0.39 Fishing and trapping in winter.

[Connll]

Did the update brought any changes to those professions?

 

I never had problems fishing and catching rabbits in winter before, but now I think I have spent some 10 days without getting anything at all, and I mean ANYTHING.

 

Using Cage traps and cabagges for rabbits (trapping 2)

 

Fishing pole and Lures for fish (Fishing 0)

 

Thanks in advance.

I read in the Wiki that the fish in Knox county vanish for a few months over the winter. This is probably what you're experiencing. I don't know that much about trapping, though, so I hope that works out for you. I've had the most success catching mice and birds.

As of 38.30 build (when I came back) and presumably 39.67.5 (which I'm just trying), fishes can be caught year round. Sure, initially it takes a lot of time to catch anything when your level is low (I don't get that since I'm on real-time and fish on the fastest speed-up available, but it does take quite a lot of attempts to raise the skill and eventually turn out something good… at least in late december in my last game )

 

I've experienced some difficulties in 38.30 with trapping, after a while my traps would not work anymore (even with moving away and waiting 2 hours just to be sure it was unseen an hour, then coming back regularly*). Trapping has been increased/fixed in 39.67.5 (check the patch notes).

 

*Seems trapping "tick" on the hour and work when unseen from a specific distance. I'll let you figure out the best way to deal with that an check on your trap regularly.
