started this game, The F would show to pick them up, but since i restarted a new game it would show up to pick the chicken up, i am sick of nearly getting myself killed to catch a chicken :(

I also want to catch a Bobby/ chicken but no luck. It's too hard for me. Did the F actually showed up, it doesnt happen when I play. I would get past the chicken and it's gone, so frustrating.

The trick to catching chickens is to start running before they do and look straight down at them when you are close. The F prompt will show up and you don't have to spam the F key and hope to catch one.

Check out this old video, still that easy to catch them anywhere : )

Just a little warning, some computers can not handle all the effects happening in the farm fields so not a good place for some players to chase chickens : (

Okay I'll give it a shot. Excited to see the F. Maybe I'm not looking down. Thanks.

I tried again looking down on the chicken F doesnt appear. I tried and tried to no avail. Can I catch chicken with animal trap?

I started with 1 trap and the moment I put down a second one of them, can’t remember which stopped working. I tried moving it and re setting it several times but it just won’t work. And it bugs the heck out of me to no end. You are not alone.

I've given up on the traps, and running after chickens like crazy. I have 3 chicken now and yummy eggs

Animal traps bug
Hi, my animal traps refuse to work, whatever I try. I followed several times what @NativeOne proposed and much more in different order, without success. I know, it 5 years ago ... I continue to kill a boar every 4 days.
I am in 0.5.2.1
Help please.
