Then equip something in your mouse/hand slot. When you press spacebar to pick up a trap, you will receive the loot from the dead spider, and the trap will not go into your inventory, but reset itself. You can do this to very quickly run around resetting the traps for your spider farm.

Daniel86268 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Problem is if you have a bunch of traps piled up, one spider might trigger, and therefore degrade multiple traps at once, while only "filling" one trap. Otherwise neat idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Heart Popcorn Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 This works well for frog rain, too. But you need a LOT of traps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, defo a problem! But you can press space bar on the traps that failed to fix and thatll put them upright. Not sure if it costs durability though... i should test that 3 hours ago, I Heart Popcorn said: This works well for frog rain, too. But you need a LOT of traps. Will run to my spider farm next time frog rain hits! Yeah lots of traps is expensive but worth the exchange rate of grass + sticks for spider loot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owlrust Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I like to use one trap for the Spider Warrior and bait out 3 spiders at a time during the day until the last one in the pod is the Warrior itself. With good practice, one could easily do it without taking any damage. This seems like it would drive me anxious if I tried to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sure efficient way to use traps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunk Mujunk Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I've personally found taking (3 stack) spider nests 1 at a time during the day is the way to go, that is if you are also killing the spider nest in the process. Webber actually isn't great for this because you have to attack the nest for the spiders to emerge, and obviously they all emerge at once in this case. All you need is 3 traps at a time. Simply walk into the webbed turf, 3 spiders will emerge, drop one trap more or less half way between the nest and the edge of the webbed turf, drop the next trap about a trap and a halfs length away from the first trap, and do the same with the third trap (moving away from the nest of course). Do this 3 times to clear out the 3 waves of 3 spiders, then run all the way to the nest, drop the 3 traps in a horizontal line (in relation to your retreat direction) right by the nest. Hit the nest and immediately retreat. The spider warrior will spawn and give chase, getting trapped in the process. If you hesitate to retreat even a little, the warrior will jump attack and more than likely avoid the traps. From here just kill the nest with pretty much anything, from weapons to tools. I think it's 38-40 hits with an axe, pickaxe, or shovel. Far fewer hits if using a weapon (obviously). It is way more efficient than it sounds when typed out, and you can take a full 3 stack nest down in like 20 to 30 seconds, while never having to worry about more than 3 spiders at a time. You are guaranteed a minimum of 6 (7?) web per nest (usually at least 9/10) plus all the other loot which isn't nearly as important (to me at least). If you've been farming and relocating 3 stack nests you can clear 6 to 8 or so in a long day no problem. Edit: Bunny Hutch method is always good, but I personally only like to do this with at least 6 spider nests, therefore requiring quite a few Bunny Hutches, so for me this is more of a late game strategy.

This works for silk, spider glands, and potentially carrots/rot, but the spiders are likely to eat the meat that drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunk Mujunk Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 As long as there is an aggressor within range spiders will prioritize the fight over the meat. If you have enough Bunnymen and they don't wander too far from each nest the fight will continue and the meat will be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
