ShadowDuelist Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Eh I still go with the lazy noob system... I usually make a herd of beefalos not too close of base but not too far and leave nearby a bush hat and both types of firepits... when i hear hounds I just run to lit the endo or the fire, hide and let the boofs handle em. Then i pick the loot with a beef hat if the boofs are in heat. It's not the best, but it does the job, and has 0 maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fimmatek Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I was thinking for a long time which method could be the cheapest to maintain... because I'm also quite lazy, so I didn't want to make traps over and over, but also didn't want to waste the Houndius Shootius for simply hounds. So this is what I'm using currently: It has practically no maintenance costs, as the flingo runs only during the hound waves, and so refueling it is extremely cheap. The only disadvantage is that it's offline during winter, but then I'll just go to my bunny hutches (around 30) that works also fine, I just have to remember not to bring or pick up any meat.

Altari Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 when using tooth trap, it need to be reloaded and replaced..but shootius does not need to! placing sculpture is quite hard work...but when completed, can use it forever i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csc_unit Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Wow lot of diversity and ideas. Til now, you all mentionned maintenance as the big factor. And i must say, nothing more annoying than making toothtraps. Its like idk 30 logs and 90 grass per year? Its very costly. Keep em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it's quite funny when you think about it, because that can be done within a few minutes, yet we're too lazy to do it once every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, all fires must be extinguished before leaving the area, otherways the fire spreads over after the flingos get unloaded. The best way according to my experiences is to kill and replant the lureplants, that way no fire remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MondayNight Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Use a Bush Hat or Snurtle Shell Armor beside random mobs, hiding inside, for added lel factor. But be careful having said mobs relatively close, otherwise dogs will hug your bush/shell form cr@pping on your sanity 'till you get out and then proceed on munching you gang-bang style, now shadows added into the mix. Also those mobs must be sufficient numerous to handle 8-10 dogs (fire variant included) if you want them dead, not just distracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinister_Fang Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I just go with a large field of tooth traps with a flingo in the middle to help with fire hounds. Yeah, getting it started can cost a lot of materials, but I find maintaining it to be quite easy. I've always got grass and logs on me, and of course you get teeth from the hounds. So I just replace the broken traps on the spot after I've rest all the other ones. Besides, what else am I going to do with all these teeth?

My field is messy and unordered. I presume your's is very organised so you can easily see the missing traps. This way it is more manageable. genius !

My main server has the trap field on the other side of a wormhole near the base. You jump through and there are traps already all around you, a fire pit and (late addition) a scaled chest with fuel and trap mats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a convenience thing really. It is a bit unnecessary, but I tend to have a lot of unused gears laying around anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainChaotica Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Mine is so boring, even the character looks bored! ...but it works for me. Also works really well during frog rain. (There is also a normal firepit; Wigfrid and The Fluffy Bunch are just standing in front of it.) When not at base, my technique is to run towards the nearest other thing that might fight them for me, while mentally crossing my fingers. : P I also play DST alone a lot, so... ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blheb, It does the job On our (rest in peace) Glommer Goop server, we make a mineful of tooth traps and put houndius shootius near the edges, and then block it with pile of bones. Sadly i forgot take a pic of it, but it is glorious to see! The only pic close enough to the trap Spoiler idk why but everytime you make a post i keep eyeing on your goh wendy, say, you planning to sell that anytime soon? with discount~~~??

CaptainChaotica Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Oh, also, a tip? Put some kind of flooring under your tooth traps--otherwise, in the spring you might come home to find most of them EATEN by a stupid lureplant _right_ when you need them... That's why there's a carpet under the traps in my picture above. This is from before I FINISHED putting the carpet in, but you get the idea. ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
