I'm doing the advanced course, and it wants me to build a trap fence ... I've already built one. So I go and kick a trap pit down, and then reset it. Zoom out...nothing. The completion doesn't proc. What're the requirements here? Do I need to wait for spring to redo this by building a brand new trap fence somewhere??

Can't say with any certainty, but the step didn't register as completed until I made a second trap pit in my fence, so I'd suggest trying to dismantle two pit traps and rebuild them.

That's annoying as I've deliberately set myself up a space where 1 pit trap is sufficient for a choke point in a few different spaces, and I can't dig any new pits because it's winter.

As long as there's couple traps, couple sections of fence, with or without trees in the "chain", the task will trigger completed upon zooming out. You can apply a loop snare, or set a light lever trap, to satisfy the task targets.

Edit: 2 pit traps is the minimum, with fence sections/trees between the trap pits.

I'm pretty certain that resetting an existing trap doesn't qualify. Dismantling and rebuilding does as PALU suggested.

I've got a light lever trap, pit trap, fence line, and two snares ... still no proc :-\

I just tested, 2 pit traps is minimum for the task to be completed. I got 2 fence section and tree between the 2 pits.
I tried Light lever trap and loop snares: no-go.

Sigh guess I'm waiting till next spring when I start putting together a new trap fence somewhere. Thanks!

You can already scout for suitable location and start building the fence sections. Then just add trap pits once ground defrosts.

I might do that, the scouting, the fence depends on how much fence there is to build, but if I'm going to do a full one and not just one for the progress it makes sense.
