The Stick Trap is a small trap made of wooden rods tied with twine. It is the trap for catching birds. Beginner trappers use it to add meat to the diet without a gun.
It suits any survivor living off the land. Its main strength is that it works at any hour of the day. Its main cost is that it catches only birds, which give little meat.
The trap is crafted from four Wooden Rods and one Twine once the recipe is learned. It is also a rare find in garages, closets and attics. The Fishing Guide is the best occupation for fishing and trapping. It starts with the most Fishing skill. For Trapping, the Park Ranger starts strongest.
Using
The trap is placed on the ground, then left to work. A bird has a 40 percent base chance to be caught. Birds come at any hour, so the trap can work through the day and night alike. A caught bird turns into a Dead Bird ready to collect.
Birds are its only quarry. The ground traps for small game cover the other animals. The Snare Trap and the Box Trap take rabbits, squirrels and raccoons, but only at night between about seven in the evening and five in the morning. The Cage Trap has the best odds at 40 percent for those animals.
The Stick Trap has a trap strength of 15. That matches the Box Trap and the Crate Trap and is sturdier than the Snare Trap at 10.
Making the trap needs the Make Stick Trap recipe to be learned first. Wooden Rods come from the Carve Wooden Rod recipe.
Trapping
