TwisTonFire - Better Trapping

Check out my other mods!



TL;DR
Massively expands (optional) bait lists, adds a smart in-game trapping UI, and ships several QoL tweaks for a smoother, clearer trapping experience.

Ingame Wiki and helpers
With just a few clicks, you’ll find everything you need: which animals are catchable, where do you find them, when they’re active, which traps you need, and what bait will catch them.

Vanilla or Massively Expanded Bait
I researched each animal and cross-checked every bait against real in-game items. The result: a sensible, realistic, and much bigger bait pool for every species.
Ever wondered why a freshly opened can of tomatoes couldn’t be bait? Now it can.

This mod lets you choose your style: stick with pure vanilla bait tables—
or switch to the fully expanded “Better Trapping” set.

Quality-of-life improvements:

• Small baits are now accepted (no leftovers; reduced effectiveness).
  
• Traps can use bait directly from backpacks and bags.
  
• Trap catch timer issue fixed, with a compatibility guard for Trap Catch Timer Fix by Afyrmo

Trap = Trap helper
Book = Your Wiki


Set your home (where you sleep) and walk at least 75 tiles away.



Then click on your desired animal to open this:



You can see everything here, every possible bait, every trap etc.

Is this mod compatible with ..X..

This mod is compatible as long as X does not modify animal pools or bait pools.
My traps are too small to catch cows or pink elephants.
Only the vanilla catchable animals work with these traps, and the mod only provides information for those animals.

Can I use this mod in an existing save?

Yes. You can add or remove this mod mid-playthrough without issues. Your traps won’t disappear; however, any traps already baited may stop catching with their current bait until you rebait them.

Why did you make this mod?

I want to enhance the vanilla experience—not overhaul it.
I also spoke with the developer behind the trapping feature, and even he admits that the system is quite old and likely due for a full rework soon.
Until The Indie Stone updates it themselves, this mod is here to bridge the gap and make trapping feel better in the meantime.
