Hello, survivors!
Simfest is here!
Until July 24, Survival: Fountain of Youth participates in this year's Simfest, an event full of amazing sim games. It's an excellent chance to find some hidden gems of the simulation genre and add them to your library!
And now, how about some light Friday reading?
Tired of chasing those chickens? Not confident enough to face a jaguar? With the upcoming update, we're introducing traps, an ultimate way to get animal resources without brandishing a spear and getting hurt. Although, you’ll need some patience. And a bait.
It's a Trap!
The trap has a range. If an animal's spawn area falls within the trap's range, that animal may be trapped. There are four types of traps: the higher its tier, the more various animals it can capture, from sneaky crabs to scary pumas.
What are the chances?
The chance of triggering is checked once a day and is calculated depending on various factors: the type of trap, the type of animal it is set to catch, how long ago the trap has been set, etc. The trap didn’t catch anything? Check it the next day!
Don't forget the bait!
Every trap needs a certain bait to lure an animal you’re hunting for. Want to know how to catch a jackal with some petals? You catch a chicken with a couple of sage flowers, and then a jackal — with a chicken’s carcass.
The trap is automatically marked on the map with an icon. On hover, it will also show the radius of the trap and what animal areas it covers.
One at a time
Catching an animal in a trap does not affect the number of animals in the area. And with no live animals around, the trap can still catch one. One more important thing: in one area, you can only catch one animal at a time, no matter how many traps are there.
The trap can only be triggered if it is not within the player's line of sight. No way to cheat the game here, even if you hide really-really well.
We hope that you enjoyed this little guide on traps and you're eager to try them when the time comes, and it is coming already in about two weeks. If you have questions about traps, the upcoming region, or anything else, bring them in the comments!
