Seems difficult to rise a skill.

Only if you do this for your everyday living.

With such numbers I see the paddle is optimal. Because you have 20 boards from log.
The same output with bowls, but you have only 8 block from one tree.

I think it is completely normal. Game is random. If you want to have an axe start as lonely settler.

In your case you have another quest to do. Move to other land to find a axe.

But are there exact numbers in files so one can consider output?

Say if crafting a bow equals to 100 cups than it worth materials. Bot if it is only twice better than - it doesn't.

The answer is in the diy_glossary file, it lists the fox trap & loop snare recipes.
These recipes show which skill is used to create those traps.

Useful file.

Are there information how many points gives any crafting to skill?

For example if you want to rise carpentry what better rises carpentry? Crafting bowls, cups or paddles?

Because you can make 8 blocks of one log but 20 boards.

It hard to survive as vegetarian in ancient world with primitive agriculture level. And completely impossible as vegan, due to B12 vitamin difficiency.

If you could marry and have a wife from neares willage she could help to save time by cooking and getting more nutritions from low caloric food. But it is better to invest time with more  callorie effective outcome.

Interesting if you could had a child and resume game in case of parent death. But it is worth only if you get good rolls genes from parents.

Gameplay questions / Re: Dont understand how trapping fence works

I found an answer how to build fence.

It should be along water, animals often walk on river and lake banks. Open area is easy to check. Half or third of a tile in the place where tracks most visible is enough.

It is better to have small fences in different spots than large in few. If the animal is there, sooner or later it will step on the trap. You rise your chances if you trapping more animals, han putting all effort to catch one. I have never caught bear or deer. Most of the time it is moose. So I guess animals are inhabit certain areas.

I always walk with bull. It carries all tools and staff so I can lower weight and decrease skill penalty.

Fox quality quality creation is affected by trap skill.
But loop snare by crafting.

I have high trapping skill and low carpentry. So I make fine Fox traps and decent Loop snares.

Pig is a living bait which doesn`t spoil.

I planned to build fence with inside and outside lines.
One to protect cow/pig from step in trap.
Other to catch predators.

In case you protect all camp with fence it is better to put cows/pigs close to outer fence with traps to attract predators enter the trap fence.

Thanks!

Do the crafting traps train trap skill?

Setting traps for sure does.

Hello

Which skill affects trap creation quality?
Loops and fox traps.
Is this carpentry or trap skill?
Does creating this trap improves some skill?

And which stats affects trap skill?

As I understand trap fence can protect you from animal entering your location.

Other suggestion of fence location would be near the water with tracks of animals.

But what are other cases? Does just simple fence line in the middle of the map helps to catch an animal?
Or you need to find a place to block passage?
