How to Make Traps | Animal, Drifter, Player Traps | Vintage Story | Tutorial & Guide

[@ApacheGamingUK]

It should be noted that during a Temporal Storm, drifters can spawn in ANY spawnable space... including the block the player is stood in. Therefore, the centre spot of the Drifter Trap should be spawnproofed. This could be as simple as putting a single Peat brick down on the block, or using a slab. Be aware that it is possible to slip off a slab, even when pressing Shift.

Thanks apache! That was a definite oversight on my part when i made this video 😭. Pinning your comment for other folks. ❤

Hope this is helpful to all you cats out there! For the Player trap, If you're questioning the meteor bait block and land claim then fear not! Just set the land claim to be below the Meteor or other bait block, thus covering the rest of the trap/hole but still allowing your prey to break the bait! Happy hunting!

At 3:50 Boiling water is a much better alternative (tho hard to find) for the pit. It passive kills them and you can AFK Temporal Storms so long as you shield yourself from rocks on the platform

@Papa So, the mechanics of the player trap works on ALL gravity-affected blocks, right?? Well, then if so, I have a more utilitarian use in mind for it... A BETTER WAY to gather up Charcoal without using a shovel: Firewood and Charcoal are both gravity-affected blocks which means that we can build our Charcoal pit the same way as the trap using Firewood instead of sand. After the burning of all the Firewood into Charcoal, the Charcoal should fall freely to the bottom of the pit. I haven't tested this yet, but it does sound like it would be fun to test and see if it works!

[@PapaCheddar]

Wow, that's incredibly creative. It makes sense that what you said would work. I think you're onto something here! I think i may join you in testing that out 🤔 Well played lol

[@techstuff9198]

Chamber still needs to be sealed.

[@PapaCheddar]

It doesn't work. When i tested it the charcoal was made just fine, but then it was floating charcoal 😂 gravity had no affect.

[@melparrishjr]

@@PapaCheddar You know, a particularily CHEESY way to mod it would be to get in there and alter the properties of Charcoal ...if it's based on MineCraft it will have a uniquite item ID number. Lol just change that from true to false or something like that... too stoned for tech atm.

[@PapaCheddar]

😂 i can dig it haha. I looked into modding VS once. It's waaaay beyond my level lol. My 2 brain cells would explode.

Great traps. I am enjoying your vintage story series! Happy New Year!

[@PapaCheddar]

Thank you ❤️ i appreciate your support 😊. Happy new year!!! And don't get into too much trouble with the traps meow 😜

That's a pretty blatant trap. I'd suggest doing that on a beach or sandy biome, so it blends. Also, put the iron block on the same level as the sand, so it looks like it's spawning naturally. You'd be better off making the trap bigger, as well. I know I don't get that close to stuff when I'm mining it. What you could also do is line the walls and floor with torches, preventing someone from noob poling out. If you're doing this on a beach, I'd suggest bating the trap with a pretty shell, rather than meteoric iron. First, not everyone has iron+ tools to mine it. Second, that sort of a boon would provoke a bit of paranoia on a server. I'm not even sure if any of this would work... If you're using claimed land to trap them in there, how would they break any block to trigger the collapse?

[@PapaCheddar]

Haha yeah the trap needs to be adapted to fit the situation. Mainly just showing the trick with doors and sand/gravel to get the job done 🤪. The land claim would have to be at the level just below the breakable bait block. Oooo a shell would work well! Haha i go for every shell i see, every single shell 😂 ole papa cheddar would fall for his own trap!

[@lukusblack6442]

@@PapaCheddar I would too, especially the starfish. A few times I had to grind them... broke my heart, but there was no limestone to be found. lol

[@PapaCheddar]

@@lukusblack6442 lol omg... I don't even want to think about grinding them... That hurts me on some real levels haha 😂. I would have started a new world! Haha

[@stevehayes2258]

couldn't you dig a deep pit under the sand after breaking the doors? oh this videos 3yrs old lol.

[@PapaCheddar]

🤣 yeah, i dunno if this still works. If it does though, you totally could dig a deep death pit.
