I fought a group of spiders the other day with just one trap in my inventory, I dropped it in the spiders path, which trapped one, then I avoided the others, picked the trap up, and repeated. Worked really well, think I will be doing that more in future.

Build a fire by them at night, when they sleep shave them and light the fur that drops with your torch.

Number 2 Yes Please!!!!!

Hmm interesting - I guess that means no honey in winter then beyond whats already in the hive. Harvest once then gone.

Great thanks for the info. So the only outstanding question is - do bees still produce? Anybody?

So now that winter is here, I died without getting to experiment as much as I would have liked. Spiders nest got me (much harder now, and better for it). So when its winter, do plants stop growing altogether? Do bees stop producing honey? Do rabbits stop coming from their holes? What do you find useful to stockpile while its summer?

Yes from the left - BUT - there were gaps in the fence to let them in and out (on the left).

I took this picture cause of the awesome fire. but the grass fence that is burning is the one my pigs got stuck on in 'go home mode' so it shows the sort of distance I am talking about.

I am still seeing the 'run straight at it' thing with pigs who are an inch or two from their home, with a fence between them and the house (with a gap in it). Does it cut off when they go into Run Home mode?

I've seen this too

I started to do this, but then though you had to trap the rabbits first to then let them go into the rabbit pen, to then come back and get them later. Much easier to go boomerang hunting while at 30 something sanity - as long as you have a decent amount of rabbit holes to hunt (and a taffy in your pocket).

I like the sounds of this one - will give it a go.

how about a tweak to beeboxes as such:Bee boxes which are overharvested decrease production, until there is almost no honey produced.Bee boxes which are underharvested produce a 'swarm' which needs to go and find a new place to live - they aint happy.Adds a bit more management to them and the risk of being swarmed out if you pay no attention..

I set up two spider farms nearby my base, one at the top end of my base and another past a nearby herd of beefalo. My base is on a small archipelago, and the spider nests go at the very far end of it from where my main camp fire is:I have a secondary fire just below the worker pigs which I use to harvest wood and or spiders. i just light this fire if I need twigs (not as often as grass). To harvest spiders I just throw a boomerang at a couple of the nests and watch the show (If I am lucky a queen comes out):Farming spiders via beefalo is similar- wait till they are on heat then aggro the nests and profit:Collecting wood (If I am lucky a tree ent will show up and farm the pigs for me too):
